Add me to your mailing list for child themes.  Pretty soon you guys will be selling Symbiostock templates on themeforest!

But he does cross his arms rather naturally doesn't he? 

Okay, now I'm tripping. Do you see a link in the post above.  If you click it does it take you to an Image works site and not just a 404 since I haven't created it yet.  (Just tried on the Mac too!)  How the heck did that happen? 

Edit - okay - whois says they own the "stockphotos.com" domain.  Makes sense...

• How to change the "above header menu" (upper right corner)? Configuration under "Appearance > Menus" has some effect but two menu items that seem to come with the SS theme show up and aren't even listed under "Appearance > Menus". Any ideas?

I believe this was by default called "categories" so make that your active tab.  (or whatever name you have your above header category) If you have items in there you do not want, to remove them you have to expand that bar - see the word "Page" on the right has an arrow beside it, click that arrow and it will expand so you delete that menu item from here.   Then don't forget to "save menu".  These are two things that made me go "duh!" when it took too long to figure out     (Nice red drawing with my finger on the flat mousepad eh!)

I have to say that looking through the categories has been rather inspiring to go out and shoot more - you know like the early days when we would shoot rocks and flowers and bees and sunsets and textures all of those clich� things that you would NEVER submit these days.  I find that I am not that snap happy any more (my kids are almost photo-less!) but maybe having my own categories and no competition I may go back to shooting anything I fancy.

Looking at this it seems to be a problem could be with the watermark... it is looking for the symbiostock watermark and it isn't there, or it is invalid.

Check the directory to see if it is there....

Well - I'm on Godaddy and I think I've made the suggested fixes and I can't get my own watermark to work.  And since v1.17 my photos come up in searches but don't appear on the pages/categories.    I think I will have to wait until version 3.3 because I am such a spaz at all this.

Uh-oh.  I updated to 1.1.7 and now my image categories are empty!

Well, I share the same name with a Mad TV character who is a bit more popular than me in the searches (but I'd say I'm 2nd unless it's cookies) - I don't sport the red sweater but I do resemble her a little at the 5:30 ish mark.

Madtv - Lorraine and her family goes camping

Yeah, it's transparent and 520x520 72 dpi.  Oh well, at least Leo's works.  I had planned to remove the sample photos and start uploading the lot tonight - but better wait until I can figure this out.

Am I doing this the best way - I don't know!

Make a page and save it.

Go to appearance - menu

Check your new page, add to menu

Then you can drag the items in order.  If you want a sub directory you can drag them below that tab and a little to the right - see how my RF STOCK tab has categories but they are indented? 

And DONT FORGET TO SAVE, LOL, have done this many times... scroll down there's a blue box.

May I ask a really stupid question?

When you upload a new version of a theme to Wordpress - that has the same name as the last theme - how do you do it?  Do you uninstall the current theme or does this destroy all the work you have done to date?


And 2nd question.  I also am having trouble with watermark - I seem to remember Cathy mentioning it in another thread but I cannot find.  I just can't understand Steve's help above.  Do I have to log into Godaddy to make suggested changes?

The D7100 has just been released and it is supposed to be wonderful at high iso.  Scott Kelby gave it quite a good review.

I believe the D7000 is being discontinued isn't it?

I went from d200-d7000 and the d7000 felt like a toy in my hands, but it is far more responsive - esp taking shots of flying dancers or sports.  When shooting a dancer in a jump I would miss more shots than I'd get with the D200 and with the D7000 I would get almost all of the shots.  And quite honestly, no matter what they say about camera vs photographer - the newer cameras take better looking photos.  More detail in the dark zones, better contrast, greater dynamic range.  And using the same lenses, the D200 spends more time hunting for focus which equals losing more shots.

Still, it is not about your camera and lenses.
It is about your eye and imagination.

A brilliant mind with a d 200 can produce pictures that can outsell any of those fancy upcomlings with ever so many lenses and megapixels.

Sure, to a point...but I have 2.8 lenses and I have 5.6 lenses and the difference in quality is vast.  Rarely see fringing on the good glass.  Can't shoot a subject like deer with the cheap lenses - they come out of the trees at dusk and the shots are useless for the most part with cheap glass.  Really tough shooting sports and moving subjects (like toddlers/birds) with the slow glass.
