Beautiful Featured Slider With Navigator For Blogger

First of all sorry for late post, still I was busy with final exam, I lost few days for blogging. Today I came up with an beautiful featured slider and I want to share with you. You may have seen many websites with cool content slider. In the past I had posted featured content widget, it was cute widget.

This is an automatic slider with small navigation which is used to navigate next and prev. In this widget there is a specialty that is you don't won't to add image url and link text, it pick out your blog recent post automatically as compared to other slider we have to manually add image url and link text. You just have to add your blog address that's all.

#slides li:hover .overlayx{-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft. Alpha(Opacity=10)";filter:alpha(opacity=10);-khtml-opacity:0.1;-moz-opacity:0.1;opacity:0.1}
#buttons{margin: 5px auto;text-align: center;background:#00BD79;width: 10%;}
#buttons a{display:inline-block;text-indent:-9999px;width:15px;height:25px;position:relative}
#buttons a::before{content:"";width:0;height:0;border-width:8px 7px;border-style:solid;border-color:transparent #535353 transparent transparent;position:absolute;top:50%;margin-top:-8px;margin-left:-10px;left:50%}
#buttons a#nextx::before{border-color:transparent transparent transparent #535353;margin-left:-3px}
@media only screen and (max-width:600px){
  #slides ul{height:600px}
  #slides li:nth-child(1){width:100%;height:49.8%}
  #slides li:nth-child(2){top:50.2%;height:24.8%;left:0;width:49.8%}
  #slides li:nth-child(3){left:50.2%;top:50.2%;width:49.8%;height:24.8%}
  #slides li:nth-child(4){left:0;top:75.3%;height:24.8%;width:100%}
}
</style>
<div id="featuredpost"></div>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://softglad.at.ua/widgets/slider.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function () {
FeaturedPost({
blogURL:"http://softglad.com",
MaxPost:8,
idcontaint:"#featuredpost",
ImageSize:300,
interval:5000,
autoplay:true,
tagName:false
});
});
//]]>
</script>

Now replace the url (highlighted in red) with your blog url and Save It. You can also customize image size, auto play, number of post to display and interval time on the above code.

I'm strongly recommend you to add this widget above your blog post section.

This widget will show in every pages of your blog like post, archive, static, label page. So if you wish to display this widget only in home page then you may have to follow below tips.
1. Goto template page and click edit HTML. Check mark Expand widget template.
2. Find the following piece of code in your blog, Below code is not exactly same in your blog. It will different widget id, here is an just example HTML7

<b:widget id='HTML7' locked='false' title='' type='HTML'>
<b:includable id='main'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl == data:blog.url'>
  <!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->
  <b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'>
    <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>
  </b:if>
  <div class='widget-content'>
    <data:content/>
  </div>

  <b:include name='quickedit'/>
</b:if>
</b:includable>
</b:widget>

You cannot find the third line and last third line code (highlighted in red) but you have to copy paste and add it between your widget in your template.

I hope you like this new widget and if you got any error you can feel free to comment below.
