One of the more common ways of displaying content is through the use of what is known as a **content slider**. Even if the name doesn't ring a bell, I'm sure you've seen them around. Anyway, what a content slider does is pretty simple. It allows you to display a portion of some large content without taking up a lot of space. To see the rest of the content, you slide to the location of your new content by interacting with some UI element the content slider defines.
