 Having mentioned that there are lots and lots of variations, one of the more popular ones is [[http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/|Lightbox 2]] created by Lightbox's original author.  Many of the photo-only variations of Lightbox are compatible with the original Lightbox HTML, so this is what we'll be creating.  Feel free to tweak and adjust as the instructions for whichever 'box you're using dictates.
-:!: This tutorial assumes that you're already familiar with using SimplePie, including looping through items.  This is only sample code, and you should not create real pages using the (horrid) HTML generated by this example.
