Or I can use the awesome Gallery or Slideshow to display a collection of images.

Sadly, I want it all. The Gallery lets me give the image a title, but that's about it. The Slideshow shows the photo with no text at all.

I have a genealogy blog and would like to have, say, a group of photos with text identifying who's in each photo. I can't find any way to do that except the boring old-fashioned way. Any suggestions about how to use the Gallery or Slideshow, or something else I don't know about? Thanks.

It wouldn't be an automatic list of your most recent posts however:

If that doesn't answer your question, I suggest you create a new thread as this one is marked "resolved", and also include a link to your blog ( starting with http:// ) on your new thread.

You can then change back to Twenty Ten and the Template now has the proper options. However, you may lose any customizations that are in 2010 but not in Coraline.

Many of these people chose to have their blogs here because they didn't want to have to maintain their own install of wordpress, they wanted to have one less worry.

The big problem here was that the bugs hit bloggers where they lived, in the editor for the most part, and everyone's posting came to a sudden halt, and for some apparently it is still a problem (IE7).

And this episode certainly isn't going to improve the relationship with all those live space refugees that were exiled by Microsoft, most of whom are likely using some version of IE.

Sure the basic service here is free, and for those of us who have been here for a time, we know this can happen, but for people who have not experienced this, it comes as quite a shock.

If this had been thoroughly vetted on a parallel wordpress.COM system, even a small one with just a few staff test blogs, most of the more serious bugs should have been discovered before it was rolled out on the unsuspecting bloggers here.

WordPress.com has always been the beta testing ground for stand alone WordPress. (Check out my blog's tagline.) It comes with the free territory here.

If staying out of the beta testing is that important to you, self-hosted would be the way to go. The standalone version of WordPress only gets the upgrade after the beta testing here is done. That way you can upgrade (or not) your self-hosted site to the latest standalone version of WordPress with the bugs already squashed.

In general I'm extremely happy with WordPress.com. But this upgrade to 3.1 is very disappointing.

The upgrade has introduced not one but two significant bugs. They relate to inserting links:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/problem-inserting-links-in-a-post
and to changing layouts within a template:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/cant-change-template-on-twenty-ten-anymore

This would be acceptable if they occurred only with little-used templates. But they occur with 2010, which is a WordPress template and is the default template for new blogs at WordPress.

This might be acceptable if it were only with little-used browsers. But the bugs occur with FF, IE, and Chrome.

On top of this, the blog entry at:
http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/linking-sorting-paging/
blithely asserts that "the lucky users of WordPress.com are automatically included in the beta testing."

Sorry, but my blogs are production sites, not test sites. Beta testing at WordPress should require an opt-in, or allow an opt-out, if changes are liable to introduce bugs in important templates across multiple browsers.

By default, Twenty Ten uses a two-column layout with lots of room for widgets. If you’d like to hide the widgets and focus on the writing for a particular page, just choose the “One column, no sidebar” template.</quote>.
