  I have two ‘photo’ blogs with different themes.
  Clicking on an image opens the original in a new page, but on one of them the image is top left with a white background (the usual way I think), but on the other the image is centre screen with a black surround. That I prefer!
  Is it a property of the theme or is there a simple way of ensuring the black background?

  Here http://geordiecam.wordpress.com/ is how I want it to work (click on 1st ship)
  and here http://geordiecamii.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/swans-2012-and-other-things/ is with the white background

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I get the blank white browser window when clicking on the ship on the first link, and when clicking on one of the swans on the second link.

  Perhaps it depends on the browser?
  I just checked and I only get the black surround in Firefox

  Yeah, that seems to be a new Firefox thing. In the source code for the image with the dark background, in the head section, they reference an off-site CSS file:

  I will gradually convert all the site to galleries.
  Strange that both blogs did not behave the same.

  The difference is individually inserted images vs galleries. The dark bg is part of the gallery carousel slideshow.
