Create a beautiful slideshow with an optional vertical scroller and fully customizable caption. After you've specified what images and caption you want in your slideshow and how you want it displayed, just add [poros_show] to any page/post and it will be displayed there.
I've recently made many updates to this plugin to enhance usability and make it even more consistent with whatever theme you're using. I'm working on updates that will be ready in the near future (multiple transition types, unlimited slides and multiple shows per site to start) but have not yet received any donations or feedback. If you like this plugin, please comment, rate or donate. I would hate to have to move this to a pay only site.

Use the Slide Settings page to enhance the usability of your slide to whatever suits your site best.
Use the Caption Options page to specify captions that will be compatible with your theme.

What is the best way to resize my images?
Using whatever software you are comfortable with. If you don’t have a preferred method yet, chances are uploading the image to wordpress, clicking edit, and choosing ‘scale’ to resize is the best/most convenient method for you.
The scroller on the right has images that don’t fit the show! What do I do?
Make sure your thumbnails are EXACTLY 1/3 the size of the slides if you use the vertical scroller. The only way to do this is to ensure the slide has a height divisible by three. This functionality ensures you can resize your images to whatever quality you desire without me doing it straight in the html, which renders very poorly in some cases. The vertical scroller is optional.
