Top 5 Featured Post Plugins

March 24, 2009 by Paul Spoerry 2 Comments

Wordpress Featured Post

With blogs becoming more and more user-friendly everyday, the need for a “Featured Post” display became a necessity. Say, for example, you begin a free giveaway on your blog on Monday. By Friday, if you had posted everyday during the week, that giveaway post from Monday may be on page 2, never to be seen again. This is where a “Featured Post” display comes in most handy. It appears that the use of jQuery to implement a very eye-appealing animated “Featured Post” display is becoming more and more in demand in the world of WordPress themes. Here are some of the most popular javascript plugins to get the job done:

  1. s3Slider – One of the most common types of “Featured Post” displays (and the one I use).
  2. JSGallery – Maybe you want no words and only the post thumbnail images to display.
  3. Agile Carousel – Another powerful jQuery slideshow-like plugin.
  4. jCarousel Lite – Very lightweight javascript carousel plugin.
