To get a better idea what I mean by “auto-scroll,” simply look at the home page of this site. You’ll notice the featured articles scroll automatically form one to the next. If you’d like to implement this feature on your site, it’s pretty simple.

First, open your Featured Articles template. To find the Featured Articles template, click the Presentation link on your WordPress control panel, then click Theme Editor. From the list of files on the right, select “Feature Articles on Home Page.”

On the following page, scroll to the bottom, and find this block of code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  var my_glider = new Glider('my-glider', {duration:0.5});
</script>

Change it to this:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  var my_glider = new Glider('my-glider', {duration:0.5, autoGlide:true, frequency:8});
</script>

You can adjust the time period between article rotations by changing the “8″ in the above code.

And that’s it.
