When you move the mouse out of the RadRotator when in SlideShow mode, it advances to the next slide (regardless of whether or not the designated time has elapsed). You can see this in the online example if you set the mode to SlideShow and move the mouse back and forth over the rotator.

What makes this issue more problematic, however, is that it seems to do the same thing when you mouseover divs, spans, or links nested inside of an item. When I attempt to use this with an rss feed and the user moves the mouse over the current item, the rotator initially suspends rotation (good), but as soon as the user moves the mouse to the link for the item or comments, etc., the rotator advances to the next item (bad).

Does anyone have any solutions for this issue? As it is, I don't think I could put the rotator in production, at least not in SlideShow mode.

Thank you, Sophy. For what it's worth, I've noticed that the control also exhibits that behavior when using a RadRotator with the AutomaticAdvance RotatorType nested within another of the same, but that may be a more exotic scenario.

What I attempted to do was to create a rotator with two items. The first item would list the titles of some recent blog posts. The second item would contain another rotator that would flip through (at a different interval) each of the blog posts, displaying the title the first few lines of of the blog post.

This second scenario may just be a little too ambitious for now, so I'll be sticking with the AutomaticAdvance in a simpler scenario with just a single rotator. That should work well enough.
