I am wondering if Steve answered the wrong post ?


Hi Linda

Looks like you are getting there.  There is something strange going on with the search and you have disabled right clicking I think, not sure if that has any effect so I cannot copy it here for others to see if they know the cause.

Network - go to your network page and under Use Symbiostock Network?  select Activate and save.

Now visit other people's sites and follow the links - (this is also a good way of learning how they work) and find a site you would like to link with

Then either type the full address of the site you would like to link to into the box,  or click on one of the links on the directory pages then click on the drop down author box and select author page, then select Author Attributes and Symbiocard, scroll down to get Symbiocard and save it to your computer, then upload it to the space provided and click Update Symbiocards and save the page If you prefer to type in the site address it will collect the symbiocard for you once you update the page.

Just a little thing, but could we please have the default setting for new images as N/A for model and property releases - will save a  little work when editing each image if you are going to make it visible in the public area 

Leo (I think) , you mentioned recently creating searches that would bring up for example wonderbread if you searched for bread.  If I am remembering correctly (cannot find the post) am not sure this is such a good thing as it would bring up, for example female when searching for male and lots of other unwanted search results.

Phrases are much more important, I was looking for mountain yesterday and a bike appeared, I realised it must be a mountain bike but by being used as separate words it was a "wrong" result.   Is there a good way of getting phrases to show up?

I do not have it activated but my similar images show up, that is why I asked what it was for as it did not seem to do anything visible

Mine is in a sub-domain as well

Click on the Bluehost link at the bottom of Leo's post to check their prices if you do not already have a site of your own available (the longer term you sign up for the cheaper it works out as renewals are always more expensive whichever host you choose).

Other than that it is just time, the meta data is read and included.   I set up a test site recently with a 111 images in about two hours BUT I did not check keywords, did only basic categories and did no SEO , it is taking much longer to do it properly on my live site so I have the best chance of doing well at this.

It is a learning curve but if you look to see how many of us are doing this and it is a very new programme I think you will see it is possible.

I have sent you a password from programme by changing the password on your first attempt to see if it helps, will also send it via email. - I received notification of your IE attempt.  I have not received anything from your site

Hi Cidepix, I  tried to register on your site a few minutes ago but have not received a password email yet - could there be a problem with your email settings somewhere?  (I think I put the correct address) as they normally arrive almost by return

Coincidentally I had also just tried a test purchase via Chrome - all went well and the "your licensed images/files" is visible

I am updatung the test site first, SY is still a ticking bomb;)

Hopefully to explode with lots of new clients and sales soon

Author page - seo
Thanks Leo, I tend to forget that the seo is not part of symbiostock, so sorry forgot to trynit.  Took a deep breath, reset it and ny seo data is still intact .(I think.)  and author page has appeared

How do I add my logo so it shows on the symbiocard instead of the SS logo with ladybug?

And I see some people have Symbiostock Network pages with their symbiocards showing. How do I do that?

Hi Cathy
See posts 21 and 22 of this thread, they might help

Hi Cascoly, I did not have my area in the test site either and that worked, cannot work out why this one won't, not putting location in though, the software (google?) will not just accept what I put and wants to add its own imaginary details.
