I have added 10 slides so you can add 10 slides without any problem as shown in above example.
Changing Width Of The Slider:
To change width of the slider make changes in width: 615px;
Note: If you are changing width of your slider then you need to change the width of description too.
width: 350px; refers to width of description and width: 350px; refers to width of title.
Make sure to change with of title and description while making any change in width of slider because it may look irregular if you don't do so.
