    Hello fellow designers,

    As a newcomer to the business, I find myself faced with two obstacles.

    My site: www.hitechgadgetspro.com
    My CMS: Wordpress 2.7

    Obstacle #1)

    Slide show trouble:

    I am trying to incorporate a "slide show" feature on my home page (currently the large black shape). It should scroll up when a category is clicked on nav-bar. [jQuery] However, once page is loaded, it comes up again because it is in the template file "index.php". My problem with that is that I want the slide show ONLY on the home page.
    - Please help me by telling me a way to have the slide show snippet only show up on the home page

    Obstacle #2)

    Thumbnail Dilemma:

    I am also trying to post thumbnails next to each post excerpt, but I am having difficulty creating a system for that. I want to use a custom field, and then have it shown in my loop.

    - I'm not sure how to create a custom field in WP2.7 , and I don't the php code I have to put in the loop for it to show up.

    Help will be greatly appreciated,

    The Gadgetpro

    PS: any comments on the site layout/design ?
    PPS: I know I posted this in CMS, but I'm not sure of the category.
