To have an effect take place on page load, place the script call at the end
of the body, or in a document.ready callback function, such as

// execute this function when the document is ready (DOM is loaded)
$(document).ready(function() {
  // place code here
});

// short-hand for $(document).ready(function() { ... });
$(function() {
  // place code here
});

If you want to wait not only for the document, but also any images, handle
the window onload event:

$(window).load(function() {
  // place code here
});

Other than that, just supply the name of the effect to show, options (if
any), and a duration. For example, if you want to show with a bounce effect,
with default options, over 2 seconds, that would be

$('#myElementId').show('bounce', {}, 2000);
