You can upload some pictures into a post and create an image gallery with the [gallery] shortcode. When you choose the »gallery« post format there will be a gallery thumbnail image and the total number of images on your blogs home page.

Ellen, is there also a way to show the gallery pictures in a lightbox or Slideshow feature?
Yes, sure! I can recommend the WordPress plugin Jetpack for WordPress because it includes a beautiful and responsive Carousel image slideshow.
After you installed the plugin you just have to make sure you select the option »Link thumbnails to: image file« (link=\”file\” for the shortcode) when including the gallery in your posts.
