What it is: //Our idea is to help you **tell better stories online using photos**.// //With PhotoPeach you can create a rich slideshow in seconds to engage your friends or family. We also support background music, captions, and comments so you can elaborate on your story further.// //You have heard again and again: “A picture is worth a thousand words”, but **what if you could add a thousand words to your photos, and some music?** We think the whole slideshow is greater than the sum of the photos, words, and music.//

This youtube video does a good job of explaining the site. media type="youtube" key="jkd2AsE2g64" height="315" width="560"

This site is a lot like Animoto. It has the same basic functions. You upload your pictures, choose a title and music, and the site turns it into a slideshow. There's no themes- the pictures just cycle through. And to upload your own music, you have to pay to upgrade your account. However, this site has one cool feature that Animoto doesn't have. You can search youtube for a video, and the sound on the video becomes your background music. I think that makes up for not being able to use your own songs.

Here's a slideshow I made as an example. Please note that the music won't play if you can't access Youtube. IMPORTANT! Don't click on the middle to pause the slideshow-that just takes you to the same slideshow on the original site. You have to hit the pause button to stop the slideshow. media type="custom" key="11934754"

The story behind the slideshow

This was the best tutorial I could find- for some reason most of them were in Spanish.
