 * Hi guys
 * I like the black-box image pop-up used on many sites and the best I’ve seen so
   far is jQuery Lightbox by [pedrolamas](http://www.pedrolamas.com/projectos/jquery-lightbox-en/).
 * The snag is this – Each time I want the black box effect to work I have to swap
   from normal post edit mode to code and insert the simple tag – rel=”lightbox”
   into the wordpress default insert image tags.
 * Can I tweak the root code somewhere to include this every time automatically?
   the reason this is a snag is because if I swap from code view to normal view 
   and save the post it drops the tag I just edited so all posts with images have
   to stay with code view.
 * My options seem to be:
 * 1. Find and use a far more awesome plugin??
    2. Hack the code to include the 
   tag
 * Please advise. I can tweak theme settings but this is deep in WP itself.
