3. Real HTML

Now, place the below example HTML to anywhere in your template code that you want to display the image slider (can insert into HTML/javascript widget also). Of course, please mind changing all image src, titles, captions and links in the example HTML code:
<div class="slider-wrapper">
    <div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">
        <img src="yourimage1.jpg" alt="" />
        <a href="yourlink2.com"><img src="yourimage2.jpg" alt="" title="#htmlcaption" /></a>
        <img src="yourimage3.jpg" alt="" title="Example or raw caption for image 3" />
        <img src="yourimage4.jpg" alt="" />
        <!-- add other images if you like -->
    </div>
</div>
<div id="htmlcaption" class="nivo-html-caption">
    <strong>This</strong> is an example of a <em>HTML</em> caption with <a href="#">a link</a>.
</div>
<!-- add other image HTML caption -->

If you want to use HTML caption, you must input the title for image is "#my-html-caption-id". This image caption will be the content of any div tag with id "my-html-caption-id" (please check the example with div di "htmlcaption").
