Featured posts sliders are of several types, some are of images type which slides only images of posts while some only slides titles of posts but in this post I will share something awesome which nobody has shared before me.

setInterval(function(){
var rand = Math.floor(Math.random() * ($('.slider').children().length-1));

$('.slider > *').eq(rand).prependTo('.slider').fadeIn();
}, 7000);
});
</script>

Replace Your post link with your post's link Your post's title with your post's title Your post's thumbnail link with your post's image url and Your post description with your post's short description.

Step 8: Click on save and you are done.

Customization:

To change the time duration of sliding posts change the number 7000 highlighted by yellow color in the ending lines of code.

7000 means 7 seconds.

Adding more slides:

I have set up 5 slides in this gadget but if you want to add a new slide just copy the below code and paste it above this piece of code:

<---Area below which new slide code is to be placed---->
<div class="slider">

Code for New slide:

<div><a href="Your post link"><img src="Your post's thumbnail link" /><h3>Your post's title</h3></a><p>Your post description</p></div>

I have added 10 slides so you can add 10 slides without any problem as shown in above example.

Changing Width Of The Slider:

To change width of the slider make changes in width: 615px;

Note: If you are changing width of your slider then you need to change the width of description too.

width: 350px; refers to width of description and width: 350px; refers to width of title.

Make sure to change with of title and description while making any change in width of slider because it may look irregular if you don't do so.
