I was thinking it would be nice to have a similar image slider for blog posts as is available in the site builder.

For example to use similarly like here, to give easy way to add pictures with captions:
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/02/nokia-3310-hands-on-its-hard-not-to-like-this-modern-take-on-the-feature-phone/

I was wondering would it be possible/easy have it work similarly as the polls for example, so that you create it and then it would be available in the editor as a choice in the "Embed Local Media" with videos and what ever choices are usually available for each website.

That would maybe need it to be module of it's own?

The Galleries module already has both of these features enabled.

You could certainly do it in the skin. I don't think any skins currently have it setup like that, but it is possible to do if you want to for your skin.

While on the subject, I'm just going to throw this thought in here related to it-
I use third party slideshows on my site's main page, to sell ads..see a pair of them in the middle of my site's Index page: http://fotmd.com/
Just saying- 'IF' jamroom was to create a new slideshow feature or module, it'd be great to be able to select size dimensions and transition options and to place one anywhere on one's site and upload whatever custom or chosen images we want to it (not limited only to images pulled from or linked from already-existing site section content like blogs, galleries, etc)

The slider structure on that Nokia page is created with this slider plugin:
http://sachinchoolur.github.io/lightslider

Its one of hundreds of scripts that do very similar things. Any of them _could_ be added in to anybodies skin currently.

Regarding the IF, what does the interface look like when you're setting up your slider? (you add a new widget, then.....)
