<p>You could use a <a href="http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/matrix-fields" rel="nofollow">Matrix Field</a>! Each block in your matrix field can be a slide with whatever information you need inside. While your method will work fine, using a matrix will help keep your content organized on a single entry.</p>

I have a page with a slider on it, which includes three rotating slides. In Craft, I am currently setting up each slide as an entry under a "Home Page Content" channel, and then creating an entry field for them on the home page single.

Is that the simplest/correct way to do it? Is there an alternate way that allows me to enter the number of slides and the information for each directly on the home page single?

You could use a [Matrix Field](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/matrix-fields)! Each block in your matrix field can be a slide with whatever information you need inside. While your method will work fine, using a matrix will help keep your content organized on a single entry.
