  I’m really needing a good, simple, and free slideshow for my WP blog. I’ve looked forever, but just can’t seem to find something that will work.

  Here are a couple examples?

  Can somebody point me in the right direction on how to do something like that?

  Thanks!

  Anybody have any ideas?

  I’ve been trying SmoothGallery from JonDesign, but I’m just not happy with how it’s working out.

  I just need a slideshow that will have titles and a description pop up, as well as having the image clickable so it can take the reader to the post.

  By slideshow you mean that spiffy animated featured post thingie in the upper right? I’m sorry, I’m not aware of any possibility.

  Check out those links and that should give you an idea. Anything close to those would work well. I know they exist, I’m just not sure where to find them.

  Thanks for the help.

  I am sorry. There are restrictions on the inclusion of dynamic elements that won’t allow you to use anything of even far resemblance here.

  Joshmv – Several types of slideshows can be used here. The information is all in the FAQ:

  ella. I believe joshmv is thinking of a dynamic header which displays featured posts in a slideshow manner.

  I’m aware of that. He seems not to be aware of the options he can use.

  Thanks, I’ll check out those links right now.

  My current blog I’m working on is rapblogger.com

  I’ve got something on there that is close, but it’s pretty buggy, and far from complete. I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to make it work.

  josh, you’re in the wrong forum and need to be at WordPress.org. We here can’t use that code, but you can. You’ll find help over at WordPress.org.

  Thanks, that makes more sense, I was kind of wondering what was going on :)
