    Hello, Im remaking a horizontal layout website which uses Indexhibit. First I'm doing the ekeneijeoma.com/tumblr page which has only images and videos, but then after im doing ekeneijeoma.com/what which has text, images and videos. In the layout the text, images, and video are put inside "slide" divs which are inside a slider div. In WP I've made a tumblr category and what category for posts. To do the tumblr page created a custom template and styled as much as I could with CSS but using the post divs is good for the tumblr page. In WP the slide divs are post divs with in the container div which is inside content. So I styled the posts using float: left and made the container and content width the width of the window and used overflow: hidden to hide everything offscreen. Anyhow when I have a post that has more than one element as do the project/what category post its going to be difficult create the template. I would have to put every post element (text, image, and video) into a div then put those inside a "slide"/container div of some type. So to do this I may have to use hooks with HTML and JQuery to make the slider effect. So what I am thinking to do is make a plugin / template which puts every post element into a "slide" div and then creates a slider effect. Should I do this using a template or plugin?
