 * Hi,
 * love the plugin, but I’m having some issues with it which probably are my errors
   or bad understanding then issues with the plugin.
 * I installed the plugin through the WP plugin installer and after install I created
   3 categories, no issues so far.
 * next step was adding them to a page where i want the albums to show.
 * First issue comes by straight away, there is very little resourse on the shortcoding,
   and forgive me I don’t know where I picked it up but according to the web the
   belows short code should be working…
    then again there might be a chance I picked
   it up from the original gallery shortcoding…
 * [mediacategories categories=”22″ columns=”3″ size=”thumbnail” orderby=”RAND”]
 * The categorie is picked up correctly, the size is picked up as well, only the
   pictures are shown in 1 column rather then the given number of columns.
 * Final issue I’m facing is the lightbox… as per the change log I understand that
   it should be working as from revision 1.0.1 however not with me. the image are
   opened to a new browser tab eventhough i got the lightbox pluging defined to 
   be active on every page. (Lightbox Gallery, Version 0.6.8 | By Hiroaki Miyashita)
 * If I have been mixing up the sources of the shortcode pls forgive me, but still
   i believe it would be beneficiary to have a list of possible short codes.
    If
   your plugin does not support colums at the moment it would be a great addition
   to it.
 * hope you are willing to reply.
    thx Chiel
