I continue to show you how to make a Content Gallery in this tutorial. I’ll focus on how to allow for multiple blocks of content in this tutorial and how to set up arrows to cycle through that content.
This tutorial was ment to originally create a WordPress specific Featured Content, but now it will work on any type of site.
If you missed the previous parts check out WordPress Featured Content and all of the other parts that proceed this one.
Here I continue to add a bunch of features to my Featured Content Slider. Along the way I’ll also show you how to do many neat things with JQuery.
I started by focusing on a WordPress Featured Content Plugin, but then decided to make a tool that would work on any website with Featured Content Gallery pt 2.
You should definitely check out those 2 tutorials before you proceed with this video tutorial. All of the code like always follows the video.
In my previous tutorial, I started creating a WordPress Featured Content Plugin. In this tutorial I’ll actually continue with the original goal while at the same time provide you with a Featured Content Gallery you can use anywhere.
Also because I’ve received many questions since I posted my JQuery Video Tutorial I’ll answer many of those here.
It should make for a jam packed tutorial.
Imagine this situation. You just sat down for dinner and your phone rings. It’s a complete stranger and they are asking you to verify who you are and all of your personal information.
They then ask for your checking account, social security and credit card numbers.

I normally spend so much time cranking out tutorials that I never stop to organize things. So, here I will layout a complete Web Design Tutorial.

All of the code I use in the tutorials is also free to use under the GNU license. That basically means you can do anything you like with it as long as you don’t sue me 🙂
In this video tutorial I’ll show you how to make a WordPress Featured Content Plugin. The design is based off of one Phil sent into me.
The featured content plugin will however be designed so simply that anyone should be able to easily style it however they like.
In this part of the tutorial I’ll specifically cover the html and cascading style sheet code that is required.
In the previous 2 WordPress Plugin Tutorials I showed you how to create a great WordPress Plugin template you could use to make your own. Here they are if you missed them : WordPress Plugin Howto and WordPress Plugin Howto Pt 2.
The only two capabilities I left out in those tutorials is how to add shortcode capabilities and an uninstall script. In this tutorial I’ll cover that code.

A Shortcode is a WordPress specific way to add cool functionality with little to no effort. In this tutorial I’ll create a Shortcode function that will automatically jump out to any RSS feed and grab as many articles titles as you want.
So, if you want to display the top five articles on the New York Times website you can just type in the following: [nttfeedme blog_title=”New York Times” feed=”http://feeds.nytimes.com/nyt/rss/HomePage” num=”5″]
