#Simple Slides

Simple Slides takes list elements and turns them into slide shows. Support right now is basic, but easy.

#Get Started

First, make a list element with each list item being a slide:

<ul class="slideshow">
	<li>
		<img src="http://myface.jpg.to" />
	</li>
	<li>
		<img src="http://yourface.jpg.to" />
	</li>
</ul>

Second, require jQuery and Simple Slides in that order.

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPTS/jquery.boilerplate.js"></script>
</body>

Third, add Font Awesome and the Simple Slides CSS to your HTML.

<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="PATH_TO_YOUR_STYLES/simple-slides.css">
</head>

And finally, invoke the plugin:

<script>
$(function(){
	$('ul.slideshow').simpleSlides()
});
</script>

Et voilà, you have a slideshow with controls, a slide counter, and responsive behavior. If you need to adjust the CSS for your site, consider the following:

##Options

Right now simpleSlides has two options, the controlsClass, and the slideCLass. The controlsClass is applied to the appended list item that contains the controls. Users can change this to override the style or hook in to events.

The slideClass is given to each slide in the slideshow, to give them style and to avoid confusion with the controls container. If you change it, avoid using "active" as a classname, as that is used internally to denote the current slide.

##TODO

Add a way to customize the controls element. Remove dependency on FontAwesome.
