notepad++ won’t work for me. It’s a Windows product.

Can I just edit whatever this php thing is in Word?

I just looked up filezilla. OK, it’s a ftp program. But… I already have Fetch. Is that the same thing, so I can use it instead of getting something else?

OK, I can get them. Assuming they work on a Mac. 🙂

I hope they’re good for something else, since I hate being cluttered up with single-use stuff.

Thanks!

I would download content-image.php with filezilla, edit it with notepad++ and upload it again. Works perfectly for me … I will try to follow Jo Ann’s hints tomorrow as I like the way the date is displayed … right place and very subtle.

Thanks, but… I don’t have either filezilla or notepad, and I still don’t know where to go to get it to start with. Am I out of luck?

You can’t list more than 6 in Featured images. Leo experimented with a larger number but ran into problems (which I don’t recall the details of) and went back to 6.

Hmmm. I have 12 “featured images.” Didn’t do anything special to achieve that, just kept adding more images to that section. And at one time I had more than 12 but decided that was enough.

You can see it here on my home page: http://bestnaturestock.com/

Thanks for that info, Jo Ann. You’ve got it in exactly the right place, and I’d like to do the same.

Now… this next question will show how clueless I am about php.

So… where do you go to change php? I don’t think it’s in the Appearance > Editor section. Is it somewhere in my Bluehost Control Panel?

I’ll be grateful for a tip about that. Several times, people have said “just change this-or-that php to so-and-so” but I never know where to go to do that. Maybe it’s time I learn that. 🙂

Thanks in advance!

The only thing that has bothered me about that Image Updated thingy is the fact that it appears inside my personal box (photo and info section). Makes it look like my personal photo was updated on that date. Doesn’t look like it refers to the main photo on the page at all.

Do others see it in this same spot? If so, does it seem to you like an odd location for that?

I would prefer to keep the double S (as I don’t think that the interwoven S in blue and green are really problematic) … it is just the combination with red, black and white which constitutes unpleasant associations for me.

I couldn’t believe no one had registered StockyImage. There is a StockyImages.com though.

That’s like my experience too, Jo. I went looking for something like naturestock.com or naturephotos.com, but of course both were taken, as were others I had in mind. But by playing around, I discovered bestnaturestock.com was available, so I grabbed it.

Sometimes, you just luck out.

Martha Marks has been photographing North American wildlife for three decades. Her images have appeared in National Geographic’s Birds of North America, Encyclopedia Britannica Online, Birder’s World, Chicago Wilderness Magazine, and dozens of other fine publications. She recently created Martha Marks’ Best Nature Stock Photography (http://bestnaturestock.com/) through Symbiostock as a direct outlet for her images of birds, beasts, bugs, plants, and places.

Thanks, Michele!

I changed the look of the header to mesh more with Symbiostock.net. I think it’s cleaner and has more impact. Hope everyone’s OK with that.

It looks fabulous! I just commented on it there.

This is very impressive work, Shelma. What a great resource for us going forward. Thanks.

Michele, I’m very impressed with what you’ve done with the FB page in such a short itme. It seems to be developed enough now to start promoting to our own FB friends and other networks. Obviously, we’d tell people it’s a new venture that’s growing fast and invite them to “like” the page and watch SYS grow.

Are you ready for this to happen now? Or would you prefer we hold off for a bit? I’ll follow your advice since you’re the one who knows what’s going on behind the scenes.

Thanks again for making this happen. It’s a major step forward in our marketing efforts.

[marthamarksParticipant]

Sigh. Whatever.

[marthamarksParticipant]

So, Cathy, what is this all about?

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 offer crap and call it that, if it makes you happy. As an old friend of mine used to say: Whatever blows your skirt up.

But I do suspect I’m not the only one of the 129 current SYS site owners who was hoping that Symbiostock would raise the bar, not lower it. Hoping it would grow into a powerhouse of impressive sites that would attract buyers because of the combined quality and value of our offerings. Not because of their self-proclaimed crappiness.
