+Whilst updating my About page, I thought about creating a slideshow of several
+images instead of just the one static image. When I looking on Drupal.org, the
+only slideshow modules were to create slideshows of images that were attached to
+different nodes - not multiple images attached to one node. Then, I found the
+[Fancy Slide](http://drupal.org/project/fancy_slide) module. It's a jQuery
+Slideshow module with features that include integration with the
+[CCK](http://drupal.org/project/cck),
+[ImageCache](http://drupal.org/project/imagecache) and
+[Nodequeue](http://drupal.org/project/nodequeue) modules.
+
+I added an CCK Image field to my Page content type, and set the number of values
+to 3, then uploaded my images to the Page.

+added, I went to the Fancy Slide settings page and created the slideshow.
+
+I added the dimensions of my images, the type of animation, specified the node
+that contained the images, the slideshow field, delay between slides and
+transition speed. With the slideshow created, it now needed embedding into the
+page.
+
+I added the following code into my About page, as described in the Fancy Slide
+readme.txt file - the number representing the ID of the slideshow.
+
+```language-php
+<?php print theme('fancy_slide', 1); ?>
+```
+
+In my opinion, this adds a nice effect to the About page. I like it because it's
+easy to set up, and easy to add additional images later on if required.
