Adding wp_header for Lightbox 2.8 (1 post)

    I've been building my WordPress theme from scratch with the help of WPDesigner.com's So You Want to Create WordPress Themes, Huh? tutorial.

    This is what I have so far: link. It does not work in Internet Explorer, not even IE7. I know what I need to do to set up and configure the alternate style sheet, but am waiting until the end to do that so that's not really a concern.

    So I had everything working and then installed Lightbox 2.8 for use by itself and with the Slickr plugin. I am really excited to have everything so well integrated instead of having to deal with a separate photolog system, blogging system, and gallery system.

    I could not get Lightbox to work. In the FAQ, it mentioned that the template had to include wp_header. wp_header is not listed in the Codex's tag list (that I could find) and generally when it is discussed, it is in a way that assumes the audience knows more about what they are doing than I do.

    So how do I add wp_header to my template in a way that doesn't get in the way of anything else. When I just plopped it down there, it pretty much broke everything so I apparently need to handle it carefully.

    Thanks for your help! I was so proud that I had gotten as far as I had on my own, but I really could use some help now.
