Ovidiu,
Answered your request back at the demo blog, that’s built in functionality, but perhaps we can make the instructions a bit more informative. Thanks for request.

great thanks. my comment there was awaiting moderation, hence I opened this thread here.
what I am looking ot achieve is a theme like this: http://exposedplanet.com/
I emailed the blog owner and he told me what theme he is using but its a very complicated theme requiring certain photo bogging plugins.
I am trying to build something similar for my own purpose.
The important part is that on his site you can click some links that a) side open comments b) show the story behind the picture c) dispay exif info
see screenshot or test it live on the link I gave above: http://screencast.com/t/7Kel60U2
I have solved the comment sliding with a tiny bit of javascript, its quite easy, and the exif display using the dispay exif plugin too, currently stuck at the part where to hide/show the story.
my thoughts were: input the story and the full size image into the content of a post, separate by the MORE tag and show/hide the story part on click somehow.
I hope I have managed to explain what I am looking for?
can you check if this can be done or if not do you have another idea how to achieve this?
For the a, b, c – currently the plugin doesn’t support multiple ‘mores’ inside of a single ‘showmore’, however the positioning of the link could be solved with a small bit of modification to your stylesheet (the below as applied to the default twenty ten theme):
#content{position:relative; top:0; left:0;}
#content .showmore{border:solid 1px #000;}
#content .showmore a{
position:absolute;
top:10px; right:0;
border:solid 1px #000; padding:2px 8px;
}
Default
Styled as above

yeah, sounds like a doable workaround, but its quite an ugly hack. since I have to perfectly position the ink, hope it stays cross browser compatible too 🙂
as you can see from the inks I gave you, I want to integrate the link into a menu…
anyway, very nice plugin, I’ll mark this topic as closed and if you have more ideas please let me know.
will check it out later on today and see how it performs on my testinstall.
