Collaborating with an engineering friend of mine and working off a snippet of his original code, we’re developing a jQuery-based plugin that will turn any list with the proper class on it into a slideshow of images that fade gracefully from one to the next.

UPDATE: While developing for this project I came across FlexSlider. This great plugin was written by the crew at WooThemes. It actually does all the things that I wanted including making the slider adapt responsively to the screen size. In lieu of developing redundant software, I’ll be promoting this amazing open source project. Check it out!
