Portfolio Carousel
A sliding carousel of portfolio items, in a standard image style or a descriptive style with an excerpt.
Portfolio Carousel slides through your portfolio items a few at a time, in a plain image style or a "descriptive" style that adds an excerpt and date.
Make sure Custom Post Type: Portfolio is on in HighendHighend OptionsHighend Modules (see Modules). When it's off, this element still appears under Add Element, but renders nothing on the front end.
