Slideshow for the homepage. Views Slideshow or another Module? I would like to have a slideshow with pagination on my homepage. Should I use Views Slideshow or is there another Module which is flexible and will give me the ability to add a slideshow block?
IMHO, adding a module for this is overkill. I prefer to create a view, add the jQuery Cycle plugin to my theme and apply the plugin to the view using just a few lines of javascript.
