In the next day or two, we will finish wrapping up the most useful jQuery pluins from 2011. If we’ve missed one of your favorites, be sure to share it with us!
Last week, we took a look at the best of Form & Validation and Responsive Layouts, and now, here are plenty of the most useful 2011 jQuery plugin sliders, galleries and carousels you can choose from:
jQuery Slider Shock
jQuery Slider Shock comes in two different flavors and a sweet selection of license options. You can get this in a nicely packaged WordPress plugin or nab the pure jQuery version. Either way, you’ll be rockin’ a seriously robust jQuery slider, as jQuery Slider Shock has a pile load of styling options–and it’s responsive!
Slidorion
Slidorion is a little bit of an image slider and an accordion. It display images along side a variable length description. Images are linked to each tab and there are plenty of effect options.
bxSlider
A simple HTML content slider and image slideshow.
Diapo
A free, open source jQuery slideshow plugin project?
Yes, please.
Craftyslide
Weighing in at just 2kb, this slideshow’s simple approach is clean and efficient.
Minimit
Minimit Gallery is a highly customizable Jquery plugin that does galleries, slideshows, carousels, slides – practically everything that has multiple states.
Galleria
This image gallery framework is built on top of the jQuery library and is designed to makee creating professional image galleries easy.
jQuery Image Gallery
Nothing fancy (just like the name).
rlightbox
rlightbox is a jQuery UI mediabox that can display many types of content such as images, YouTube and Vimeo videos. It has many unique features like Panorama and Live Re-size. Like other jQuery UI widgets, it is ThemeRoller ready.
Circular Content Carousel
This plugin is a circular content carousel. You’ll have some content boxes that can slide infinitely (circular). When clicking on the “more” link, the respective item moves to the left and a content area will slide out. Now you can navigate through the carousel where each step will reveal the next or previous content box with its expanded content. Clicking on the closing cross will slide the expanded content area back in and animate the item to its original position.
HTML5 Music Player
This HTML5 music player is also supported by IE7 & IE8. It also looks really hawt.
Check out Modal Window and Mobile plugins!

I really love the Circular Content Carousel… do you know if that would be possible to implement with Standard Theme?
Eric Dye says
Yes.

Would you be willing/able to teach me?! =D
Eric Dye says
Maybe. But it would cost you. 🙂
Dustin W. Stout says
Okay– how many ChurchMag posts would I have to write?
Eric Dye says
Is 50 too many? — LOL!
Dustin W. Stout says
Not for that kind of valuable info! I’ll get to writing ASAP! It’s not like I can sleep anyways with a newborn around. Haha!
