  I cannot believe there isn’t an easy/slick slideshow that can be added to a WordPress blog. When I use the flickr widget, it allows me to do a slideshow of 10 pictures? And maybe I’m stupid but I couldn’t get that to work anyway. I have a Facebook-style page with another hoster and putting a slideshow in was easy – select the pictures, save, done. Slick. Nice. What gives?

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

  We can’t possibly give useful answers without knowing which blog we’re talking about. Please provide a link, starting with http, as explained in the sticky thread called 8 Things to Know Before Posting in the Forums.

  Those instructions will work IF this person has a WordPress.com blog. If they have a WordPress.org blog, they will not work. Always wait for a link first.

  That’s why the instruction says “for wordpress.com blogs”.

  Yes. My point is, we don’t know if jjdicarlo HAS a WordPress.com blog. About a third of the questions we get with no URL are from people who don’t, and don’t realize it.
