Alison Garrett is the author of the new WP plugin ColorBoxes – and the proprietor of Aliso The Geek¹. one of the principals in Barrett Creative² and is the Interactive Architect at Brave New Media.

ColorBoxes is exceptionally easy to use; it accepts html tags – but if you don’t know anything about html, or think you don’t, just use the WYSIWYG editor (with the “Visual” tab highlighted), write what you want, click the “HTML” tab, and copy (or cut) and paste from the html side of the editing window into one of the colored boxes at the bottom of the editing page.

Colorboxes can easily be found and installed from within the WP Admin Panels: navigate to Plugins | Add New | Search, and when you get to the search window try “Colorboxes” and “Barrett,” since “Colorboxes” alone will return many hits you’re not interested in.

Let’s not forget her other plugins: SimpleMap (shows location of client’s store on map) and the WowHead Sidebar Search. I believe that WOW in WOWHead has something to do with the game “World of Warcraft.”
