Gallery Information
-
I’ve read everything that search turned up on ‘Gallery’ but still cannot find my answer. Can anyone tell me exactly what a ‘gallery’ is and how it works on wp.com? I want to be able to add a number of thumbs to a post that then links to a gallery where readers can see the full size images. However when I add ‘gallery’ to a post it just duplicates the images that are already there. I figure that the gallery function doesn’t do what I expxected it to. From what I read, the only advantage of ‘gallery’ is to add a group of images from one post to another post. Is this correct? If so, why would someone want to add the same images to two different posts?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you insert a gallery into a post, you have your pictures as thumbnails that will open in one of two ways:
on an attachment page, which is formated as your post page with sidebar, header, etc.
Or as a full sized image.You might want duplicate images if you want a page to put all all your pictures. In that case you would attach the pictures from each of your posts on that page as galleries.

So don’t use the Gallery feature, which automatically inserts thumbnail images that when clicked open either the full-sized image or an attachment page.
Just insert thumbnail images from the Image Uploader/Media Library tab whose hyperlink then points to the Page where you’ve inserted the full-size images.
Just be warned that “full-size” doesn’t mean the full sized image itself, but “full-size” for your theme. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/maximum-image-width/
