Excellent New Wordpress Plugin for that Excellent New Image Affect, brought to you by Lightbox


The new release of Digg yesterday brought upon many changes but the most significant in my mind was what they had done to the video section. Not only did give Videos their own section, but they’ve implemented an absolutely amazing affect using some mod of Lightbox to play the videos right on the site. Don’t ask ME how to do it, but if somebody else knows how, I’d be pleased to find out. I think this affect alone could doom embedded video on blogs or sites, but I’ll be writing about that later in the week.

However, my main objective was to finally get Lightbox working again on my blog with images, using the WP lightbox JS WordPress Plugin. At the time I first discovered this plugin, I’ve had nothing but problems with it, and although when it worked, it worked as advertised, most of the time it was theme dependent.

Now, thanks to Everton over at ConnectedInternet he’s pointed out another option brought to you by m3nt0rs…called Lightbox 2.02 Plugin. All that it takes is a simple implementation of a thumbnail or link like this:

Or if you don’t have Wordpress, check out HuddleTogether and the original creators of Lightbox.

Special thanks to YouTube & Everton at ConnectedInternet
