  You know how people post a photo of themselves on their About page. I had an idea that instead of displaying a single photo, to add a slideshow in its place. Appearance wise, which idea do you think looks better, or does it matter?

  Hi Ashley,
  If you are referring to http://loveashley.net/about-me/ then I say: why not? I think having both is a fine idea. Here’s the link to a guide http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/

  Start by uploading the images into your page or post. Then use the slideshow shortcode,
  [slideshow]
  provided that the images have already been uploaded through the post or page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/#adding-a-slideshow-with-previously-uploaded-images
  For slideshow order see here > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/there-is-no-more-option-to-make-a-slideshow-in-a-post?replies=5#post-1082501
