Detailed steps on inserting an HTML5 photo slideshow to a Google site
The following tutorial will show you the way on how to insert an HTML5 photo slideshow to your Google site as detailed as possible. If you have any confusion or run into problems when inserting your HTML5 slideshows to your Google site, please email for help.
Step 1. Prepare the HTML5 codes of your HTML5 photo slideshow.
To embed your HTML5 slideshow to your Google site, you need to get the codes of your HTML5 slideshow first. The HTML5 codes of your photo slideshow can be got from Go2Album. All you need to do are: open the link to your HTML5 slideshow on Go2Album, click the "Embed" tab, then the hidden "Embed" panel will show. The HTML5 codes of your HTML5 photo slideshow are in "Embed". You can get all the HTML5 codes with a single click of the mouse on these codes.
Step 2. Login your Google site, open the edit tool and choose a photo slideshow module.
After logging your Google Sites website, you will see the following tools at the top right of your Google site home page. The button with a pencil on it is for editing the Google Sites webpage you are viewing, the button with a web page icon on it is for adding a new Google Sites webpage, and the button to read "More" is for using other Google Site tools.
Whichever Google Sites webpage you want to insert an HTML5 photo slideshow on, you need to open that Google Sites webpage first. Then click the button with a pencil to enter the editing mode. In Google Sites, you are free to edit almost anywhere on your Google site's web page. After choosing the module for inserting your HTML5 photo slideshow, you can click the module you choose to enter the module edit mode.
Step 3. Use HTML edit mode, embed the HTML5 codes and update your Google site.
After entering the module edit mode, you can start to edit this module. Generally, the edit mode in Google Sites is visual. But the way used in this tutorial for inserting HTML5 photo slideshow is embedding HTML5 codes, so you need to click "<HTML>" to shift the edit mode from normal to "<HTML>".
After you click "<HTML>", Google Sites will open the following editor. You need to enter the HTML5 codes you get from the Step 1 to this editor. Because you can get all the HTML5 codes of your photo slideshow with a click of the mouse on Go2Album, so you just need to paste the HTML5 codes to the Google Sites editor, rather than edit them by typing the keyboards.
After pasting the HTML5 codes of your slideshow to the Google Sites HTML editor, you need to click the "Update" button to save your changes.
