Light box and gallery
In order to take advantage of the light box feature simply insert any image from your gallery (you must upload it first) and then insert it into a post. Like this:
Don’t forget to set the alignment (your choices are none, left, center, right) make sure to “link to image”, save changes, and then insert the image into the post.
When readers click your image it will open up in lightbox (the background of the page will appear shaded and your image will open up full sized over the center of the page.)
The advantage (or drawback) is that images opened in the lightbox are more difficult to right click and save. Please note, more difficult, slightly more difficult. Very slightly.
Consider yourself warned.** Edit: 01/03/2009 Lightbox is disabled
Now gallery does not have a light box feature. Please do not complain to me that the light box is not working when you use the gallery feature, a lot of thought and consideration has gone into this arrangement and it’s a good functional compromise. If it’s really important to you that your gallery images open in a light box, then it should be important enough for you to take the time to add each image into the editor and arrange them as you like.
To use gallery click the “add an image” button (top of the text box), upload your images, and go to the gallery tab– it’s pretty intuitive from there.
**01/01/2009 ETA: All it takes to bypass the javascript for the light box speed clicking (refreshing and right-clicking the page before js has a chance to load in the browser) or simply using a browser that has javascript disabled.
