Title: iStock Blog Entries - Help Please...
Post by: 123XXX on September 13, 2010, 10:57
Does anyone happen to know about making blog entries on iStock contributor profiles? I just put one in and it doesn't seem to show up. The only thing that comes up under my blog page now is the title of the entry I made. Is it possible that blog entries need to be approved first by an admin before they will show up on your profile? Also, does anyone happen to know what is the maximum resolution permitted by the system for linked images within a blog posting? Many thanks for any help you can offer on this.

If it's in your own blog, there is no need for approval (unless they have stopped it due to some sort of protest by angry members).

Now, if you are posting in other people's blogs (I don't know if it's possible), then it makes sense that approval is necessary.

I am just posting in my own blog and it was/is my first blog post so it shouldn't be a problem.

Ah, I got it now. My bad. Seems it was a text formatting issue that was causing a problem since I had copied and pasted the text from another program. So I deleted the post and then submitted a new one where I typed the text into the blog post directly and it worked. By the way, does anyone happen to know what the maximum image width is for attached photos in a blog post? Thanks...
