== Frequently Asked Questions ==

== Usage and Examples ==  
      
Uploaded images are called attachments in the WordPresss database. The [slideshow] shortcode takes all of the attachments associated with a post (by default it is the current post) and sets up a slideshow of these files. The slideshow advances automatically and is minimally styled. The slideshow uses the Title and Caption attributes of the WordPress Image Uploader/Gallery as well as the gallery sorting options.  
      
To add the slideshow to a post, insert this code:  [slideshow]  
      
To add a slideshow to a post but display the "gallery" of a different post, insert this code:  [slideshow id='2']   
      
To add a slideshow to a post that displays the thumbnail of each attachment and makes each thumbnail a link to it's full-size image:  [slideshow size='thumbnail' link='file']
