Need plugin for thumbnail art portfolio

@paulboner you can use the built in galley functionality, and install a light box plugin such as http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightbox-gallery/ which will allow you to create a pop up effect, alternatively you can always link directly to the original media source.

@paulboner Nope, that’s built into the WordPress gallery functionality itself, so if you check out http://3manfactory.co.uk/2012/08/we-turned-one/ we’ve uploaded lots of images to this post from which WordPress has crunched them an output the thumbnail version. From which rather than use that particular plugin I’ve gone in and made it use a custom styled pop up.
