Smashing Magazine Delivers!

Here are some great scripts, widgets and CSS created slide shows, gallery presentations and image display tools. Most of these, if not all, require you to be a code warrior (well, not really, but you do have to have access to your page code) and require some basic knowledge of scripting, CSS and DHTML. That said, most of you can read the tutorials and build some cool little dynamic shows on your sites with these.

Of course, if you had a totally self-managed website that allowed you to add scripts, modify your CSS, add pages and control the meta content, this sort of thing would be easy... if you had one of those kind of sites. (More to follow on this... but just think about it.)
