overview

So you want to make a slideshow on your blog. First you'll need content. Your content can come from anywhere. JSON, XML, and HTML are supported. So get that setup and ready to go. Once you have that, put jQuery, jquery.knot.js, and knot.base.css on your page. Add the initialization block and you've got a slideshow. Want to add features? Just change the settings in the init block. Don't like the way it looks? Add some css to your page. Hide stuff you don't like. Change the colors etc. It really is that simple.

quickstart

1. Add the js to your page. http://o.aolcdn.com/os/aol/knot/v2/jquery.knot.min.js
2. Add the base css to your page. http://o.aolcdn.com/os/aol/knot/css/knot.base.css
3. Add configuration and initialization javascript.
