How to Edit the Image Slideshow<\/h1>\n

When you first get your site set up, your home page will have a slideshow. This tutorial will cover editing this slideshow with images that are more personalized to your site.<\/p>\n

Basic Editting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. You will need to add your images to the Media section and make sure they are at least 1400px wide by 320px high. If you don’t keep this ratio then it will auto crop your images. Your images will appear pixelated\/blurry if you do not have them at least that size.
    \n\"Media\"<\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to Meta Slider Pro –> Meta Slider Pro and make sure the Homepage tab is selected.

  6. Add captions to images by simply typing text into the caption text box.<\/li>\n
