 * Can someone explain the following to me (keep in mind I am not a programmer and
   a noobie with code)
 * Lightbox support has been added. Simply use the standard WP shortcode i.e. [gallery
   link="file"] and the theme will pick up the images and represent them through
   lightbox.
 * This is what I inserted into the post:
 * title=”WIBF” href=”[http://perfectstrangerstheband.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Pix4.jpg&#8221](http://perfectstrangerstheband.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Pix4.jpg&#8221);
   rel=”lightbox”><img src=”[http://perfectstrangerstheband.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/thmb_test.jpg&#8221](http://perfectstrangerstheband.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/thmb_test.jpg&#8221);
   alt=”test pic”
 * It’s not coming up with : next, back buttons.
    I don’t know what shortcode is.
   Here is the actual url: [http://perfectstrangerstheband.com/?page_id=96](http://perfectstrangerstheband.com/?page_id=96)

 * Can someone give me an example of how to use a gallery short code in lightbox.
   
   This is the info the template author gave me:
 * Lightbox support has been added. Simply use the standard WP shortcode i.e. [gallery
   link="file"] and the theme will pick up the images and represent them through
   lightbox.
 * As a non programmer, this means nothing to me.
    What would I actually type in?
   Use test.jpg as an example. Is the path supposed to be included as well?
