Lightbox Test

This blog, like many others, uses the "Lightbox" wizard, for displaying photos.

Lightbox is a selectable feature. In the "Posts, comments and sharing" dashboard page, set "Showcase images with Lightbox" to "Yes", to enable Lightbox.

Whether we enable Lightbox or not, the Page / Post Editor "Insert image" wizard generates code which inserts a thumbnail size image into the post, linking to a full size image. When clicked on, the thumbnail image is replaced by a "full size" image, which lets the reader inspect the image (photo, picture) in greater detail.

With Lightbox enabled, the code generated and added to the page or post is reasonably simple.


This is not difficult to understand. The thumbnail size image, when clicked on, is replaced by the full size image, displayed in Lightbox.



It's a captioned link - where a thumbnail sized image is a caption to the fill sized image. The full size image is displayed in Lightbox.

With Lightbox disabled, the code generated and added to the page or post is somewhat obscure.



This is old "Insert image" code, as used before Lightbox became an optional feature.

Add A Custom Redirect, If You Change A Post URL

When you rename a blog, the most that you can do, to keep the old URL useful, is to setup a stub post , with a clickable link to the new URL. Yo! The blog is now at xxxxxxx.blogspot.com!!

Referer Spam Is Annoying - And, It's Persistent

Recently, we've seen a few blog owners who are curious about odd trends in their Stats displays. My numbers seem to go up steadily for a while, then drop. Then, they go up again, for a while, then drop again. Rises and falls in traffic are normal. You'll never have the same number of people, viewing your blog, constantly. During some days and some hours, our readers are going to be elsewhere, and not viewing our blogs.

What's The URL Of My Blog?

We see the plea for help, periodically I need the URL of my blog, so I can give it to my friends. Help! Who's buried in Grant's Tomb, after all? No Chuck, be polite. OK, OK. The title of this blog is "The Real Blogger Status", and the title of this post is "What's The URL Of My Blog?".
