Is anyone else finding that some of their images look very "soft" in the preview with the watermark.  I keep finding myself opening the originals in photoshop to check that they are as sharp as I think

Having had some anomalies come up when I was doing keyword search I have a request/suggestion.

If anyone is linked to me and notices anything obviously wrong with my keyword results please let me know, I am fully aware things do not always come out how I intend.

Would anyone object if we made this a general thing about letting each other know?  Sometimes words just need to be made into a phrase rather than listed singly to make them right

It is not exactly policing each other but when you are linked to someone else and a client is searching you want things to look right

I seem to have broken the log-in/register link at the top of the page.  I have added another log in for now but the drop down that everyone else gets seems to go to the EULA in a different page for me

I have the most recent download and am using child theme.  If anyone has any ideas as to what I might have done I would appreciate hearing them - and yes, I know I have broken it - again!

When I look at it in Firebug it says

<li class="login_register" data-target="#symbiostock_member_modal" data-toggle="modal">
<a href="http://stockimages.kerioak.com/end-user-license-agreement/" title="Login / Register">
</li>


But so do most others seem to refer to the EULA when I look at theirs and they get the login/register dropdown page

If wanted I will start putting together a FAQ page and post it here, adding to it as others come up with hints, tips, information etc.


WATERMARKS

Decide on your watermark and put it in place before you upload your first image.  Images are marked as you process them, once processed you have to re-upload images to change the watermark on them

Your watermark should be a transparent .png file 522 x 522 pixels.  If you do not wish to create your own the images will still be watermarked with the default interlinking SS watermark

ftp it to: http://stockimages.kerioak.com/wp-content/themes/symbiostock/inc/classes/image-processor/

Then go to your back-end Symbiostock page, Settings, and in the third option box down where it says underneath

"Transparent PNG image (522 x 522px). If not supplied, default watermark (Symbiostock S) will be used."

change the default watermark name to the name of your watermark

"symbiostock-watermark.png"  to "....yourwatermarksname-deletedots....png"
Save

WORDPRESS LOGIN NAME - NAME ON IMAGES

When you get to the stage of customers viewing your thumbnails if they click on the magnifying glass your name will come up on the image.  It is strongly recommended that you add a name other than your admin identity. 

To do this go to "Users" "My Profile" then scroll down to
     
Username     ... possibly admin or whatever you chose when you created Wordpress ....   Usernames cannot be changed.
First Name    
Last Name    
Nickname (required)      ....  add the name you wish to appear with your images here ..........
Display name publicly as   ....  select it in the dropdown box ..

Wondered if Leo (and others) would like to see how we are getting on so those of us that are are working with his theme could demonstrate how it is going, maybe we could add it here with comments such as

Things I need to do before going live:
  Get lots more images up
  Link to other people and get links back
  Pretty the site up and get all the "paperwork" sorted

Things I would like at some point
  Option to sell "extended" licence
  Cookie box, I don't know about the US but in the UK (Europe?) all sites should now state they use cookies and if you don't like it please leave - well words to that effect.  (http://www.ico.org.uk/for_organisations/privacy_and_electronic_communications/the_guide/cookies)  or I can do as I have done elsewhere and just add a note to the front page

My unfinished site is at www.stockimages.kerioak.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thought it might be useful to add more information

Host:  Justhost.com  (just needed php.ini edited, works fine otherwise)
Want to network - Yes
Current networks added  as these were the first so I could try them out and they all show results from my site
Photomining
Stompstock
Backyard
Ruchos
Clipartimages

Leo has asked me to do a tutorial on installing Wordpress for those who have not used it before.  As I use Justhost I can only go by their install procedure which is very easy, I would imagine most cPanels are similar

1.  This is the JH cPanel  - think of it as a library of "things" , you select an item to open it and see what is inside


2.The simple scripts page opens - you may be able to use this with other sites without having Justhost, I do not know


3.  Tell it  you want to install -


4.  Tell it where you want to install (if you have subdomains you can choose)

Q. Why do I install in the root rather than a file called Wordpress or something ?
A.  So that the url reads www.mysite.com and not www.mysite.com/wordpress

Hope this helps someone and gives them the confidence to get going.  I think all the other information you need is in Leo's tutorial videos

I am really looking forward to this being released and trying it out once Leo is happy with it.  Is it worth uploading images to webspace in anticipation  or will they need to be uploaded though the programme itself?
