If you have a slideshow at the top of the post, how do you insert individual images in the body of the post? No matter where I put my cursor and click Insert Into Post, it puts the image in the slideshow above.

I’m finding that my usual technique of simply pasting the URL from Flickr into the post works sometimes, but not always. Which is infuriating since this is by far the simplest way of displaying slideshows and maximising exposure.
It works fine with other hosts, and there are options for size and alignment.

I don’t have a self hosted wordpress blog, it’s a regular wordpress.com blog and I do not have a ‘Insert slideshow’ button. Please help, I would love to have a slideshow of my paintings.

How does this work using the media library instead of uploading the pictures?

Jesse,

Does this same technique work for inserting a slideshow into a website page rather than a blog?

Hi Jesse,
Is it possible to add captions to the pictures?

For people with a self-hosted version I would suggest to download the NextGen Gallery plugin and the JW Image rotator. This is really great stuff. Please check out the sidebar of my website to see the result.

Sounds like you might be running a self-hosted version of WordPress, rather using WordPress.com (which this video was made about). It’s worth heading to the Plugins> Add New menu, where you’ll be able to search from some slideshow alternatives

Hi Jesse, thanks for the video.

I have the Modularity Lite theme, and I am trying to make a slideshow like the one WP published http://modularitylitedemo.wordpress.com/. However, I cannot make my pictures looks wider (complete width of the page). Can you help me with that?

Thank you very much

Hi this seems like great info and it seemed so easy, but since we don’t have an insert slideshow option when weI insert images do you have any other suggestions?
