On the website screen, you'll see a **Splash** set. Add images to this set to see them on the Splash page.

 Adding multiple images will automatically create a slideshow. The order of the images in the set will determine the order of the slideshow, so arrange the set accordingly.}

### Editing header text and link
You can edit all of the elements on the Splash page. By default, the Splash links to the Gallery page at /gallery/. You may need to change the link location if you don't use the default Gallery page or rename it.
