How do they do this?

    http://tipstorelievestress.com There's a slide show or something in the main frame (Featured Content) Is this pulled from another source or do you have to custom make it? If so, how?

    Thanks

    The words "Featured Content" at the top makes me think it's pulled from some service, I've seen several websites like that with it's own unique content and the same "Featured Content" at the top. It could be done with iframes, but if I would have to make the content I'd have to have a script or something to rotate the adds and text. Well I guess it could be a plugin, it's on a wordpress site, but I swore I saw one on an HTML site.

    Thanks

    they are using javascript or most likely jquery to create the slide effect. just search for jquery jflow and you can create your own slideshow.

    http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/showcase/sliding-transition/

    It's jondesign's smoothgallery.
    The link I have provided is for 'sliding transition' as I prefer it over the fade-out transition.
    You can download the files directly from his website.

    The title, description and images are specified in html.
    It uses mootools...js! :)

    Smoothgallery is awesome but it is annoying to pull posts from blog entries to the slide show. You have to do everything manually. If you use wordpress, you may consider this theme. It's free.
