Implementing Picbox in Blogger

Picbox is a lightweight javascript image viewer, which differentiates itself by allowing easy viewing of images larger than the available screen size.

It features automatic resizing and zooming of large images, allowing them to fit in the browser or be viewed at full size.

             

Steps to Add it to Blogger:

1.Login to the Blogger account.

• For Multiple Usage
• For Single Usage

2. Now Go to Design > Edit HTML.

3.Now search for the </head> tag and paste the following code just Above/Before it. 

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>  
 <script src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/Picbox-2.2/Picbox-2.2/js/picbox.js" type="text/javascript">  
 </script>  
 <link href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/Picbox-2.2/Picbox-2.2/css/picbox.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>

2.Go to the Post/Page you want to add the Picbox and go to Edit HTML tab .

3.Now copy the code from below and paste it there.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>  
 <script src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/Picbox-2.2/Picbox-2.2/js/picbox.js" type="text/javascript">  
 </script>  
 <link href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27675057/Picbox-2.2/Picbox-2.2/css/picbox.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link> 

4.Now for adding the images into Picbox,Firstly add the image normally using Insert Image button


Now When you see the code in the edit HTMLwindow it would be something like this

<a href=" large3.jpg"=""><img border="0" height="90" src="/small3.jpg" width="120" /></a>

Make it like this

<a href=" " rel="lightbox" ><img src=" " /></a>

As you can see we added only a rel=lightbox".

For making a Gallery add the following code

<a href=" " rel="lightbox-g1" ><img src=" " /></a>
<a href=" " rel="lightbox-g1" ><img src=" " /></a>

5.Now save the Post/Page andsee the magic.

Note:Please Host all the files on free hosting service like DropBox  or Blogspot itself !


Another Important thing to note is that all the images used in this tutorial like Next button ,Previous button ,etc are all hosted on Google Code service which are the fastest and most reliable servers on the internet with the least downtime.So you can easily implement this with no hassles for Image Hosting.
