I am slowly building up a web site, nothing special Word press with a simple theme and a few custom graphics, template mods as and when. Being a developer by trade I know full well I don't have the time/inclination to custom code something.

I have put a slide show on the front page to automatically rotate through a handful of images that will (once I take some I like) become a sort of initial window into my portfolio. Landscape images look nice and I am really happy with the effect, but portrait ones look weird. Should I size them to be the same as the landscape images or resize so they have the same height? I am not really happy with either option, what do others do.

If you centered the contents of the slideshow div, both vertically and horizontally, then at least the images would always be in more or less the same place? Would help alot imo.
 
I have it in a div that's center aligned but it seems to aligned the image letter. Might be I need to find a better slideshow/gallery plugin then.
 
Your gallery plugin seems pretty funky, definitely writing some interesting CSS there.
I had a go at making it centred but nothing seemed to have an effect - the gallery javascript was overwriting I think.

I'm sure you could tweak the plugin to center align...
 
I would try to keep all images the same height and width, I know this is hard but will make everything a lot more uniform.
