@Jenna if you want a rotating banner image using jQuery check out a really simple one on Jonathan Snooks site. This will create a flash like fade in/fade out effect.

Thanks Jenna, You could do this with custom posts. You would just need to display all 3 posts on the page then use a little css and jQuery to rotate them. There’s probably already a WordPress plugin for this so it might be worth taking a look at the plugins section on the website.

Great post! Is there anyway to have let’s say 3 banners on a page and have all three of them rotate?
