I\'ve never used jQuery before, and I would like to ask how to do something that may seem simple to you people. I\'ve looked around but couldn\'t find an answer.

Here is one way to do it (jsfiddle demo):

function nextMsg() {
    if (messages.length == 0) {
        // once there is no more message, do whatever you want
        alert("redirecting");
    } else {
        // change content of message, fade in, wait, fade out and continue with next message
        $('#message').html(messages.pop()).fadeIn(500).delay(1000).fadeOut(500, nextMsg);
    }
};
// list of messages to display
var messages = [
    "Hello!",
    "This is a website!",
    "You are now going to be redirected.",
    "Are you ready?",
    "You're now being redirected..."
].reverse();

// initially hide the message
$('#message').hide();

// start animation
nextMsg();

with a little bit modification, you should be able to customize the interval for each message.
