Embed Scrolling Slides

You can add powerful embedded scrolling slide widgets to your website. Try this one by clicking on the black arrows:

Here is the actual code that produces the above scrolling slides:

Based on a Calendar Day Scroll

The above scrolling slide widget is really just an embedded 'day scroll' calendar. Learn more about creating and embedding day scroll calendars. Since the calendar builds a word processors into every day, this is a clever way to build a sequences of 'boxes' or 'slides' that can be shown.

You can view the original calendar here. Note how there are 5 days in June 2011 of the calendar with the content of the 5 slides. You have all the power of KeepandShare calendar editing including text formatting, inserting pictures, and adding hyperlinks.

There are just a few steps to creating an embedded scrolling slide widget:

1. Pick an unused calendar in your account (the above widget uses calendar4), since you won't want any holiday overlays or repeating events to show up in your slides.
2. Pick a set of dates to use, it really doesn't matter which ones.
3. Enter your content into these dates. Use any and all KeepandShare calendar editing features.
4. Create a day scroll calendar. For the 'Header Color' and 'Header Text Color' you'll want to pick White (FFFFFF) so the dates don't show up in the day scroll.
5. Set the start date to the first date of your content days.
6. Copy out the embed code and paste it into your web page.
7. Now add begin date and end date parameters to the embed code URL, such as "&bd=2011-06-05&ed=2011-06-09" (these 'stop' the scroll from progressing beyond these dates).

Required 'Credit Links'

We can offer you a free calendar and other embeddables because we keep our marketing costs low by gaining new customers through referrals and 'word-of-mouth' advertising. As you know, on the web, links are the equivalent of 'word-of-mouth'.

To continue to keep our marketing costs low, if you have a free KeepandShare account, our Terms of Service require that you must include a single, short 'credit link' on the home page of the website on which you embed any KeepandShare component.

Here is a sample credit link:

Credit links point to a KeepandShare page and include a specific anchor text that you should not change. The credit link is included in your embed code. Initially the credit link will appear just below your embedded component but you are required to cut and paste the credit link so it appears on your website's home page - so long as the credit link is human readable.
