Let’s Get Started

Isn’t it an annoyance viewing a rotating carousel of a homepage that won’t stop rotating? You’re in the middle of reading some ad or introduction to a feature article, about to click the Read More button and it changes. Then you have to navigate back if there is navigation or wait until it cycles around again.
A best practice of mine is to always put a pause command on the animation AND its navigation on a mouse over. This allows the user to stop, take a moment, read and evaluate the content for as long as it takes without feeling rushed. Especially with more visually presented content that may require a bit more time to digest, this practice is particularly important.

Using JQuery, this pause is very easy to accomplish.
