<p>WordCycle is a WordPress plugin that acts as a wrapper for the popular <a href="http://malsup.com/jquery/cycle/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery Cycle Plugin</a> by Mike Alsup. Use the [slideshow] shortcode to insert a jQuery Cycle slideshow into your WordPress post or page.</p>
<p>No JavaScript necessary! Customize the slideshow using the shortcode options and by modifying your theme’s stylesheet.  The plugin also adds a custom template tag wordcycle_slideshow().</p>
<p>WordCycle is developed by <a href="http://blog.estherswhite.net" rel="nofollow ugc">Esther S White</a></p>
<h3>Usage and Examples</h3>
<p>Uploaded images are called attachments in the WordPresss database. If WordCycle is installed, you can use the [slideshow] shortcode to create a slideshow of all the attachments associated with a post. You can also use the custom template tag wordcycle_slideshow()  in your WordPress template files.</p>
<p>The slideshow advances automatically and is minimally styled. The slideshow uses the Link, Title, and Caption attributes of the WordPress Image Uploader/Gallery, as well as the gallery sorting options.</p>
<p>To add the slideshow to a post, insert this code:  [slideshow]</p>
<p>More examples available on the plugin website.</p>
