Greetings shaunpv! Just in case you hadn't already figured the slideshow out, here are the steps that worked for me with Blacksea in Drupal 7:

1) Download and enable the Ctools, Views, Views Slideshow, and libraries modules in your site. Make sure the Views Slideshow: Cycle is also enabled (it comes with the views slideshow module).

2) Download and unzip the .zip file that is provided on the Blacksea Drupal page: http://www.neptunethemes.com/files/backsea_views_export.zip. In that folder you will find a text file called views_slideshow_view_export.txt. Also, you need to download the jquery.cycle plugin at http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/download.html. Create a folder called "jquery.cycle" in your sites/all/libraries folder and place the jquery.cycle.all.js (this is inside the download) file inside this folder.

3) Go to admin/structure/views/import in your administration panel. Copy and paste the contents of the views_slideshow_view_export.txt file into the textfield in this form. Save the new view.

4) Now you need to create a content type for your slideshow. Go to admin/structure/types/add and create a content type called "Slideshow." Edit the fields of this content type to add an image field called "Slideshow Image". You can remove the body field if you don't want to use it.

5) Once you have the content type created, simply add the pictures you want in your slideshow by clicking "add new content" using the "Slideshow" content type. Upload your images this way and save them. (Add new content for each image you want uploaded).

6) Now you just need to edit the View that you imported to correctly display your pictures. Go to the slideshow View that you imported. This should be at admin/structure/views/view/slideshow/edit. Make sure under the "Fields" area you add your Slideshow content type. It should look like: Content: Slideshow Image. Under the "Filter Criteria" you should add a filter to only display your "Slideshow" content type. It should look like: Content: Type (=Slideshow). You can edit the settings for the slideshow (transitions, etc.) by clicking the "Settings" link [Format: Show: Settings]

7) Make sure you have the "View: Slideshow" Block in the "Slideshow" section under admin/structure/block. Edit your settings as needed and enjoy using Drupal.
