Flash Slideshow On WordPress Theme Header
Every so often I get contacted for WordPress theme customization and the client wants a Flash slideshow somewhere on the site usually the header. I have never incorporated that into a WordPress theme before mainly because I didn’t know how. There is a plugin that that is designed to place a Flash slideshow in a sidebar widget but it can also be used to place it anywhere on the theme. I will warn you that it can be a pain to get everything setup correctly to work on your WordPress header.
The Flashfader Plugin plugin is needed to do this and as I said if you just want to use it in the sidebar there isn’t much to it. But if you want to incorporate Flash into your header then you will need to know a bit about the code on your WordPress theme as well as some graphic editing knowledge. The plugin was brought to my attention by a friend of mine who does graphic design and who I refer people to for custom WordPress and website headers. You can contact Yvonne on her site here: Nightingale Design and check out her blog: Nightingale Design Blog and this one: SheSue Experience to see examples of the Flash WordPress header.

Great resource. There is nowhere that I would need it on my own site, but it is nice to know anyway.
P.S. You can install a plugin called keywordluv that means that people can write “Name@Keywords” in the name field of the comments and it comes out like this.
“Name from Keywords” with keywords being the anchor text.
This is much better then saying “feel free to use your keywords or site name as your name for anchor text”
Flash Slideshow On WordPress Theme Header is great!
The flashfader plugin is a great plugin but I struggled to get it to work properly with the theme i was using.
A great resource and definitely one I will use. Thanks.

I always wanted flash in my website and I think acts as another reminder for me. Thanks!
Finally!
I was waiting for this for a long time! I think this can change the whole website.
I believe that is the plug-in I used for my sister’s blog…It worked great to create a flash slideshow header.
