It’s the old n-dash vs m-dash conundrum, I think.

Found it, I don’t know why I didn’t see it before when I searched it in categories….Thank you!

Maybe the same reason I couldn’t find it until some spelled it out. Symbiostock Featured Images… not the letter F but down the page “S”. OK then, now it works fine. 😉 I don’t think we’re first and won’t be last.

Hyphens are an issue in the real world while not so much online. If you bump into a potential client in person and you don’t have a card with you it becomes cumbersome and potentially lose the client while trying to explain the hyphen and where it is in the name. You also need to make it clear that it is a – not an _ or an…

another factor to remember is that most people will find you thru your images, not your domain, unless you plan to do a lot of print & tv advertising. domain names themselves are less important than they were 10 years ago – consider pond5, dreamstime. eg

I’ll tell you why I love meatballs. Oh wait it was about the forum.

I agree 100% with jsnover. Those are great points, especially her comment about delivering “what most buyers will be expecting”.

And I’m on the long learning curve on this topic too. Good reading all.

Not sure about this part. (I have no fonts so that was easy) And the re-size to page? I’ll have to watch that and see…[Read more]

Try going to appearance > Customize > Symbiostock nav menus

Ah good, I was asking that same question myself. I’ll have to go see if I can do that.

not to mention, you said from the start this is a TEST site that no one in the active areas will ever see….

They might, I’m pretty incompetent at this point and the site is live and active? (but not linked to the SYS network) I’m trying to make it work, PayPal and uploads and menus and…[Read more]

Hey, Pete, do whatever you want. Present yourself to the world any way that works for you. Go ahead and get yourself all “puckered up” because somebody dared question your wisdom or your wit.

To be honest, I don’t give a fig what kind of cameras you use or what kind of images you offer visitors to your site. You are free to…

If the sitename and location isn’t obvious: http://crapstock.com

Is that really and truly the name you want on your site?

Does that name really and truly help the marketing and overall reputation of Symbiostock?

Yes, it’s true I have a sense of…[Read more]

Same as the unable to edit Medium Price, day and a half later, I uploaded, the new image shows fine. I edit and there it is. Also picked up the default settings now, (no vectors, no zip price showing) So I’ll assume it just needed to load and get comfortable at it’s website home or something. 😉
