I have just noticed an update to the slide show and posted on my blog

Whats your thoughts on this? It seems a new addition at least in the UK.

1)be sure that the images are smaller than the size mention
2)try some browser other than IE
3)Wait a day as Google has been having hiccups

I’m posting the full URL with http as it suggests. Was originally trying it from my blog & when kept getting error tried one from Flikr just to see if was an issue exclusive to my blog, but same error message.

Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions? Thanks.

You and every other rational user of Places but no Google is putting the “customer first”….:)

Andy :-)

Yes, given that they control YouTube video it is unclear why it wasn’t included.

I am also confused why there is still no video as well. That is definitely something I would like to see.
