WP Lightbox JS Plugin and Automattic Stats

To extend experience and functionality I have installed WP Lightbox JS Plugin for site imagery and Automattic Stats for WP Global Dashboard. Check out the portfolio for a good example of Lighbox functionality.

Plugin used to overlay images on the current page into neat Javascript-powered overlay popups. This plugin includes the new Lightbox JS v2.03.2 javascript written by Lokesh Dhakar and got transformed into a Wordpress Plugin by me. Use the title attribute if you want to show a caption. Click on the images below for an example. Source

Automattic Stats is the analytics solution that WP users get but as a plugin for people serving their own instance of WordPress.

There are hundreds of plugins and services which can provide statistics about your visitors. However I found that even though something like Google Analytics provides an incredible depth of information, it can be overwhelming and doesn’t really highlight what’s most interesting to me as a writer. That’s why Automattic created its own stats system, to focus on just the most popular metrics a blogger wants to track and provide them in a clear and concise interface. Source

It makes things prettier than they were, which sounds impossible, and it makes it easier for me to get you good content. We both win.
