CUSTOMIZATIONS

- (In code of Step 3) numbers in red are width and height of the main slider while the number in green is the sliding speed.

- In this content slider everything resides in the widget's div tags.
(In code of Step 4) Just replace "IMAGE-TITLE", "TITLE-OF-THE-SLIDE", "TEXT-OF-THE-SLIDE" with your image, title and text respectively.

You can increase the number of slides according to your need and available space.

- If you increase the number of slides, then don't forget to increase "jFlowControl" numbering.
For example if you add another (fourth) slide then you have to add 4 in order to show number "4" on the main widget.

So if you have like 15 slides, then make sure you have 15 (upto 15).

- (In code of Step 3) Links given in blue are links to 2 JavaScripts that this slider requires. If you have your own server you should download the scripts and upload them on your server for speedy loading.
