I built a jquery slideshow based on the tutorial found here: http://www.queness.com/post/152/simple-jquery-image-slide-show-with-semi-transparent-caption
It seems to be working perfectly fine, except that it behaves strangley right at the beginning when it displays the first image. The first image appears like normal and then flashes, fades to white and disappears completely. After that, the first slide reappears and behaves normally, transitioning to the next image.
The slideshow in question is center page on the right: http://www.loftist.com/
I am not a JS developer, so I am not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
