Thanks. I am really looking to take the content from the slideshow, plus content from a previous version of the website, and turn it into a website, no slideshow.

It is quite old and needs to be updated in various ways. But I really don't want to embed the slideshow. I want to take the content and publish it as webpages. So, that's my question here: How do I do that? I have maps and stuff on it and it doesn't just copy-paste.

To preserve formatting when copy-pasting, I'd go with Wordpress, you'll save time and all your images can be also be imported in one or two clicks.

Honestly I don't know if other platforms such as Blogger/Blogspot preserves formatting, but I hope so.

For the maps and images, which I assume only cover part of the slideshow, for each slide do screencaptures of only the images (that is, they will be already cropped and separated from the text, hope I explained myself).

After you finish exporting all your images as individual pieces, it will be very easy to import them into place in your Wordpress.

I have a BlogSpot site. I left Word Press to move to BlogSpot.

Copy-pasting isn't working at all, except for the text. The graphics aren't copying at all.

They are mostly maps. I am considering redoing them.

Thanks for your feedback.
