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.
