Here is a great slideshow tool that I found. It’s called JQuery Cycle Plugin. It offers a bunch of cool effects. It a plugin for JQuery. JQuery is a library that makes JavaScript effects easier to code. Both can be integrated with WordPress.
I used JQuery Cycle Plugin to create the animation found on the WordPress powered, GreatStreetsABQ. I had a hard time trying to make the transitions less choppy.
Do you have ideas on how I should have coded differently? Do you have a similar example? Is there a different JQuery plugin I should have used? I would appreciate getting advice – comment and share below!
