 * Hi Dalton,
 * I was wondering, once the slideshow is setup, can a person stand back away from
   the monitor (and play with a yo-yo or eat an ice cream cone) while the slide 
   show runs on it’s own? Or does a user have to be at the keyboard in order to 
   click on button or picture in order to get the slideshow to slide from one picture
   to the next? I would hope that it’s the former in that it would not need direct
   manual input from the user.

 * Hi TechGirl,
    It sounds like you’re looking for the “autoplay” attribute. You
   can add it directly to the shortcode, or you can change it in the plugin settings.
