*																																									*
* This file contains the slide objects to be presented in the photo gallery and   *
* trip journal. The MakeCaptions1 function defined elsewhere will use the objects *
* found in the "slides" (case sensitive) array. Each array element will contain a *
* single Slide object which means it must have a reference ID, link, width, and   *
* height. The reference ID string, the width and height are integers, the link    *
* is a string. To define where the hyperlink text within the link goes surround   *
* it the meta-tag <ref></ref> pair.																							  *
*																																									*
*																																									*
* Parameters for the Slide function call are (reference, link text, width, height *
* and copyright string. The first two are required. 															*
