Adding Slider to a list of posts

Hello all.

Im in a bit of a pickle about something. I hope you can help me ??

What im trying to do is implement a nice little post slider to my website, exactly the same as this: https://builtbybuffalo.com/project/view/trendy-golf/date/desc ( click on the next button to see the effect )

Im using jquery cycle with the “slide” effect and was wondering how you would go about setting this up so that i can link through to something similar from, say, featured posts on my home page.

so the logic would be:

user arrives on home page – user clicks through on featured post – user is directed to the featured post ( with other featured posts pre – loaded and ready to slide in when the user clicks “next post”)

The main problem i have is how to make the slider begin on the correct post!

Any thoughts or advise would be HUGELY appreciated. ? – ?

,,,,i think this would make a nice plugin at some point ??

thanks for your time,

Mogito
