 * Hello,
 * In JetPack 3.6, a new Enhancement was listed:
    **Slideshow Gallery: New parameters
   _size_ and _autostart_.**
 * Can someone point me to the documentation and/or provide some background as to
   how those parameters are implemented?
 * Thanks!

 * You can use the `autostart` shortcode parameter by switching from the Visual 
   to the Text editor. You will then be able to add that parameter to the gallery
   shortcode, like so:
 * `[gallery type="slideshow" ids="1499,1477,1437,1436" autostart="true" size="thumbnail"]`
 * `autostart`, as you’ve probably guessed, ensures that the slideshow starts switching
   from one image to the other as soon as you load the page.
 * `size`, on the other hand, allows you to specify an image size. In the example
   above, I used the thumbnail size:
