Anyone here do web design?

[Kelemvor]

I'm looking for a Wordpress plug-in or flash thing or whatever that can do an announcement slideshow type thing at the top of my web page. The kind of thing where you have 5 or 6 images that rotate through and each image can have a link associated with it.

I need one that has some sort of controls on it so people can go forward or backward, or one that has mini thumbnails of the slides.

Images with controls sample: (or something with forward/backward buttons)

Thumbnail version sample:

I don't know what these are technically called so I'm having trouble find something. I use Wordpress for the site and our images change every few weeks so something that's easy to configure would be best.

Thanks for any help.

I used to, and all my sites I've coded myself, but it's been so long, I'm very outdated. Now it's all about ajax, javascript, html5 etc and I have not really learned any of those yet. Something I want to pickup at some point though as long of projects I want to do involve making a web interface so I could add more interactivity to it.

Something like an image gallery would be fairly easy to do though. Basically read entries from a DB. You can select a range of items from a DB, so like, 20 items starting at 20, so or 20 items starting at 40 etc (so if you start at 0 it's page 1, if you start at 20 it's page 2 etc)

I can do the slideshow. I already have that. I specifically need something with controls on it so people can manually go forward and backward and whatnot.

That SlideJS thing might work OK. I'll take a look at it.
