I have seen a few other people include blogs on their site - are there SEO benefits in commenting on each other's pictures and blogs?

Usually when I see a picture I would like to comment on there is no comment box

That IS looking good, nice work

Not using Fair Trade no, did not manage to incorporate that into my wording

I emailed a lot of my address book the other week and let them know about the site and asked them to pass it on to anyone and everyone they thought might be interested which bought a lot of additional traffic, and today  I am contacting web-designers etc to start getting the word out about us.  No point in sitting and waiting I don't think, we need to go out and let potential customers know about us.

I don't do "social networking" maybe will need to start so am trying other methods

How are others going about this ?

I looked at the magnifier plug ins but they were magnifying the preview image not the original.  I think it would need to be the original that was magnified to show full quality?

What about a "compare" option so clients can see two (or more) images side by side if they cannot decide from different people, would this be practical?

Are the images bigger than those you have uploaded before?

Hi Jean

That is a standard warning.  If I remember rightly you are trying to overwrite something in the root which is where I usually put them anyway.

Are you using an add-on or sub-domain - I use sub-domains and you can install a new wordpress in each one (I actually have three wordpress accounts on mine, one of the main domain and one each on two sub-domains)

As long as you are sure you are loading it onto the subdomain
this was a tutorial I created which may or may not help

The main UK "free" advertising paper is currently offering free online advertising, not sure if it will work for overseas.  I have added a couple of ads, they are not showing up yet buy when they do will decide whether to add more.  As they last for 28 days thought it was worth trying.  As usual competing against all the agencies

Sorry about all the categories, I do like to be thorough, and separating out dog breeds probably has not helped but I do have quite a lot of them.  Am now on. V 2.4.2.

That sounds a good option if someone could incorporate it.  I have been trying to find what r rated images are , without much sucess just lots of r's.  I assume the same as we use on a photraphy forum I am on , NSW  -not safe for work.  Something you might not be happy for everyone to see on your computer

Unless we can have a filter when someone searches for a blue tit I think would rather they have a pretty little feathered bird appear.

At the moment the links are pretty loose - everyone links how they wish but it will only take one person to link to a suspect site (and I don't mean yours) and it could show up everywhere and once in the directory it is very difficult to get out of it without almost deleting your own site (as I found when I tried to stop my test site showing up)

Maybe those with  the types of images you are talking about could link to each other and into the network but the network not link out to them - sort of creating a second circle ?  Does that make sense?

Perhaps we could put some kind of rating warning within the symbiocards ?

.............  and it has obviously scared someone as they have posted a reply saying it won't work !  Little do they know.

Someone from the Alamy forum picked it up and posted there so I have responded to  some of their remarks and said they are welcome to come and visit us here.

I cannot find it when I look for it on my site - either missing something or it is a setting we can change in the symbiostock pages ?
