Could be better

I needed to fix a jQuery conflict to even get this working. Next, I searched for a way to put posts in, no dice. Then I went with some wordpress PHP
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1&offset=1');?>
to display posts and put this PHP in the slides for new items 1 2 and 3 – and as per the wordpress norm, it commented my code out. So, after fixing the conflict, it was an ‘anything but the one thing I want to use it for’ slider.
Basically, it’s a ‘anything as long as it’s just html or text’ slider.
