Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
YoxView is a stylish, free Javascript image gallery
This one's for the web developers: JS "lightbox" galleries are a dime a dozen these days. Do we really need another one? After looking at YoxView, I think it's definitely a worthy contender in this crowded niche.
YoxView has the usual lightbox effect but adds a few bells and whistles such as easy support for multiple instances (great for blogs), image pre-caching, timed slideshows, keyboard support, and language packs. The lightbox itself dynamically resizes for each image with a nice little jQuery animation.
YoxView is available under the MIT license (X11) both as a jQuery plugin and as a standalone application.

This is pretty nice. I'm by no means an expert with webpage design and it was simple to install.
Anyone know of an easy way to add the captions below each thumbnail as well though? So the user doesn't have to click on the image just to see the image name?

To add the captions, you can either add them below each image or write a JS/jQuery/whatever script that would do it automatically, based on the images' ALT attributes.

It would be awesome to see a plugin for Wordpress like the Lighbox plugin now. If I could integrate this with NextGen, it would be wonderific!
