MY ZOHO SLIDE SHOW!!!

Above is a link to my Zoho online document. I created this in about an hour and a half and ran into surprisingly few difficulties for once. My first problem was when I tried to choose from among the many options of backgrounds and styles. I was impressed by the variety in this free service. Then things went smoothly until I tried to insert a picture. On my old clunky computer, the bottom part of the page is hidden and you cant "grab" the screen and move it up. Anyway, I am no techno expert and I could not see the "upload image" command at the bottom of the "insert image" screen. I could not figure out how to put my pictures into the slide show for a few minutes and finally had to "hide" my toolbars under the view menu of mozilla to be able to see the "upload image" button. Also I could not find a drawing tool like in Microsoft Powerpoint. One could easily overcome this by creating drawings elsewhere and uploading them, but it was a little clunky for this reason. I am tired from a long day of teaching and everything else (3 kids, 2 sports, etc.) and I still managed to create something with not too much misery. OK, I lied. It was roughly 62% misery, but only because I'm so tired. I could see the advantages of this for easily producing something viewable for a large number of students, colleagues, or any large group you didn't feel like sending an email to with a file attachment.
