How do you like our new slider?

Hey friends!

As you can see, we just put in a new slider. Each week, it's going to highlight some of our favorite posts. I'm hoping it'll also make the front page a little more vibrant and exciting. :)

Let me know what you think. Does it load ok on your computer? Is it slowing down the site? How do you like it?

I love it! I think it adds something nice to the front page. It works on Firefox on my computer and on my Droid too!

Cool! Can it have a pause function, maybe just by mousing over the main slide showing, or hovering over the "tab" at the bottom? I read pretty fast, and even so it kept advancing before I could get through a few of the descriptions at the top.

Smooth effect, no slowdown here at all - Chrome 5.0.375.99 on Mac 10.6.4

This version doesn't have a pause function but what I can do is slow down the slider to 7 or 8 seconds (right now the photos change every 5 sec). Would that help?

Thanks for the feedback, btw...

Thanks, Amy. We're going to try and change it up every day or every other day so the site feels fresh. I know, as people, we all have a natural resistance to change so it's good that to hear that you all actually like it...
