I am trying to make my theme look very similar to Apple.com's site. What I want to do is put a slideshow right below the navigation that will display a picture relating to the 5 most recent posts. The picture will be 970x350. I am new to wordpress coding and have no idea how to accomplish this. So far I have this code inserted right below the end of the header div:
<?php
if ('http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == get_option('home').'/') {
print '
<div id="slide-show">
<img src="" width="970px" height="350px" >
<img src="" width="970px" height="350px" >
<img src="" width="970px" height="350px" >
<img src="" width="970px" height="350px" >
</div>
<div id="slide-show-nav">
</div>';
}
?>
The first part is just to make sure that it only displays on the Home page. Any help would be much appreciated.
