   Hi,

   I need to make a content box which includes text, links and several images that show as a slide show.

   Any suggestions!

   The blog I need help with is prylynx.wordpress.com.

   Can you explain a little further what you mean about a "content box" and where you want to use it?

   No problem!

   RIM's website has an idea of what i am talking about:
   http://www.rim.com/

   I need to create two separate "boxes" which include images and text/links within. People can click inside these boxes at the links.

   Thanks for writing!!

   That isn't something that can be done with CSS. My suggestion would be to find a theme that has a post slider at the top and then you create posts and add them to the slider by making them sticky posts and creating and assigning a featured image to the posts.

   You can use the feature filter at http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ to find themes that have a post slider.

   You know, there is sort of a "backyard" workaround. You would create a post with the info and image you need and then set that post as a sticky post which would put it at the top of your main content column. You can then create specific selectors to target that particular post by ID# and then style that post as you desired.

   Here is a direct link to the list of themes that have built in post sliders:

   The Oxygen theme might be a really good fit for you:
