<p>The Image Flicker plugin allows you to embed a changing image anywhere in your site.  Rotate through a different banner advertisment every ten seconds, for example, or maybe have a little box in your sidebar that flicks through a selection of your best photographs.  The speed at which the images flick is adjustable, as is the number of images.  Each image can be linked to anywhere, and/or given a description which will appear with each image as it is flicked through.</p>
<p>Image display is determined by you: just change the style properties for the element <code>#image_flicker</code> in your stylesheet.</p>


Image Flicker

Display a mini-slideshow anywhere on your site.  Good for banner advertisments or a looping display of your favorite photographs in the sidebar, etc.
