	BTW, there seems to be a bug with the lightbox effect. Seemingly 
randomly, the effect won't work (i.e the image will load as if it 
was a simple link), or worse it will try to open an animation in a 
lightbox! Unfortunately, I can't tell you more since I can't find a 
way to reproduce the problem reliably (although it has happened 
several times now).
