Finally getting the "slide show" picture pages working. Feel free to play around with this. Documentation, as usual, will be written real soon now. The short story is this:
When you [create] a new page there is now an option called 'slide show' in the page type pull down menu. Select this, and then in the template pull down menu, select either 'slide show plain' (for no 'posted by...', no comments, and no bottom footer) or 'slide show comment' (for 'posted by..." with comments, and with bottom page footer.) These are just the defaults, and can still be changed in [editpage] after the page is created (in case you want, say, 'posted by...' but not comments, or some other case.)
Anyway, once you create the page, just post pictures to it as if you were making regular posts to a page. The page will be set to display only one post per page, so your first post will become the first page, second post the second page, etc... I made this for pictures, but you could of course use it for text, or a combination of the two.
'previous' and 'next' links will be automagically inserted at the bottom of the page, and if you have more than three pictures a list of the pages will also be displayed (I know that's not clear, see here for an example - I mean the '1 2 3 4 5 6' page controls that show up just above the 'previous' and 'next'.
Comments welcome. There may well be bugs. Let me know.
