Intro:
This is a question from a newbie amateur designer-wannabe on how to properly create a Magnific Popup. So, this might sound a little noobish, but that's because I'm a newbie.

What I want to know:
I want to know how to create a Magnific Popup, which includes: full HTML structure, where to put the scripts and what are the scripts needed.

What I have done before I came to StackOverflow:
Spent countless hours of trying to implement Magnific Popup, to no avail. The end result that I'm having is just the image, and when I click on it, it redirects me to the link of the image.

Sources:
This is the documentation: http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/documentation.html.
This is what I'm trying to create: http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/ - on the Lightbox Gallery section.

HTML Structure I have tried, and failed:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Magnific Popup core CSS file -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="magnific-popup/magnific-popup.css"> 

<!-- jQuery 1.7.2+ or Zepto.js 1.0+ -->
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script> 

<!-- Magnific Popup core JS file -->
<script src="magnific-popup/jquery.magnific-popup.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<div class="popupgallery">
    <a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8242/8558295633_f34a55c1c6_b.jpg" title="The Cleaner"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8242/8558295633_f34a55c1c6_s.jpg" width="75" height="75"/></a>

</div>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
$(document).ready(function() {

$('.popupgallery').magnificPopup({
    type: 'image',
    closeOnContentClick: true,
    image: {
        verticalFit: false
    }
});

});

</script>
</body>
</html>

Note:
I also tried putting the .js files before </body>, again, to not producing intended results.
I think that I am missing something, I'm just not sure what. In the documentation of Magnific Popup, there are a lot of things I don't understand, but I don't think they are relevant.

I hope someone out there would be kind enough to help me with this query.

Relevant queries:
I can't get magnific-popup animations to work
Pop-up not showing (with magnific-popup)

Just add delegate: 'a' to your jquery function and make sure the img tag contains the full res image while the href contains the thumbnail.

$('.popupgallery').magnificPopup({ 
    type: 'image', 
    delegate: 'a', 
    closeOnContentClick: true, 
    image: { 
        verticalFit: false 
    } 
});
