Can I incorporate a Photo Story on a website? Or save it as a website?

NOTE: I'm a novice so be gentle . . .

A quick Google for "Photo Story" brought me this link which looks like a
great resource for you. They even have user forums:

If you are talking about running a slide show on a website, you need to
have slide show software running at the webserver and it needs to be
cross-platform software. So I really doubt that you can run Photo Story
on a website or make a website out of it. Spend some time at the link
above, post on their forums, and find out for sure.

Since you are a novice, I'm assuming that you don't have your own
webserver. If you have a website, check with the hosting company (which
may be your ISP) to see if they have a slide show script you can run on
your site.

But she would still have to have server-side software to run the video
on the website unless she just wants to post it as a download. There
are quite a few server-side photo slide show apps like Gallery or
Coppermine but the OP's webhost would have to have them installed, not
the OP.

I believe you probably need a host that will install Frontpage
extentions on your site.

Interesting. Since I'm not a website designer I didn't know that.
Nevertheless, I doubt that the OP is going to do this but you never
know.
