Q, you just need to think outside the box a little bit.  The thing to
remember is that Cycle will treat each immediate child element of the
container as a slide.  A slide can be whatever you want  (img, div, p, etc)
and can contain whatever you need.  For example:

<div id="slideshow">
    <div>
        <img src="image1.jpg"/>
        <a href="/whatever">Whatever</a>
        <div>blah blah blah</div>
    </div>
    <div>
        <img src="image1.jpg"/>
        <a href="/whatever">Whatever</a>
        <div>blah blah blah</div>
    </div>
</div>

The markup above  would drive a two-slide slideshow.  You then just need to
apply the appropriate CSS to the container and slides to make your markup
bow to your will.
