Is it possible to add a photo gallery to a page?
Yes. See here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/gallery/However, know that category pages https://en.support.wordpress.com/category-pages/ that auto-update when we publish post assigned to a category are not the same as static pages that we bloggers create https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/.

Just to expand on what tt has said, so http://thewalkingnews.net/photos/ is where you can embed a standalone Gallery feature https://en.support.wordpress.com/gallery/
and
http://thewalkingnews.net/category/photos/ is a dynamically created page that contains any post that you have tagged with the “photos” category.
In order to add that “category page” to your navigation tabs, you would create a Custom Menu https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
Let us know if you need more help with that.

@justjennifer @timethief so i added a gallery to my page, and it looks good but i was wondering if i could do this: when i click on the photos page where all of my photos are, is it possible to just show one picture on that page – then be able to click on that picture with a title with that picture, and then clicking on that picture would lead to the carousel with all of the pictures. i want to do this because i would like to be able to upload multiple galleries on that page, and also because i would like to have a title with each gallery, not just the main ‘Photos’ title. i want to be able to click on the photos page and be able to click on the main photo that leads to the whole gallery with the carousel, so then it could easily just show one picture per gallery on the page, so then its not showing a ton of pictures on that one page. hope you understand!

@twdbreakingnews
justjennifer will help when she can. I’m leaving for two days of vocal performances and won’t be back until late Monday or early Tuesday. -

@twdbreakingnews – a quick question:
Are you currently using a Custom Menu on your site? https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
-
@justjennifer not exactly sure. i created a menu in settings and its called ‘menu 2’ and it started off with the home menu and i added off of that.
-
OK-I think I understand.
Currently even though it’s possible to jump directly from a single thumbnail image on one page to the Photo Carousel with all the Pictures from a Gallery, the page where that related Gallery appears will load in the background. This means that anyone closing the Photo Carousel will be on the page where the Gallery appears and not on the page where the single thumbnail is.
I’ll work on something and then post it for you. Since tomorrow is the start of my work week, it may take me a couple days before it’s ready.

If OK with you, when I’m done I’ll invite you to my test site as an Author so you can also see the back end goings on.
Also, if this is no longer relevant, please let me know (given your question about Adsense and the seeming disappearance of your domain mapping). TIA

well I actually think I’m going to use WordPress.org now, it just seems like there is a lot more available on there.

Well, at least the time I’d already invested in experimenting with this taught me something new, so thank you for that.
Best wishes, regardless of where you decide to set up.
