  Will you add Lightbox to WordPress.com? It comes included with blogger.com. It should be relatively simple to add.

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

  Hi there, Are you aware of what follows?

  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.

  WordPress.com doesn’t have a “lightbox” feature.

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  FTP access, plugins and third party themes are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate. if you require plugins then you must hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. http://wordpress.org/

  Just a quick Q on this: are there any themes that have lightbox type functionality inbuilt? It would be great for a portfolio theme to allow thumbnails a click event that opens a display version of the image on the same page.
