jcycleblock is a block module which creates a block that presents content 
in a slide show using the jQuery Cycle plugin and the jQuery easing plugin. 

You can select images as the content of the slideshow by specifying a folder 
that contains the image files or select a content type to use the teaser of the 
nodes of this content type as the content of the slideshow. 

The module does not attempt to size, scale, crop, or otherwise alter images. 
It will be displayed exactly as it exists. You can use CSS and/or HTML to have 
the browser scale the images if necessary. The best option is to size the images 
before you use them in jcycleblock.

The module uses the teaser of content types and doesn't show extra links if a 
content type is choosen for as the content of the slideshow.

Several effects and other setting can be set in the configuration settings of 
the block.
