Now let's start!

First thing first, download this amazing image slider here. In this tutorial, I'll be using the version for Flickr.

Second thing, of course you've got Wordpress installed :-)

Part 1, preparing the files

• Extract the desired version (example: flickr) into your Wordpress root folder (or in a another folder, but you need to change some path inside the coding)


• Inside the folder, there is a main html file (example: flickr.html). Rename the file extension to .php (example: flickr.php)


• Insert this at the top line of the file, then save it: <?php /** Template Name: Supersized **/ ?>


• Copy the saved file into wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/templates

Part 2, little modification

• Configure or modify the saved file just now accordingly (read the Supersized documentation)


• Make a link to your blog page (example: <a href="blog/">Enter my blog</a>)

Part 3, create a landing page, blog page and Reading Settings

• Create a new page with title Landing Page, choose the saved file earlier (Supersized) as template (How to choose template) and leave the content empty


• Create another page with title Blog, no template and content require for this


• Go to WP-Admin > Settings > Reading > Front page displays and select the A static page (select below)
  -- Front page: Landing Page
  -- Posts page: Blog


• Save the settings

Well, that's all for basic. Of course I did a lot of modifications in the main html file. You might want to play around with it, enjoy! :-)
