Lightbox
I’ve had Phil Massyn (my webmaster “go-to” guy) install a WordPress plugin called Lightbox.
This is one really sweet plugin, and it functions as a live slideshow for a series of posted images.
As an example, click on one of these thumbnails.
The screen will go almost black, and the image will load in full size over the top of the page.
You will then be able to use your right arrow or the “n” key to go to the next image, and the left arrow or the “p” key to go to the previous image.
And the “x” key will close the lightbox. As will clicking on the “close” button, obviously.

Now, personally, I love this! It just looks so good.
However, here on my machine, it doesn’t appear to be working on IE, but it DOES work on Firefox. I’d be keen to hear other user’s experiences with it. If you’re running IE and it works as I’ve described, let me know. Actually, you could also let me know if it DOESN’T work, too.
When it does work it looks good but I have only had it work once in 4 attempts using Firefox 2.0.0.5. It usually goes to the image on a blank screen
it works fine on my xp pro, on ie
looks really good
one day i’ll find time to create a site and if i do i’ll use this
thx
This is a great little plugin. I hope you can implement this for all of the pictures you discuss on Shutters Inc. FYI – I’m using Windows XP (Home) and IE 7
FYI – Seems to work fine with Firefox 2.0.5 and Safari under Mac OSX (tiger).
