As you might have noticed, I recently changed my website around a little. Aside from the new banner navigation image, I changed around the flash intro page that I wrote about before.

I really wanted to have the flash embedded seamlessly into my website’s theme. Before, the flash page was completely disjoint and the style didn’t look like anything on the rest of the website. It was totally unprofessional and a total hack job, but it worked.

I ended up using the Kimili Flash Embed plugin to embed the AutoViewer flash into a WordPress page. I then set this page in WordPress to be the default page by going to Options, Reading, Front Page = the page I just made.

I then moved the XML file (gallerydata.xml) and images folder that AutoViewer looks for into the root directory – done! Doesn’t it look beautiful?

PS – If you don’t want your new flash intro wordpress page to show up in the navigation menu, you might want to check out this quick WordPress hack for removing pages from the navigation menu. Simply add an &exclude to the php function and insert the Page ID numbers separated by commas you wish to exclude from showing.
