Lightbox Plugin

I recently installed the lightbox plugin for WordPress. I think it adds some neat functionality to blogging in general, and I have found that it incorporates greatly with my flickr account.

The idea is pretty simple: use JavaScript to alter the behavior of links, in my case, photos on flickr. It lets you send users to pictures on other domains, without making them leave your site. Pretty handy if you ask me. Check out this example:

Kris, Baby Mac, and Stu

Check out the Wordpress plugin, or the project homepage for more info.

Update: I have since taken this plugin off due to some display problems in IE. I will check back in a later version to see if they are fixed.
