title: Creating Custom Jquery Slider
body: <p>Here is what I have so far: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/6j4cT/3/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/6j4cT/3/</a></p>
  
  <p>Sorry for not pasting the code as there is too much to add into this post.</p>
  
  <p>Firstly the JQuery I have so far is not selecting first LI within the "news-items" and adding the class "active".</p>
  
  <p>Also, if anyone would like to rewrite my code to a cleaner format you are welcome to do so.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks!</p>
