OUR PHOTOBUCKET SLIDE SHOW - IS IT R.I.P? WHAT HAPPENED TO MEEZ AVATAR?

We haven't run a slideshow since March 2013.  We had a Photobucket account which allowed us to design the slideshows we used and use; the blocks you still see running are from Photobucket (but you can't make one like it.)  Then, I went to take down the seasonal Valentines I'd put up on it and discovered that removing them had broken the code forever!  Photobucket had also discontinued slide shows, a huge mistake in my humble free-bee-snatching opinion.  Watching that slideshow used to be one of Wes' favorite things to do when we got together to talk blog.  I think we need one.

At that point I went in search of new slideshow opportunities.  I actually have a KIZOA account and uploaded a lot of pictures, but so far, no go because their slideshow templates do not fit the design/ template of the blog. 

The Meez Avatar you may've seen from time to time on WES BRYAN - MY LIFE IN MUSIC, Wes' second favorite thing to view because he says it actually looks like him, is still available but we're having glitches.  A librarian friend of mine has explained that hackers have used Meez Avatars and JAVA as a new way of screwing things up for other people and so security is really tight on that.   I've looked at other Avatars but still think that Meez is the finest.  Let me explain just how bad the glitch is...  Sometimes the animated Avatar appears without a head!
