Most web developers have at least heard about the many JavaScript photo slider plugins. These often utilize a library such as jQuery to construct plug-and-play galleries within just a few minutes. Yet after so many years of project growth we can find dozens of unique examples and animations in this field.
Developers have become creative applying custom techniques with jQuery UI, MooTools, Prototype, and other JS libraries. In the gallery below I’ve put together 25 extremely unique implementations of JavaScript photo sliders on websites. Both the interaction and user interface play a huge role in this type of page element. With any luck you can put together a few ideas to implement a slideshow into your own projects.

I’m sure those of you familiar with Wordpress blogs have seen the many author box designs. Most of the popular web design and social media magazines feature some type of author display box towards the bottom of each post. This features the author name, avatar, and generally a short bio along with profile links.
Wordpress users who are up to date with the latest 3.2.x release can easily implement this feature via custom plugins to extend WP functionality. But I want to explain how you can custom-code your own author box! I feel this method gives you more control over the layout and you can manipulate the HTML/CSS much further than with plugin codes.
