Thanks Anne. I ended up causing a huge mess re-building the site several times only to find out that things worked fine (your template) until I restored my database, then the slide show quit working. On the final try, I restored the database, leaving out the "configuration" line (I saved a copy of my database without that particular entry), and your template slide show kept working!
Now my problem is when I go into the admin section, drop down to the configuration of this template, it's completely blank. However, when I look at the database, the entries are in there. It's like when I installed the template, the database took it, but the admin-configure-westminister new template configuration won't show it.
So the slide show is working, but I can't shut it off. Any ideas how to get the config stuff to show? Thanks.
