What’s it gonna be when posting media? Instead of using LightBox 2 or SmoothGallery I tried the Shadowbox.js Media Viewer. And yes, there exists a Shadowbox JS WordPress Plugin. Some possibilities below. Very cool! The default navigation icons are a bit small but I’ll let them be. You can use both left and right arrow keys to navigate and the Esc key to close the ShadowBox. Of course Javascript must be enabled, but the site isn’t screwed up when not.

Using Shadowbox JS to view both original-sized photos, as posted here.

Using Shadowbox JS to view three original-sized photos from one ‘Cool Guys’ album.

This is great indeed! Using Shadowbox JS to view a Picasa Slideshow. As said, Javascript must be enabled, but Javascript is needed to let the Picasa Slideshows work to begin with – as most Sliders, Gliders and other gimmicks do.

Viewing the Skiermûntseach (see also Lytje Pole 2009) Picasa Album, where I quickly added 13 miscellaneous images, taken over a period of years.
Sjoekie’s portrait was done on May 17, 2005 and I was very pleased with the result. The picture was titled “Blown about elderly doggie on splendid beach“.
The photo showing two beautiful girls Elke & Lisa is taken by two beautiful girls Elke & Lisa.

Let me finish with Media support. Michael J. I. Jackson writes on his support pages: “Although Shadowbox supports many types of video, it is recommended that all video be displayed in this (FLV) format because it will have the most uniform result across different platforms. QuickTime and Windows Media Player each have their bugs and quirks that are difficult to iron out.”. So I converted the GrindHouse trailer from MOV to FLV. Have a go! I discovered Shadowbox.js yesterday evening. Started to play with it … and suddenly noticed it was dawning again. Nice. If you download the full Shadowbox distribution it is probably good to know there exists a ShadowBox forum too. When running WordPress, simply install the WP Plugin. Hassle Free!
