  I maintain http://www.iushorizon.wordpress.com and I am trying to install a lightbox/thickbox that would load automatically. I plan to use it for announcements.
  I’m aware I would more than likely have to upgrade to some premium package.
  To put it simple, what is the cheapest easiest way to add an auto-loading thickbox/lightbox to the website.

  I would really appreciate all help.

  There is no FTP access to wordpress.com blogs and there are no individual plugins. If you purchase the CSS upgrade you can do this https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/popup-box-for-images?replies=11#post-356048

  I actually made a video tutorial for the Thickbox workaround here @ WP.com » Image Thickbox Work Around for WP.com

  Sweet.
  I’ve got the thickbox setup.
  Now, how can I make it activate when the page loads? I’ve researched some onload methods, but none have been successful.
