First off I don't even know the actual name for this type of feature so I went ahead and called it a News Ticker lol.
Anyway, I was browsing a site, scrolled down to the "Magazine" section and noticed the left div has links inside with a Title and description. Underneath the div are arrows that point up and down, which scrolls for more of those links...
I was fascinated with it, so I asked a fellow friend if he could recognize the plugin the designer used and he mentioned the Cycle.js plugin.
The examples don't give instructions on how to set everything up, so I basically wanted help on how to set up the HTML, CSS, &JS in order to get a similar slider as the one on Exponaute...
no offense, just some friendly advice. based on looking at your markup it seems you should probably get the basics down before confusing yourself with jquery plugins.

I'd really appreciate the help!
Checkout the final example on this page: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/int2.html
btw a ticker would be more like this: http://bxslider.com/examples/ticker
The effect you're going for is more likely called a content slider.
@dfogge Thanks but I am still confused...
@dfogge I wanted to figure out the title of it as well, so thanks again! :)
Anyone kind enough to help me get this started?
here's the beginner tutorial: http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/begin.html
create a codepen, and let us know if you have any specific questions.
@dfogge This is a horrible fiddle, but it's the best I can do so far.
