Gallery pictures how-to question - (Nothing to do with Atahualpa theme i assume)
 
Hi. I assume this has nothing to do with the Atahualpa theme. But thought I would ask here anyway as you all seem very helpful.

I inserted a gallery into my wordpress page but don't know how to get the thumbnails to open in a new window. (target="_blank") Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Personally I don't like taking the user's focus away from the page they were on which is why I use one of the many plugins that will open the images with a 'lightbox' effect.

I use Shadowbox JS which can apply the effect to external links as well as single or gallery images.

As an example see:

As this site is from scratch I'm still building the content but you should get the idea.

Perfect. Thanks for the info. This will definitely be a better solution. I assume that JS shadowbox is this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shadowbox-js/ ?

Will definitley give it a try.

thanks again.
