  I suspect your slideshows are run by javascript, in which case wordpress.com will strip that out automatically for security reasons. I believe the Flickr widget does a slideshow feature though, I only use it for one image personally, so I could be wrong.

  There are more restrictions on embedded players in WordPress.com because we share a blogging backbone and we have to be far more security-conscious.

  Here are two FAQ threads that explain what slideshows are permitted in WordPress.com.

  Just for reference, the use of ‘www’ in both your links there is incorrect. The ‘sylvied’ and ‘what…’ bits takes hte place of them. They shouldn’t be used together. 30% of the folks on the net and most search engine spiders can’t follow such a link.
