How to Fix Lightbox Effect for Blogger

Last week, I noticed a link to the updated Blogger interface at the top of the page. To tell the truth, I didnt like it at first.. and I couldn't work with it.. I changed it back to the old interface many times.. till I finally got used to it... I also used the new template designer to update My blogger design: colors, Background, Font..  etc.

Anyways, I then started to make a new post when I suddenly noticed... LIGHTBOX EFFECT IS NOT WORKING :O

yah it's normal as I have updated theblogger template , so I must re-followed the steps to add the LightBox effect from my previous post "How to add Lightbox effect to Blogger".. but it was still not working :(

here in this post I will show you How I fixed it using the same Script and CSS files in my previous post.
LightBox Effect



Instructions:

Step 1:

  Login to your Blogger with its new interface, and click on "Template" as it is shown below:


 Step 2:
    Click on "Edit HTML" button under you "Live on Blog" preview image:


Step 3:
   Click on "Proceed" button if prompted:


Step 4:
   In the "Edit HTML" box, search for "]]></b:skin>" and paste the following classes from the CSS File right before it:

     /*start css lightbox*/
     /* LightBox */
     #jquery-overlay{position:absolute;

          top:0;left:0;z-index:90;
          width:100%;height:500px}
     #jquery-lightbox

          {position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;
           z-index:100;text-align:center;line-height:0}
     #jquery-lightbox a,#jquery-lightbox a:hove
r
          {border:none}
     #jquery-lightbox a img{border:none}
     #lightbox-container-image-box

          {position:relative;background-color:#fff;
           width:250px;height:250px;margin:0 auto}
     #lightbox-container-image{padding:10px}
     #lightbox-loading{position:absolute;top:40%;left:0%;

          height:25%;width:100%;text-align:center;
          line-height:0}
     #lightbox-nav{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;

          height:100%;width:100%;z-index:10}
     #lightbox-container-image-box > #lightbox-nav{left:0}
     #lightbox-nav a{outline:none}
     #lightbox-nav-btnPrev,#lightbox-nav-btnNext    

          {width:49%;height:100%;zoom:1;display:block}
     #lightbox-nav-btnPrev{left:0;float:left}
     #lightbox-nav-btnNext{right:0;float:right}
     #lightbox-container-image-data-box

          {font:10px Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;
           background-color:#fff;margin:0 auto;
           line-height:1.4em;overflow:auto;
           width:100%;padding:0 10px 0}
     #lightbox-container-image-data

          {padding:0 10px;color:#666}
     #lightbox-container-image-data

     #lightbox-image-details    
          {width:70%;float:left;text-align:left}
     #lightbox-image-details-caption{font-weight:bold}
     #lightbox-image-details-currentNumber    

          {display:block;clear:left;padding-bottom:1.0em}
     #lightbox-secNav-btnClose{width:66px;float:right;

           padding-bottom:0.7em}
      /*end lightbox css*/


Step 5:
   Again, search in "Edit HTML" box but this time search for "</head>" and paste the following script tags right before it:

<!--Start lightbox -->

<script
src='http://lightbox-blogger.googlecode.com/files/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>
<script
src='http://lightbox-blogger.googlecode.com/files/lightbox.min.js' type='text/javascript'/>

<!--End lightbox scripts -->
