Want your blog to be more eye-catching? Get things moving with a sleek post slider.
Interesting read. will definitely keep this in mind in the future.
I haven’t tried sliders, although after this demonstration I’d be hard-pressed not to. I’m looking forward to seeing what the results are once I do implement this element in my blog. Thanks for this, I appreciate the awesome write-up about it!
I find sliders distracting, especially when there’s good content that I want to read. Then out of the corner of my eye I keep seeing lots of movement. Yes, it’s eye catching, but great content with a title that hits my “hot buttons” keeps my attention.
Jumping up and down gets peoples attention…for a moment. Giving them great ideas keeps their attention and gets them to come back.
Whenever I access a blog with a slider, I’m confused as to which is the newest post. imo, that’s what has kept me from using one on my own blog.
great material. I agree with a lot of your points. It really made me think.
Awesome!!
I’ve used this before…thanks for the reminder.
Thank you for the reminder about this wonderful marketing tool! I am looking into integrating in this weekend. Hope it’s seamless to apply.
Yes. This is exactly why some people consider sliders to be more distracting than useful. Ultimately, it’s up to the individual whether a slider is appropriate or not.
Great idea will have to look into this. Always liked the idea of a slider.
Gonna try this now!
I would only use a slider if I were able to control the period of each image, Dennis. To me, they’re all too fast. Could be my amazingly advanced years, of course …
Yes, the sliders that are automated will allow you to control the animation (or let your readers control it). The examples (on here and on the Daily Post) aren’t actually sliders, as it’s impossible to put a slider in the middle of a post. They’re animated gifs that I put together to show you what they look like when you scroll through them.
