= Why is my slider not working? =
Check for javascript errors in your page. This is the most common cause of the slider not running.
`cycle not a function` error - most probably you have double jquery (jquery.js) included from improperly coded plugins. Remove the duplicate jquery or deactivate the plugin causing the double jquery include.

= Why is there is an extra slide that I didn't add? = 
Most probably its wordpress adding paragpraphs on line breaks next to the slides therefore adding a blank `<p>` slide. You can try adding this to functions.php:
`remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');`
