I've never mapped a .xml file to webdna, but I'm sure it=20 could be done.

I just want to=20 automate the first slide so no one has to edit this XML=20 file every time they want to change out the photo. The XML=20 file looks simple enough, I thought it would be an easy=20 thing to do. I'll look into the mapping. Eddie Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
