    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone knows a way to slowdown the "Featured Post" Slider located at the top of my blog. It seems to be cycling the post way to quick for my liking. Any help or point of reference would help thank you!

    I don't know that theme, but generally it will be in a javascript file located in your theme files, normally in a folder named "js". To open those files, via FTP, you need to rename the files with a ".txt" extension.

    You have to hunt down which of them controls the scroller...in one of my themes it's "effects..js", or "glider.js". After that it's just a matter of adjusting the number that controls the time in between scrolls.
    The higher the number, the slower the scroll...ie: 3200 is slower than 1500.

    Make sure you keep a back up of the original file to replace it if you don't get it right or screw something up.

    LOL! I know how you feel, the first time I had to do it I had to think about it for a couple of days to make sure I really wanted to go into those files:).

    Sometimes it's laid out pretty simple and you can see it right away, if not, just take a step back and if you aren't sure, come back to it.

    If I had to venture to guess you just have to edit this wp-content/themes/gandhi/scripts/js/easySlider1.5.js

    download it, edit it, upload it.... its a piece of cake.

    hope that helps,
    Nigel
