I agree with JoAnn that you should drop the text link and link the image instead. I can help you with that if that's what you want. One step at a time Ruby your doing great and learning at the same time.:)

...And, all the menu buttons have this blue bottom border now (on the current works page):
a:link, a:visited{text-decoration:none; color:#416CE5; border-bottom:1px solid #416CE5;}


Another Colorbox user had this same issue:

As Jo Ann mentioned... the blue text links over the image are unsightly (besides being almost too small to read), and most people would expect the thumbnail itself to be clickable.
Maybe someone familiar with Colorbox can help you get it working without having to have the .jpg file names across the thumbnails. ;)

Eric, you read minds, don't you? Just as I was typing this, you were offering help :lol:

OMG, I'm so frustrated! I had to leave and when I came back, I found all these messages... thank you all for them.

So, the first thing I did was go take a look at the other thread about removing the blue lines. I followed instructions given there. And, then, Roly, I put in the code that you provided, which is just a little different than before. BUT NOW, the photo won't enlarge again.

Now, I'm more confused than ever. I don't know whether removing "style" from HTML or using this code caused this, but I don't know where to go or how to back out of this.

The code I provided needed to be tweaked where it says
src="myimagename_thumb_nail.jpg"
You need to Use the "Add Files" tool (Ctrl +alt + f ) and add the thumbnail image to your site. You'll want to make a small one so it loads fast. Now tweak the code I provide to match the name of your thumbnail image.:)

Hi Roly, So, here's my HTML code:

<a title="Colorado Fields, 18x36, oil" class="example1" href="colorbox/images/colorado_fields.jpg"><img width="127px" height="87px" alt=""src="colorado_fields_thumbnail.jpg"></a>

And I'm attaching a screen shot of Add Files.

This still doesn't enlarge!:/

Roly, I copied this code and removed what I had and pasted yours in. I still can't get this to enlarge. Is it enlarging on your system? Do you think that by removing the style code affected this?
