Going out for a travel is a good way to release oneself from the nervous intensity. It enables us to get close to the nature. Usually, we took lots of photos to keep the beautiful memories. When coming back from a travel, many of us may have the thought of storing these photos in a meaningful way. Here I'd like to introduce how to create a travel slideshow with music for DVD playback.

Tools we need:

1> PowerPoint comes with Microsoft Office

2> A PowerPoint to DVD converter

Benefits of Using PowerPoint to Create a Travel Slideshow:

- A plenty of animation and transition effects are available which can make your travel slideshow more dynamic.

- Rich editing features help you make your travel slideshow more personalized, such as adding fancy shapes, your own words in special character fonts, clip arts, music and videos.

Steps to Create a Travel Slideshow with Music

Step 1: Select photos from your camera

You may have stored hundreds of photos in your camera. But not all of them are needed to be included in the travel slideshow. You can select out the ones you want, and store them in a folder on your computer.

Free Photo Editing Tools: Some of your photos may not look that good. Here I'd like to share two wonderful free online photo editing tools. With these two tools, you can add some special effects to your photos or modify them easily. Freeonline photoeditor and editorpho.

Re: Looking for business partners in travel and telecom areas - Michael, In order to help I would need more detail. Travel and Telecom are pretty broad categories. I develop and design websites and I could help but not without a lot more information on what niche's your targeting. For example are you trying to just target people in and around Chicago or the whole United States.

Re: 4 Ways to Go From Employee to Entrepreneur - The situation that Wezi describes is more the norm than the exception. I have spoken to many "entrepreneurs-to-be" that have a desire to work for themselves but can't overcome the fear of making that critical leap. The truth of the matter is, if fear is preventing you from moving forward with your own business you need to overcome that fear first. To do this, try this exercise: 1. Write down as many detailed reasons why you are DISSATISFIED with remaining in your job until you retire. E.g., it won't let you achieve the lifestyle you desire; you are sick of commuting an hour each day; etc. 2. Write down in as much detail as possible your VISION of what your life will be like once you have your own business and you are fully engaged in it. Enjoy this step. 3. Create a list of the action steps you need to actually complete to get things rolling. What do you need to do first? Second? Third? Create a step by step plan. These three steps all work together to overcome any resistance you may feel towards making a major change in your career. If after these exercises, you are still too afraid, look at what you have written down. Chances are one of the three forces for change (dissatisfaction, vision, or first steps) are not yet strong enough to overcome your fear. Perhaps, once you really thought about it, things aren't really that bad in your current career, etc.... Hope this helps.
