Ok, that works. I see where the description tag is in the Picasa feed and I sort of understand your email. I am not hosting the gfslideshow.js file. I have made the alterations that you suggested. I am not sure what I do next or where I put your next steps. I am having a disconnect of how to get that information into the object for display: new GFslideShow(main, "slideshow", options); I think I am missing something somewhere.
