I get paid by check monthly - nothing bounced and not problems last 18 months.

I would find it very, very unlikely that this portfolio was generated by one person. An algorithm could be designed to sniff this out...

Nice work - site looks great!
You customized the 3.9 theme, correct? This is a totally different process than every previous version. At v3.9 ktools started using the smarty template system rather than the previous tables, etc, setup. So at least you are working in a more modern template system.

I always get the LCV rejection on photos that I think are really good, interesting photos, but maybe not great stock. I take it as a compliment.

I scanned a few thousands with ScanCafe.com. $.22 each (3000 dpi) if you do 600 at a time. I have a Nikon 4000 scanner, but sending them off is so much easier.
Do you get stock quality?^^ Just curious.
They look really good for scanned images, but microstock quality standards are so absurd, they would never pass for digital. But they still look great for what they are. I like that some are moldy, some are blurry, some are scratched. They are perfectly analog. I think I could get the represented elsewhere. I just have them on my own site right now.

I scanned a couple hundred vintage slides from 40s, 50s, 60s - turned out well. Don't know where to upload them though.

I've not had luck getting scanned slides accepted. Maybe a couple of years ago, but not now. If you get anywhere with this, I'd love to know.

The only issue I see is that previews take a long time to load the first time you look at them. Looks great otherwise. Good job!
I should be putting mine up soon, if I even stop procrastinating.
All previews are basically instant for me, even the first time, FWIW

It's standalone software: http://cmsaccount.com/photostore/overview/It's front end is better than ktools, in my opinion. At least until the next major Ktools version (4). I found the admin kind of crazy and confusing compared to ktools, but I didn't spend much time with it. CMS does seem to add lots of features and front end templates. BTW, this is a great looking site, congratulations!

NOTE THIS: The extended license price changes with the size. So, the extended license is only $5 for small files, and goes up to $35.
$5!

Just because I do travel I know the situation elsewhere and know that ppl in Europe are usually not nearly as friendly as Sicilians. When it comes to subway and safety in big American cities, we all know how dangerous it can be and that your crime rates are something like 25 times higher than for instance in Slovenia. So if some of you feel so safe, than why are you taking detours around the ghettos etc?
"Turn off the TV and talk TO people, not AT them and you may find out that people the world over are actually pretty much the same."
You just couldn't be more wrong, looks like you could do some traveling yourself. I mean how can you even compare ppl of 2 different European countries, for instance someone from Holland and an Italian, or a Scandinavian and a Greek? This are not states man, where ppl are much less the same, you all have thanksgiving etc, some states really stand out, because of the minorities, like Florida, especially Miami, where you can just get that Cuban feel etc. And yeah I do talk TO ppl, I thought that was obvious from my Sicily post.
And guess what, I just booked vacation there, July's SS earnings more than covered it 
Saying you've been to NY and you understand the US is like saying "I've been to Paris, I totally understand Europe!" and Europeans are more or less all the same! This is an attitude that gets ignorantly perpetuated by small minded, uninterested people in the US - "Europeans" are all lumped together. Sounds like you've got a running start at forming an inclusive, interesting worldview, but you easily fall into some very silly generalizations.

You know what I find really interesting? Virtually no American in Texas (and all the states next to the Mexican border or Florida) doesn't speak a word of Spanish. How's that even possible? In my country everybody speaks at least one foreign language and almost everybody living close to the border speaks the other country's language fluently. Doesn't matter wether it's Italian, German, Hungarian, Croatian. I mean you Americans are so business oriented (the American dream!!!), so materialistic, those that don't speak spanish in the areas with large Latin populations are loosing out a lot - coz I know tens of millions of ppl in America don't speak English. Think of all the dollars you're loosing out  . I'd like to at least know a few words so I could mess around with neighbours, coworkers, pool cleaners etc .
BTW don't they call you blancos as well?
Wow, broadly overgeneralize much? I live in a border state. While not everyone is fluent, nearly everyone knows a bit of Spanish, or at least took a couple of years in school. Generally, English is the lingua franca of most transactions here.

I'm from the US, and the term yankee doesn't strike me as perjorative at all. But I'm in the western US and we're further disconnect from Civil War history than the east coast. We were fighting with Native Americans at the time...

Looking back in my email, I did request a demo from them recently, and here's what I got back:
Hi,
I must apologize. We cannot provide you with Stock Media Engine demo for now.
The reason is that we have started major rewrite of our software and there is still no demonstrable version of it.
Nevertheless we can dive into discussion about what you need and what we'll be able to help you with.
Regards,
Ivan.
So nothing to see.

I think I contacted them a while ago and I got back a version of "we're redoing our script so we have nothing to offer right now."
But I could be misremembering that.

I enjoyed the women's World Cup - very good matches. I think Americans tune in to soccer/football every four years for the men's World Cup and are disgusted by the diving, fake injuries and other BS and find it off putting. I don't see that kind of stuff in the league games.
I'm off to play soccer... (I'm American.)

I got this also, and they have indeed long had my information. The wording is bizarre.

This site is running Google AdSense. None of the advertisers are advertising with this site specifically, probably. They are running ads in Google's network, and Google shows the ads. This basically means that you only have to convince Google that this site is a fraud, and the ads and income go away. Individual advertisers won't know what you're talking about.

I saw this and though it was a joke. Great ergonomics! I only want one a little bit...

You could certainly run the ktools script in a subdirectory and make a link in the main blog header that point to it. You'd need to tweak the ktools design to look similar to the blog design, and put a link in the ktools store header back to the blog. Seen this done a bit before.

And now it's gone again - I don't see it anymore! They must be testing something.
Update: I see it in my office, but not at home. Hard to figure out what's going on.
