 * Jetpack says that it supports [slideshow] shortcode but that is for the external
   service by slideshare.net which doesn’t let you add images to it.
 * Is there any way to use jetpack shortcode to get images saved in my media library
   to show up as a slideshow?

 * Jetpack offers a slideshow shortcode for use with slide.com, which generates 
   slideshows. There’s nothing built-in to Jetpack that allows you to create a slideshow
   from your Media gallery, however.

 * I see slide.com no longer lets you register to create a slideshow anymore though
   and the link to slide from [http://www.slide.com/arrange?cy=wp](http://www.slide.com/arrange?cy=wp)
   no longer works. So looks like slide is no longer an option for wordpress users
   🙁
 * Can you suggest anything else?

 * I found “slideshow” by devpress to work with the short code for this type of 
   thing. [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow/faq/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/slideshow/faq/)
 * The only downside that bothered me with this one is that it cuts off images that
   are too tall, showing only the top half.
 * I noticed nextgen doesn’t cut the images off, but unfortunately that one doesn’t
   use [slideshow] automatically like the first plugin I mentioned does. I’m trying
   to find the balance between these two factors :/
 * also might want to disable jetpack to make it work.
 * I really want to use this right because I transferred a lot of post-attached 
   galleries from a .com site.
