 * I have been embedding Picasa slideshows for some time to be able to let other
   users filter their photo albums and add captions, etc.
 * There are two disadvantages to this approach:
    1) because Picasa uses Flash Player,
   the slideshows are not visible on iPhone or iPad, not on my Samsung Galaxy, This
   is becoming a serious disadvantage!
 * 2) On PCs the slideshow works perfectly but at the end displays a great big arrow
   which takes the viewer right into my Picasa album, which I definitely do not 
   want.
 * Using Google Sites for a couple of other sites I maintain, I am able to insert
   a Google Gadget which takes the Picasa RSS feed and presents a slideshow which
   completely fulfils my requirements.
    I have spent some hours looking through 
   the slideshow plugins, but none of them really fit – they almost all use static
   photo galleries, sometimes with a one-off upload. Your plugin seems to offer 
   daily updates, which might be usable but can lead to misunderstandings! You can
   find an example of my WordPress page at [http://zurich.britishresidents.ch/past-events/golf-2013-2/](http://zurich.britishresidents.ch/past-events/golf-2013-2/)
   and, by chance, the corresponding Google Sites page at [https://sites.google.com/site/angloswissfribourg/recent-events/fasc-bra-golf-challenge](https://sites.google.com/site/angloswissfribourg/recent-events/fasc-bra-golf-challenge).
   Can you not offer an RSS feed function? Surely it is not so complicated.

 * I don’t have any plans to add an RSS feed to Shashin. It gets its data from Picasa’s
   feed. Why not just use Picasa’s RSS feed?

 * Thanks I understand.
    An RSS feed just gives me the slides without the slideshow
   in WordPress. There are plenty of plugins that use RSS but they are not suitable
   for a variable number of slides – only a slideshow will do that.
