=== How to use Portfolio ===
 
 
 
Before you launch the activity, use the ☆ on the left of each Journal entry to mark that entry for inclusion in the portfolio. The Portfolio Activity will use the entry title as well as the preview image and description.
 
 
 
When running the activity, use the ◀ and ▶ buttons to step one-by-one through the slide show. Use the autoplay button to start/pause a slide show. The delay between slides can be controlled by the interval chosen in the combo box. (The default is 10 seconds.)
 
 
 
Did you know that:
 
* the colors used in the background are taken from ''the XO colors of the user'';
 
* a warning is displayed if there are ''no starred entries'' in your Journal;
 
* the slide show can be ''saved as an HTML document'' that can be shared; and
 
* in the thumbnail view, you can ''reorder your slides'' (by dragging them).

:the combo box lets you select a delay time between slides when using auto play (Chose two-seconds, ten-seconds, thirty-seconds, or one-minute delay).
 
 
 
=== How to Save the content of you Portfolio to HTML ===
 
 
 
Each time your launch the Portfolio activity, it will update to reflect the current contents of your Journal. If you want to save a portfolio that represents a particular moment in time (or you want to share your portfolio with someone else), you need to save it as an HTML document. Select the "Save as HTML" option from the menu and the content of the portfolio will be saved as a document in the journal.

Horizontal split works better for long descriptions, and vice versa.  Maybe the activity use one template or another based on this.
