  Is there a way to add multiple galleries to a single post or page?

  Thanks!

  You will need to attach all of the images to the post or page, and then use shortcodes to designate which images you want included in each gallery. http://support.wordpress.com/images/gallery/#gallery-shortcode

  It will probably be easiest to use the “include” and “exclude” shortcodes to do that.

  Thanks for the response! I tried the “include” shortcode but could not find my attachment ID despite hovering my mouse over the image title. I am using the latest version of Firefox.

  The include option will only work for a image IDs which are attached to the current post or page where you are editing.

  If you would like to put multiple galleries on a post or page, you should use the id option like this:

  [gallery id="1234"]
