How embarassing : I just read Leo's post where he emphasizes how important it is to switch the permalink-setting from "default" to "post name".
I changed my settings some minutes ago. Could anybody please add my site http://www.flashstockphoto.com to his network for testing. "Portrait" would be a good keyword  for a test search. Please tell me whether my images can be found by the network search and whether my logo is visible on the the left side of the search results.

Thanks Terry ... it's nice to get positive feedback 

Sorry for being unclear ... my site is technically alive. I just wanted to clarify that my texts might have some mistakes, which soon will be corrected by a native speaker. And I will upload more images within the next days and weeks. So if you like please add me to the list.

My site isn't ready (my next step will be asking a native speaker to check my texts) but it is grown enough to say hello here now:

MSG name: jsfoto
Website: Flashstockphoto
URL: http://www.flashstockphoto.com
Main topics: Portfolio including beauty, fashion, people, backgrounds and various
What  you're looking for: Complimentary images from around the world

If you would like to give me some feedback I would be very happy, even more if you would like to link to my site.

Thanks a lot. You gave me the idea to check whether the status of the image was "live". It was not. Now I'm looking for a possibilty to bulk edit the live status.
But I'm very reliefed now ... I thought I crashed my site

My site is looking a bit weird right now because I don't manage to get my popular images centered below the slightshow ... but those are minor problems 

I just realized that in my recent uploads (I don't know yet starting from which date) my images appear on my site but without the Picture Sizes and "Go to licenses and images " right of it

This is an example:
http://www.flashstockphoto.com/?image=teenage-girl-looking-thoughtful-about-troubles-5

Any ideas, I am quite disturbed right now

I thought it will be simple, if you know how to do it 
Thanks a lot Cathy!

It helps  to know that these files are not pre-existing ... because I really thought I'm too dumb to find them    
I guess I can customize the files of Leo, keep the names of the files as they are and than upload to the img-directory within the symbiostock theme, right? Or do I have to upload them in other directories?

I just downloaded your templates Leo to see what I haven't branded yet. Where can I find network-logo and logo-for-paypal-checkout. I searched all my directories online but couln't find these two files anywhere.

After I have moved my site to bluehost it is starting to take shape and I thought it's time to say officaly Hello in the forum 
Although there is a lot of work to do I am totally excited that it is allready technically live. I really think Symbiostock is a great idea and I hope it will grow quickly.
So if anyone wants to visit my site www.flashstockphoto.com and likes to give me some feedback or suggestions for improvement you are very welcome.

Okay, thanks Leo

Great! That works ... strange enough: it works after copying styles.css in the main theme not in the child theme.
But it has still no effect if I create a text-widget and insert it in home-page (below content) or home page bottom row.
I have set a static page: Parent is Sample Page, Template is Default Template ... anything wrong with that perhaps?

Leo, I just created an admin-account for you ... I hope the password reached you by mail?

Yes, i have the closing bracket in my styles.css
I just missed to copy it here.

Okay, I got a css-code:

           .symbiostock-featured {
        display: block;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    text-align: center;
        padding-left: 10px

but it has no effect. I fear I have done some basic mistake somewhere. For example it has no effect if i create a text-widget and insert it in home-page (below content) or home page bottom row.
Leo, you offered some days ago to have a look at my site, when i create an admin account for you. It would be great if you are still willing to have a look and see, whether there is a fundamental wrong setting.

Okay I'll try 

No, I don't mean the order. Right now they show in a vertical column, six images one below the other. But I would like to arrange the six images in three columns and two rows, if it is possible.

Featured Images is working now in my sidebar, but I get all images in a vertical column and I don't find an editing area, where I can edit how the photos are arranged.

Great. Thanks for the fast help again, Leo

I just try to install the featured image widget in the sidebar. As I didn't find the category "featured images" I created this category and added an image to it. But it does not appear in the sidebar ... the headline "featured images" is there, but no image below it. Could anyone give me a hint what I missed to do.

Decision is made: I gonna move my site to bluehost. Are there any ideas what I can save and export und how I can make sure that not everything what I did so far has to be donne again?
And what is your way to install a theme update?
Sorry for asking so simple questions but wordpress is totally new to me-.

Thanks for the detailed answer Andrzej. 1und1 gives me 90M, not more. So I guess I should move to bluehost. Is it really only $4,95/month at bluehost or do I have to buy a more expensive package there?

watermark is unchanged ... but yes pixel-sizes were smaller yesterday. after downsizing the image I can process sucessfully. so everything is fine when I update to the latest version of the theme if I understood you right Leo?

yesterday I processed 6,02 MB secussfully, today I tried 1,75 MB and 7,42 MB and both are not processes (not even the 1,75 MB-file without the bigger one)

Hi Leo,
I really appreciate your quick answers a lot! Thank you so much. I would like to try the latest version, but last time I updated the theme all customization was gone. Is there a way to avoid this?
