Can I just pay someone to build a slideshow gadget for me?
I would like a slideshow on my home page where each image is hyperlinked to a certain page. I looked up the the Nivo slider instructions and it is over my head. It will take me days to figure it out.

Kerrie - Anne I am trying what you recommend below but am having issues. How do I "Reference uploaded files either in settings >> global javascript "?
TIA, Lisa

I think you should do it by yourself not to ask someone to do it because in this way you will save money and also learn something new for the whole remaining life. Thanks

Why not try this one: http://www.woothemes.com/flexslider/
Demo lives here:
http://flexslider.woothemes.com/
All you need to do is
* Download the zip &extract
* upload the supporting files (css and js) to your site
* Reference uploaded files either in settings >> global javascript or in the raw headers metadata for the page you wish to put it on (I recommend going global, then you can have a slider on any page you want easily)
* insert the js from your preferred slider demo in the header of the page you wish the slider to appear (cut & paste)
* Cut & paste the associated html code with that from the demo into a script widget where you want the slide to appear
* Change the image references to your own and insert linksVoila!Relatively easy to implement this one, feel free to PM me if you get stuck - we use this script a lot where I work at my day job and its very quick, easy, flexible and even responsive in mobile devices :-)
