Happy almost Thanksgiving!
This week I have WordPress, freelancing, bike lanes, Facebook and more.

How to Randomize the Images with the WordPress WP-Cycle Slideshow Plugin
Earlier this week I reviewed the WP-Cycle plugin, which is an easy to use image slideshow plugin.
One feature that it doesn’t have is a random display of the images. The images are displayed in the upload order. This isn’t such a big deal, if you know this in advance, but I didn’t know a client wanted them displayed randomly until after I had uploaded 30+ images and I didn’t want to delete them and start over.
If you want the the images displayed randomly, you will need to edit the plugin file.
WordPress Image Slideshow Plugin: WP-Cycle
WP-Cycle is a WordPress image slideshow plugin that uses jQuery. It can link to any post, page or a URL outside of the site. It can be set to any size and has a number of other useful settings. I’ve used this plugin on a number of sites and really like it for it’s ease of use. It does, however, have the limitation of single use and all images added in the settings have to be used.

Happy mid-November as we slide toward Thanksgiving in the US. Anyone else totally annoyed with the holiday music in the shops? I wish they would wait until after Thanksgiving – I’m pretty sure that was what it was like when I was a kid.
This week I have punctuality, facebook, smiles, phone books and more.

The short answer is in order to add content to a custom tab created with FBML, you have to use HTML. If you don’t know any HTML, there isn’t much you can do with the tab.
