Uncaught TypeError with jQuery and Wordpress?

Question

I am having trouble on my wordpress site, my nivo slider will not load the banner images and display them.

I\'m pretty sure its to do with jquery been loaded somewhere

The dollar sign is not an alias for jQuery on your page. Wrap the code block starting at line 467 in jquery.nivo.slider.js with a jQuery ready function setting the '$' as an alias within the function block, like this:

jQuery(function($) {
    $(window).load(function() {
        $('#sliderNivo').nivoSlider({
                effect:$nivo_slider_effect,
                slices:15,
                animSpeed:500,
                pauseTime:$nivo_slider_speed,
                keyboardNav:false, 
                pauseOnHover:true
        });
    });
});
