I've just set up a blog at blogger.com which I will be using as a photoblog. I'm looking at presenting the photos in a smoother, more user-friendly way than the norm, i.e clicking the photo and it opening it it's own default page with the stark white background.

I'll include an example at the end of my post, to better indicate the kind of thing I'm after, but I know very little about what is required to achieve such effects. Are they bespoke and coded by the people that build the websites, or do they use a 3rd party viwer of some sort?

The kind of thing I'm after is this. It's just a simple 'Next' and 'Previous' button to navigate through the images, but it's the transition I like - that ever-so-slight fade between one image and the next. I suppose what I'm asking is where would I even start to acheive such an effect, and would it even be possible on blogspot?

If the answer to this is too complex then any advice or pointers on how I might present my photos in any other way than the default would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Go to the view > source or righclick on the page and view source to view the code for that

<script type="text/Javascript" src="js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/Javascript" src="js/image-slideshow.js"></script>

These two scripts are used to achieve the effect. If you know JQuery or Javascript you can proceed with the reference of the source. Or otherwise you can easily achieve this effect from flash.
