  I would like to customize the shortcode [slideshow] CSS but when I place the CSS in the Custom CSS window, the CSS file for jetpack-slideshow is overriding my custom CSS.

  Any suggestions?

  @stacyduval, JetPack is supported at a separate website. We volunteers here at WordPress.com have virtually no knowledge of the plugin. Head over to http://jetpack.me/support/ and they should be able to help you out with your styling issues.

  Try making the CSS more specific. One way might be to use a very strict selector, another would be to use the “!important” rule (although best practice says to avoid using !important if at all possible, sometimes it is warranted though).
