Whilst I never imagined I would work on an image slideshow plugin for jQuery again, I'm happy to announce the new version of BalfSlider.
BalfSlider follows my naming scheme and is part of my Web Independently Styled Project (WISP), and it follows the same design principles - none. In other words, the host website does some styling for it. It's open to development.
As a result of all of this, BalfSlider is incredibly lightweight - even more so than BalfBar which is hugely small. BalfSlider is designed for flexibility offering many different transition styles (coming soon).
If you want to see a sample, look at my front page.
