How To Customize the Slider?

Of course its fun to customize it first using MBT HTML Editor :)
Replace URL Of Image with image link and Description Goes Here with any stuff that you may write. If you want to show no caption/description then simply delete title="Description Goes Here"
If you wish to add effects to text or use a link then use title="#htmlcaption"  instead and then add your description as I have done after <div id="htmlcaption" class="nivo-html-caption"> . If you are finding this part difficult then let me know to which image do you want to add the effect. I will provide you with the code required.
Note:  Please Note that you will need to use Images with equal sizes. The default size of all images used in this tutorial is 618 x 270. To learn how to adjust image sizes using Photoshop read this tutorial. Photoshop Image Editing Basics For bloggers

How To add More Images?

To add another image simply paste the code below just above </div>

<img src="URL Of Image" alt="" title="Description Goes Here" />

That’s it! Enjoy :)
