New Post: Create a Slide Show in SharePoint 2013 using an Announcements List and SPServices

I am using SharePoint 2013 with the following scripts stored in a doc library:

• jquery-1.10.2.min.js
• jquery.SPServices-2013.02.js
• jshowoff.min.js
  Added a Script Editor WP, and made reference to these above. Do I need to add the Announcements list (AL) to the page too? Right now, with/without AL I do not get it to work.: I do not get any errors, but it does not display anything either...
  I tested & the script is loading though… Please any help is highly appreciated! Thank you!
