<!-- Include Dependency Script -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/flexslider/2.6.0/jquery.flexslider-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://shuvojitdas.com/script/jquery.bdslider.min.js"></script>

Note: If you had already added jQuery .js into your blogs template then don't add it again as sometimes multiple jQuery ruins everything. Here jQuery script tag is located at the very first of this code block above.

STEP - 5: So now the slider engine scripts are installed, you are ready to add slider(s) anywhere in your blog including gadget, post or page. Well, just copy the code below and paste in a HTML Gadget or Post or Page

<div id="slider1"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#slider1").BloggerDynamicSlider({
        imageWidth: 636, // Image width in px value
        imageHeight: 398, // Image height in px value
        maxItem: 6, // Max number of Slider Image to show
        animation: "slide", // Select your animation type, "fade" or "slide"
        showPostTitle: true, // Show post title as Caption ? (true/false)
        postTitleStyle: "overlayLight", // Caption style: "default, "overlayDark" or "overlayLight"
    });
});
</script>

STEP - 6: Save & Done! Pretty Simple & Dynamic.

All the options of 'Blogger Dynamic Slider'

$("#slider1").BloggerDynamicSlider({
    blogURL: "", // Your Blog URL. example: "http://imagesliderforblogger.blogspot.com"; Only need to specify when fetching slider content from another blog
    labelName: "", // Show posts from specific Label. Specify a 'Label', or leave it empty to fetch from all recent posts
    maxItem: 6, // Max number of Slider Posts to show
    showPostTitle: true, // Show post title as Caption ? (true/false)
    postTitleStyle: "default", // Select post title/caption style "default, "overlayDark" or "overlayLight"
    imageWidth: 544, // Image width in px value
    imageHeight: 280, // Image height in px value
    animation: "fade", // Select your animation type, "fade" or "slide"
    controlNav: true, // Navigation for paging control of each slide? (true/false)
    directionNav: true, // Previous/next navigation? (true/false)
    pauseOnHover: false, // Pause slideshow when hovering over slider, then resume when no longer hovering (true/false)
    slideshowSpeed: 7000, // Set the speed of the slideshow cycling, in milliseconds
    animationSpeed: 600, // Set the speed of animations, in milliseconds
    animationLoop: true, // Should the animation loop? (true/false)
});

Thank you all
