  Hi there

  Is there any way you can change the size that a slideshow appears on the Twenty ten theme? I need more guidance than what is already provided on http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/

  Is there any way you can change things about the template by even paying something extra, even if you don’t wan to transfer to wordpress.org?

  Thank you so much!!!!!

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

  We need a link to the blog you are talking about.

  In general, the slideshows will be at the maximum width that the theme content area will allow.

  To change the width of the content area, it would require the CSS upgrade and some CSS editing experience. You do have to be careful with width though as you do not want to get the full width too wide or people on lower resolution monitors (there are still over 26% of web surfers using 1024 x 768 resolution) will have to scroll horizontally, and that is one of the top ten things people dislike on the web.

  So the only way to get rid of the ugly grey borders around the WP slideshows is to get the CSS upgrade? Is that correct?
