Using Lightbox for Blogger
My friend informed me today that something called Lightbox is all the rage these days when it comes to image-viewing on blogs, and sent me the link. As it turns-out, adding Lightbox support is a fairly simple process for Blogger!
First (and last), go check out this straightforward posting on the subject; it will tell you everything you need to know. Basically, you'll be posting a block of code at the end of your <head> code in Design mode, and then inserting a snippet between the <a and the href= tags of every embedded image you post.
You can also add an [album] tag if you want to group all images in a logical group, allowing you to cycle-through the images as a set (vs. opening and closing each, individually). Finally, you can add an Image Caption, if desired, which will appear at the bottom of each image. I don't use captions, but it's another option.
<a rel="lightbox" title="Image Caption" href=
<a rel="lightbox[album]" title="Image Caption" href=
Pretty simple? Check out any of my game reviews to see how Lightbox works.
