This is my first discussion in this forum. I'm working towards building web development skills and am currently taking Chris's course "WordPress 3: Creating and Editing Custom Themes" on lynda.com.

I'm working on a project in WordPress using a child theme for TwentyEleven that calls for a slider in the header. After installing the AnythingSlider plugin and creating a few slides, I added the following short code to the header.

themes/schulman-sat-child/header.php

<?php if(is_home() || is_front_page()){
    echo do_shortcode( "[anything_slides width=1000 height=389 navFormat=true delay=3000 resume=15000 animation=750 order=ASC orderby=ID theme=minimalist-round]" );
  }
?>

And here is the result:

Development page

I've been trying to find detailed documentation for the plugin but haven't found anything with clear instructions. A lot of the help on git-hub is over my head.

This is the goal for how the slideshow should look:

I'd appreciate any help.
