Post a slideshow via text widget
-
I currently added a photo gallery to a page on my blog. After messing around with it for a while I came across how to make a slideshow and really liked the idea. For the actual page I wanted to keep just the images but in my right sidebar I wanted to have the slideshow going and title it “Photo Gallery.”
I figured the Text Widget would be best to do this so I copied the HTML from the “Edit Page” page and then pasted it onto the text box. The slideshow did show up on the right side bar but only when I click on the page (titled “Southern Voice”) but does not appear on the actual blog sidebar itself. Is there any way I can make this work?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The information belos might be of interest. But the site/blog linked to your name has been deleted. Are you asking about another wp.com ?
Please update the link to your username: we usually need to see your blog for a good answer.

“2. How to make your name link to your blog:
Go into your dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to ‘Account Details’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ fill in the address of your blog and save the changes.
Now… when you comment here and on other blogs, your name will link to your blog. If you do this before you post your request for help, it will allow forum volunteers to be able to help you quicker since they won’t have to ask you for a link and wait until you come back to post one.” -

Thanks for linking your WordPress.com username to the WordPress.com blog in question. Note that a slideshow will display a set of images attached to a particular post or page. Here’s the link to support documentation on slideshows. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/
I did a forum search for “slideshow widget” for you and the results are that there are no slideshows that can be displayed in widgets onWordPress.com blogs.
The Flickr widget makes it easy to show thumbnails of the latest pictures from your Flickr account in your sidebar. See > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/flickr-widget/

I notice that some of your pictures don’t appear: there are only ‘?’ marks in a blank box. Is it only my browser problem or do you also see that? -
