Galleries

WordPress has a built-in gallery feature which displays a nice thumbnail grid of your photos.

I’ve turned off all of Jetpack’s gallery features for this lesson. Will cover those in next lesson.

If you’ve been frustrated with organizing a nice grid of images in your post or page, galleries might be your best bet to clean that up. No more getting into code to put image #3 over in the #4 spot. With galleries it’s just drag and drop for image ordering. You can also easily add captions, choose what the smaller thumbnail links to and choose between a Thumbnail Grid and a Slideshow.

Gallery slideshow allows you to quickly and easily build a simple slideshow of your images.
