This plugin is beautiful! I am using it on the home page of this site.
Want to easily display images for your posts in a beautiful scrolling carousel, and manage it all within WordPress? Check this out!
See the image to the left? See the left and right arrows spanning the width at about the center of the image? This is the Image Carousel Scroller.
What does it do?
Well, in a nutshell, it allows you to create a dynamic image gallery for your posts. Please be aware that this is not an image gallery where you see a larger version of the selected image (that is another plugin). Instead, this plugin will create a scrollable image gallery of links to your posts.
Here is how I use it.
- First thing I do is grab a screen shot of a theme or plugin page, and save it to my desktop
- Login to WP and Create a New Post
- Fill in all the text boxes, and using the image uploader, upload the new image
- Here is the COOL part. You don’t even need to insert the image into your post, it just has to be the first image uploaded within that post (you can add the image to the post if you wish).
- The plugin is smart enough to check if there is an image assigned and creates the thumbnail and adds it to the gallery on the fly. How slick is that?
Additional Notes:
- completely customizable
- images can be resized, but you need to make a couple of tweaks to the code
- image cropping included and manageable
Why you may want this plugin:
- Big time saver
- Looks like a million bucks
- Cool ajax
