 * I’m building a website for a house museum. I’m looking for a free slideshow plugin,
   and would appreciate recommendations from other WordPress users. Our theme is
   Esplanade.
 * I would like to build a Galleries page which is the menu for 3 to 6 separate 
   slideshows. I envision a clickable link under a thumbnail for each gallery. Each
   slideshow may have from 10 to 50 images.
 * When a gallery link is clicked, I would like a pop out slideshow that will appear
   on top of (i.e., cover all or most of) the Galleries page, so viewers only have
   to close the slideshow to return to the Galleries page.
 * I’m looking for something very modern and clean, with a dark, possibly semi-transparent
   photo box. I’d like autoplay and a fade transition. I don’t need thumbnails, 
   but a caption option would be a plus.
 * I don’t have sidebars, so this can’t be widget-based. It would be nice if I didn’t
   have to create a separate page for each slideshow (which I think I’d have to 
   do with shortcodes, right)? The ability to handle different sized images within
   the same slideshow would be great.
 * I have limited experience with slideshows, so advice is appreciated! Also, links
   to sites that are currently using the plugin under discussion are extremely helpful.
 * Thanks, folks!
