JS Banner Rotate

This plugin uses JavaScript to create a platform-agnostic rotating banner image for your website. Unlike similar Flash implementations, this feature will work even on Flash-disabled web browsers.

Note that you will need to upload your images separately using WordPress’ built-in image gallery feature.
