Lightbox 2 Plugin

by Chris Taylor on Jan.25, 2010, under General, Photography Tips & Tricks

I subscribed to Scott Kelby’s Online training earlier this month and the lessons I have watched so far are proving that the cost is worth the knowledge gained. I just finished watching RC’s (Rafael Concepcion) Wordpress training videos and thought I would play around with one of the plugins he mentioned.

The Lightbox 2 plugin adds a nice feature to images. You can click on the image and it will bring it up in the center of screen and overlay a darker mask over the rest of the blog. It makes it easier on the eyes to view an image this way so outside influences (other colors, text, etc…) are mitigated.

You can see the plugin in action by clicking on the image below in this post as well as the first two images in the Bridal Session post.

(I installed Lightbox 2 version 2.0.2. The new version seemed to be flaky so I “downgraded” to an earlier version that works).

Let me know what you think. I’m diggin’ it so far.

I will be posting some images later this week. I need to get some photos sent out to the lab for printing before posting them though. I gotz deadlines to meet.

Until next time…
