... hold the presses! I've just tried opening using Firefox - works fine! What's going on here!

If that doesn't work, try a different browser to see if the issue is related to only that browser.

What browser and browser version are you using?

Anyway, after I upload whatever image I want to use and try to put an external website address in the field Link URL, after saving the link is automatically changed to that leading to the image file on the wordpress server. It happened many times, in different situations (posting single image, posting gallery) and in different posts.

Any ideas what the problem might be? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Will be very grateful for some help.

unethical to have a link that states read more and sneakily redirects to another page rather than to the reminder of the related page it is supposed to be linked to.

I have to disagree with you time thief. I want to link them to content that is related to the image and headline on the home page slider. The featured slider post works in such a way that I cannot HAVE any other content in the post than what appears in the home page slider. At lantostechnologies.wordpress.com when you click on "read more" I want to take visitors to the relevant "markets" sub-page.

There's nothing sneaky about giving visitors the content that's most relevant to the link they click on. That's just Web Usability 101.

I want the "Read More" link to take visitors to a different page on my site and not to the sticky post.

For what it's worth that cannot be done on the other free hosted WordPress.com blogs using free themes and I suspect it can't be done on your blog wither. Why? Because it's unethical to have a link that states read more and sneakily redirects to another page rather than to the reminder of the related page it is supposed to be linked to.

In the Linen theme, as with others that use the home page slider, you create a sticky post with a featured image and it becomes one of the panels for the slider. PROBLEM I'm having is setting the "Read More" link to the correct destination URL. I've tried several times to set the "Link URL" field when going through the steps to set up the featured image for the post but still the Read More click takes me to the sticky post.

Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
To clarify a bit: I want the "Read More" link to take visitors to a different page on my site and not to the sticky post.

P.S. This is the second attempt at posting in the premium themes forum. My apologies if it's still landing in the wrong place.

Yeah, we decided to scrap the slideshow idea altogether, and just make the blog the landing page for the site, rather that using a static home page.

Thanks again.

CSS3 animations and transitions are simply not something you can reliably use right now.

Also, CSS is simply a styling document that the browsers use to place and style elements of a web page. It cannot be used to add or change functionality.

I'm wondering if there is a way to create slideshows using the custom CSS form (I have the upgrade, and my website is http://www.nyudri.org).

I'd like to have a slideshow where each image hyperlinks to different pages on my site (so it works like a preview section). The standard slideshow feature does not support this. There are ways to create slideshows using pure CSS, but I'm able to get them to work:

Help! Or am I just barking up a tree that's just not compatible with what I want to be doing?

Thanks,

I've used the slide show feature on my front page as a sort of "spotlight" to highlight new content on the website. The images themselves are hyperlinked to their respective posts and pages, but the links don't show up in the slideshow.

How can I make slideshow images clickable? I am using the basic [slideshow] feature.

Thanks!

Optionally, you can include the external link in the photo's description, but you will have to write it as HTML<a href="http://thelinkyouwanttoinsert">Your Link</a>

Since you are talking about only three images, you could also use an HTML table instead.

No mind.

When you insert the image into your post (or page), you should insert the URL of the photographer's site on the line called "Link URL" (not the link to the image)

Image URL
Title (You could put the photographer's name here)
Alternate Text
Alt text for the image, e.g. “The Mona Lisa”
Caption
Description

Link URL (link to artist's site, not a link to the image)

None File URL Post URL (ignore this line)
Enter a link URL or click above for presets.
Alignment
None Left Center Right
Size

<div style="overflow:hidden;">
	<div style="float:left; margin-top:10px; text-align:center; width:25%;">
		<a href="LINK_URL"><img height="112" width="150" title="IMG_TITLE" alt="IMG_HOVER_TEXT" src="IMG_URL?w=150&h=112" style="border:2px solid #CFCFCF;"></a>

Perhaps you can think of a more straightforward way of doing this using the Gallery. Otherwise, the only other alternative I know is to make a table using HTML in place of the Gallery.

Cheers!

And you just asked my next question. Thanks ;-)
