  How do you offer a link to an enlarged view, in a new window, of an image by clicking on the image?

  OK I’m back. These links will show you how, but it is not really considered a good idea since many don’t like all the new windows popping up.

  Thank you for taking the time on this issue for me. And for the links.

  I don’t understand why it’s considered “bad form” to do so, but in any case I found a way to do it that doesn’t open a new window. Just click the image and give it the link. It doesn’t open a new window this way.

  Again,

  Thank you.

  P.S. I should have found the answer via a search, but I tell you WordPress and its forum is rather difficult to get around in, and my excuse is I’m a newbie at it all. I had used Moveable Type for years until my server upgraded and made it impossible for this technically ignorant individual to post on my blog there. Moveable Type, once you have it set up, is easy–almost automatic when posting.

  You’re welcome and welcome to WordPress. I agree the forums and FAQ’s could use some work. Hopefully at some point.
