  My image does not display at the correct size. It seems to be smaller than it should.

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

  I want to show full screen pictures in the slideshow

  That is actually the maximum size for a slideshow-type gallery in the theme you’re using.

  You might want to use a standard gallery format, as when an image is clicked in a standard gallery, it opens a full-screen slideshow.

  Does that mean I have to switch themes?

  No, you don’t really have to switch themes, it’s just that the slideshow gallery type won’t be any larger on the theme you’re using.

  Have you tried changing that to a standard gallery, so you can see the fullscreen slideshow which appears when you click an image?

  I don’t see any standard gallery setting to use. Where is it?

  Also why can’t I use a plug in like Next Gen? There is no place to access plug ins on my theme either

  On the page in question, edit the inserted gallery, and choose “Default” from the gallery type drop-down menu to the right.

  I downloaded Full Frame theme but how can I install it? There is no upload tab in the Appearance>Theme area.

  Themes can’t be uploaded to WordPress.com. That’s a feature of self-hosted blogs through WordPress.org.

  You don’t need to switch themes, just give the Default gallery a style, you might like it what does. When someone opens an image in a default gallery, they get a full-screen slideshow.
