Microstock Services / Re: Free Pattern Preview Bookmarklet
« on: November 04, 2010, 17:27 »A quick question. Would contributors making images intended for use on web pages as backgrounds be able to include your bookmarklet next to their images so buyers have instant access to it or do buyers need to install your software first?
Thanks for the interest, Mark. In principal yes, you can embed it directly on a webpage where the tileable image has been posted. You just need to create a hyperlink and as the location put the abracadabra text from the original post at oksancia.com (see the iPad installation). However on practice your microstock agency may not allow crating hyperlinks of his kind. In particular, it is not possible at iStockphoto. So better buyers have this bookmarklet installed.
What you can do for sure, is to refer to the original post http://www.oksancia.com/pp below the image you sell. Alternatively you may place the instructions how to install the bookmarklet on your own blog/website/etc and refer to your own resource Of course I would appreciate hyperlinks to the original post from your blog
