How to get the nivo slider to show excerpt

  • I’m trying to embed the nivo slider into a wordpress theme so each slide shows a set of recent image pots and excerpt. At this moment I can get it to show the images but not the post excerpt.

    <div id="slides">
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('showposts=5&category_name=featured'); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'nivoimage', true); ?>" alt="" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
</a>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<div class="clear">

    Ideally I’d like the excerpt to wrapped in a div so I can style it in css. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks,
