Make index.html slideshow dynamic

Simply including slideshow js before main js will probably not be enough. Slideshow.js will use async requests to get data from google sheet. Thus, main.js might have already finished when slideshow.js actually runs.

Look into using maybe jquery so we can make main.js's slideshow code wait

Maybe we can use .when() and .register() methods to make main.js's slideshow code wait until slideshow.js is ready

Jquery sounds intimidating but isnt really that bad. It expands what you can do with javascript.

With jquery, you can use $('#imgId').src='http://...'; to change an image's source. Whereas without jquery, you would do the same thing as
document.getElementById('imgId').src='http://...';

You can select all elements of a class with $('.className') and do something to it.

Jquery also lets you do things you cant do before. Look up jquery API. An example would be $('#photo').fadeIn(100); to fade in an image over 1 second

We don't update this part of the page enough to justify Dynamic Resource implementation.
