i would say the easiest way to do this is to use JQuery.

Here are some links to slide shows i got off google:

Link 1 <-- that is pretty cool for banners.

+1 for jQuery.

Its horribly documented but if you spend some time on it you will have great results.

I don't know if you mean rotating image, but you could just create a gif... download easy gif animator, fire it up and click 'New'
This will take you through a wizard where you add your images and set the delays (time each image will show).
When you save the project it will produce a gif image that rotates/changes.

Very very very bad idea to use animated gifs for this.

Gif is limited to 256 colours and the banding on photos is insane not to mention file size. Its just not best practice.

Gifs also give the viewer no control over pictures - say the user wants to pause on a specific picture or browse back, gifs won't be able to do that
