  I very much like the carousel- slideshow image widget but I’d also like my viewers to be able to enlarge to images and scroll through them. Is that something I can do?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The Gallery slideshow option, whether in a widget or not, is self-contained. Clicking on an image in the Gallery slideshow will not open a larger image in the Image Carousel. For that to happen, you have to use one of the other Gallery styles instead (Tiles, Square Tiles, Circles.)

  See the last note under “Link to” http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/gallery-widget/#settings

  The short answer is “Not using the slideshow”.

  Thanks Jennifer. Maybe you can help me with this as well. Is there a way to limit the number of tiles shown on my main page? I’d rather not have 40 tiles running down the side of my site. If dreams could come true I’d have one main image, a viewer would hit it and enter the gallery of all the images. Does that make sense? Please excuse my naivety. I’m very new to this. Thank you for your help.
