Official Blogger Light Box

Most of you might have noticed the Light box overlay display for images on your Blogger Blogs. The feature looks similar to the one in Google Plus. The feature is enabled on all Blogger Blogs by Default.

Some time back I had posted about implementing a Light Box on Blogger. Now such hacks are not necessary Here is a Screen Shot the new LightBox Feature

 

and here is the Live Demo

When you click on the Small Version of the image, it will open the Bigger Version in the LightBox Over Lay.". These are the keyboard shortcuts supported by the LightBox Overlay:

1.Left / right arrows

2. j/k

3. n/p

All these keys will help you in navigating through the images,

4. Esc to close the LightBox.

Update:

14/10/2011: Blogger has now added an Option to turn off the Light Box Feature

To do that Go to Settings > Posts and Comments and set “Open Images in Lightbox” to “No”
