 * I read in the documentation that simply using the shortcode [gallery] will bring
   in all images.
 * When I try this, I get nothing on the page. I have to instead specify every single
   media id.
 * I have tried this on EVERY theme and not seen it work anywhere. Is it no longer
   working?
 * The goal is to be able to create a single gallery page that does not require 
   constant editing as new images are uploaded.
 * Solutions?
