 * I would like to populate the slider with general posts and add a custom image
   field that is used for the background. What is the best way to go about doing
   that?

 * You can use the shortcode attributes to tell the promotion slider to pull from
   posts instead of promotions, like this:
 * `[promoslider post_type="post"]`
 * You can then activate the display of the title and excerpt, or use the ‘promoslider_content’
   filter to customize the content that appears on each panel.
 * The featured images are what get pulled into the slider and you can use css to
   lay things out the way you want.
