Header Slideshow WordPress Plugin
Many websites implement a slideshow of images implemented in Flash. The header-slideshow plugin uses HTML and JavaScript to achieve the same effect.
The plugin is easily installed and configured to user requirements, through the modification of the example xml file included in the package, and in the Header Slideshow page under Settings in the Admin area of WordPress.
The XML file contains relative file paths for the images that the slideshow will display and also defines their order.
