I really like the slider ting at the top of
http://fixmysite.us/gmpc/bob/index.html
and am trying to duplicate it,
http://fixmysite.us/gmpc/wordpress
but it doesnt appear to be working,. did I miss something?
On the WordPress page you have the jQuery library included twice—once in the head and once near the bottom of the page. That often causes problems. Don’t add in a link to the library every time you include a script. 
made a few modifications, so here it is

(just to see if there was a conflict, I placed link to other js libraries as wordpress does and there seems to be none)
But if I try to do it in my wordpress site, it doesn’t seem to work

Why?
