The slideshow plugin in plugin wiki has a height and width parameter. Unless I am mistaken, these are not connected to anything and have no effect.
Eventually I discovered the way to adjust the size of the slideshow is: In base.css put #slideshow1 { height: 500px; width: 580px; padding: 0; margin: 0; } img#slideshow1 { padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #ccc; background-color: #eee; width: 580px; height: 500px; text-align: right; top: 0; left: 0 } It would be good if this were put in the comments of the slideshow function in plugin wiki. Maybe the section on this in the book could reflect this. Peter
