Lost In Cyberspace

I came across the iMP Auto Slimbox in my Google Alerts yesterday, and it was a plugin that immediately caught my interest. I have tried a couple of Lightbox variants for my images over the last couple of months and must admit to having failed to gain any real success in using them. But they do look really cool, so I hadn't yet given up all hope. The first big advantage I saw I could gain with this particular lightest of the light Lightbox clones was that it would automatically add the "rel" attribute (rel=”lightbox”) to my images, even working retroactively to add the values to all my previous attempts. This was a bit problematic as I had fiddled quite a bit with some of the code for these images, some having the rel=”lightbox” attribute already added which I think caused some confusion. Having added it to my Sandbox site and finding it very easy to set up and use I have now added it to this site. This post is in part a test, I am writing it via BlogDesk and I will test this time whether the plugin will add the values to the picture in this post or if it only works in the online "Write" page of the blog.

*Edit: Apparently it only applies to images posted directly from the Admin area*
