We designed this site for NorthCentralWrestling.com, a local high school wrestling team here in Spokane Washington. On this site we used multiple technologies and plugins to create the desired effect. We used Prototype-Windows for the popup effect for both pictures and html content.We also used Plogger (an open-source photo management plugin) for the photos on the site.
    The pictures on the main page are linked to thumbnails created by Plogger when the coach uploaded the photos. This site was created with the Coach in mind. He wanted to be able to add and edit content himself so templates were created and he has been able to login to the site via FTP using a program from Adobe called Contribute.
    Contribute is an advanced WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) web editor that allows the coach to make both simple and complex changes to page content and structure and then upload those changes without ever having to write a single line of code. Contribute is not the best option out there for all situations, but is has seemed to work quite well in this situation.
