 * Here’s what I had to tell my colleagues to get the Lightbox feature to work:
 * >  Lightbox only works when photos have a caption!
   > When selecting a photo with the ‘WordPress Flickr Embed’ plugin you should 
   > set the size of the embedded photo and also the (larger) size of the image 
   > for Lightbox. You will see a box for ‘Photo Title’, but beware – that isn’t
   > a caption.
   >  To give it a caption, click on the image in the Visual Editor, 
   > then the pencil icon at the top-right of the image. In the dialog that comes
   > up you will see a box for a Caption. Type anything – I think it has to be visible
   > text, but a ‘-‘ will do if you can’t think of a caption. Delete the contents
   > of the two boxes ‘Alternatie Text’ and ‘Image Title Attribute’ and press Update.
