title: JQuery ResponsiveSlides Image Slider
body: <p>Okay so I'm tring to implement a responsive slides element in to my page. However, nothing I seem to do works. First I noticed that in order for the css code to be applied it had to be accessed using ul.name. Now for some reason, the .js file doesn't seem to work at all because none of the images show? The alt name field show and transitions with the names work but there are no images. Any help is appreciated!</p>
