A lightbox is a way of displaying a gallery of images. A user clicks on a single photo, and without taking the user from the page, a full-screen gallery and slideshow takes place. A user can browse the gallery and exit the lightbox window. Our Flickr slideshow from the previous section is an example of a lightbox.
The WordPress Multibox plugin allows you to conveniently share multimedia from your WP blog with lightbox elegance and utility. It is a useful and free tool that works with the following file types:
