 * Just started a wordpress site and I am completely new to wordpress, but I pick
   it up very fast and was able int install to my server without a problem. Installed
   a few plugins and here is my story…
 * In a nutshell I post alot of photos on my site, so lightbox was the obvious choice.
   I figured it would be as easy as installing the plugin.
 * Selecting which photos I would like to upload, then choosing lightbox as the 
   display option and that would be the end of the sotry. Perhaps I am dim today
   or whatever the case is. For some reason I just cant get it to work.
 * Is there any easy way to just make it work ?
 * In theory shouldnt it be as easy as selecting the files you would liek to upload,
   click select all and have them all shown on one page ? Talking without lightbox.
 * The only way I can manage to make it work is manually select them all and upload
   them, then go thgrough them all afterwards and “insert into post”.
 * I choose the [gallery] option however nothing loads on my page.
 * I read the the manual for wordpress and it dosent really go into specifics other
   than “insert” into post.
 * Any help would great be appreciated, what is the standard for lightbox plug in?
   or are there a few decent ones ?
 * thanks for your time.
