 * I’ve gone and typed in a description for all of my photos in a gallery, but I
   can’t see anything that lets me use this field. It would be nice to have the 
   title work as an alt-tag for the thumbnail (which it does) but the description
   to come up in the lightbox when it is clicked on.
 * Any idea how I would do that? Here’s my gallery page:

 * Thanks.
