    Is there any way to make a magnifying glass or some other rollover that informs people that the image in the blog can be viewed in a lightbox? That would be great! Here is an example of sorts: http://www.dwuser.com/education/content/adding-lightbox-integration-to-easyrotator/

    Matt, you can do that with CSS: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_cursor.asp Use the URL property to set cursor image.

    Thanks. this is a start. I have two problems with this solution. One is I know nothing about coding and two I don’t see a magnifying glass which is what I was hoping for. I tried the css and I got a cross hair as my cursor everywhere not just over the photo linked to your lightbox app. I only want to see a magnifying glass or something close to that when the cursor moves over the photo. Not on other links.

    Actually, another idea that might even be better. Is it possible to put a very small magnifying glass icon then the lower corner of each image that will appear in the lightbox? The fact is right now the cursor already turns to a finger when it rolls over the images. But people don;t see that unless they do it. If there was a small unobtrusive icon in the lower right or left then that would be helpful. Just a thought.
