    Hi:
    I am a beginner with html/css skills but no PHP skills.
    I would like to add a custom carousel to my website (http://paulheartfieldphotography.com/home/gallery/). I just want the control icons to be custom icons, and to place them at the top of the page.

    I have seen this:
    http://bxslider.com/examples

    I also started using the Easing Slider plugin (not bad, but customising is limited).

    I wonder if anyone can recommend an editable slider/carousel plugin or method?
    - I also previously posted here to ask how to make my Content area bigger and let the images fill the whole content area - this is will need to be solved before I can add a slider/carousel.

    thank you!

    Hi Victor: sounds good.
    I emailed them and they confirmed I can use it with custom controls. Just checking the positioning of the controls is customisable as well.

    thanks!
