Now lets see what we can do about making this an easier process. Apparently WP 2.8 changed its insert gallery process so you have to save the post first. Then id you wait a moment, the gallery tab appears. Not to useful as it doesn’t allow you to upload first and gallery later. Nor does it expose the code you to add the rel=”shadowbox”

Study in Travelators…

If, however you have the Image Links set to true on the Shadowbox Automation section of the Shadowbox Plugin Settings, then it will auto-sense the images and give you a slideshow without any of the options. Not optimal, but better than having to code everything by hand just to show a few images.
