A nifty little graphic plug-in
Oddly enough, the first post on this SEO blog has nothing to do with SEO or monetization…
I use WordPress for a handful of sites, so I’m always on the lookout for handy plug-ins. I found this one today and just had to share it. This is a plug-in for WordPress that makes any linked image have an on-page zoom effect, rather than just a simple link to the image. Click the image to the right to see what I mean.
This is accomplished using a plug-in built around the “FancyZoom” script. It’s a standard WordPress plug-in, though it does require one minor template edit (changing the “body” tag in your header). It’s about a two minute install and it does a great job.
The plug-in can be found here and the original FancyZoom script can be found here. Here is another live site that is running the plug-in.
Very easy, very slick, and free. Gotta love it!

Howdy;at first, thanks for sharing this . A nice Plugin and
i would use it too, but im not a big coding nose, thats why i have some “problems” with the words:

In your wp-content/themes directory are all of the themes that you have loaded. Inside of the folder for your active them is a file called “header.php”. Inside there replace text that says “<body>” with the code provided.

Hola again;
It is simply amazing and it works well, but:
I was used before the Lightbox plugin (im not sure if you know that)- a Picture with a grey Outline.
At this time i can use the FancyZoom OR the lightboxplugin. Mhh; There is a possibility to use both ?

I don’t think there is any way to use both, as they use different effects to load the image. If someone knows otherwise, please let us know.
