 * This plugin is a resource hog. Rather than embed nicely in to a page, it bullies
   it’s way in and takes over. The sliding animation works fine, however the fact
   that it can’t be embedded in to a page or post makes this plugin fairly useless
   in my opinion. The whole purpose of scrolling through the posts is to hopefully
   interest your readers in to checking out something that they may have overlooked–
   with this plugin a reader has to actively seek out the slideshow page in order
   to see thumbnails of articles scrill by. I really don’t see that as being practical.
   Also, I doubt many people will click past the screen resolution page. I would
   prefer to pre-select the resolution, and have the slider embed through the use
   of a shortcode.

 * Sorry for the miss-communication, but this plugin was designed to display posts
   on a TV screen. We are currently using this plugin very successfully to display
   WordPress managed real estate listings in a local cafe. It was never my intention
   for users to browse the page and click on the resolutions, that’s for the admin
   to do. We run our plugin in Chrome on a small netbook attached to an LCD, and
   it works great.
 * I really like managed a kiosk display from a website. It allows you to very easily
   update the content remotely.
 * I should probably make the plugins purpose much clearer.
 * Thanks for your comments.
