  On my regular, self-hosted WordPress site, I can use a lightbox plugin that allows images to overlay in the larger version when clicked. Plugins aren’t permitted on WP.com hosted sites. Is there a way to do a lightbox effect on WP.com sites?

  Thanks.

  No is the simple and correct answer to your question.

  Have you checked out the support docs here?

  An image gallery will display a set of small images attached to a particular post or page. Readers can click on any image to launch a full-size carousel that allows them to scroll through the entire gallery one image at a time. With the slideshow option, images will automatically move from one to the next after a few seconds.
