Embedding images could put a huge strain on your web server. I’m not sure that the host companies would appreciate that.
That’s a point agreed. But a controlled embedding could help sites to get the necessary attention in the beginning.
Yes I prefer sales too but the genie is already out of the bottle.
I doubt I would make every image available for embedding, but it is actually a great marketing tool if you think longer about it. I just think the marketing tool is in the wrong hands (Getty). The good thing about embedding is that you actually keep control over your images so if you change your mind you can switch it off. You can set the conditions where embedding is allowed and where not.Cathys site isn’t responsive major drawback compared to any Symbiosite. Christine already explained the missing network possibilities. The loupe is nice but the rest leaves me pretty unimpressed Symbiostock is a lot better and free.
Setting up a site is not enough!
But setting up a site and take a break and let Google slowly index your site is totally okay!
If it comes to self-hosting and Symbiostock I always thought in years not months. I did self-hosting before Symbiostock because of that I probably had realistic expectations right from the start. Hosting is so cheap just let your site ripe for a while and if your interested come back with fresh and new marketing ideas everything is ready to go.
I love Symbiostock regardless of sales and will ever do!I really believe that it would be very different! We all have the same background we are individuals with feelings and long-term strategies in opposite to the soulless corporate-owned agencies with short-term strategies.
There is a very easy solution to get more people into Symbiostock – Give Symbiostock Agencies capacity!
If we have the possibilities to invite non-self-hosting-artists to join our site ( in a more classic agency way but with way better conditions for the artists) we could grow much faster.
There will always been artist which doesn’t want self-host regardless how easy we make it.
For example I a have niche-Symbiostock which hosts only regional content from my home area, I could invite other photographers from my area to host their regional content on my site.Thanks Leo for the reply
I followed the instructions on: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com
But it still doesn’t work for me hopefully lucato chimes in.I did replace the po-file in the language-folder in the symbiostock-theme but it didn’t change anything. I also set the language from my site in the wp-config from en-EN to de-DE (I created a German translation therefore de-DE for German language). What do I miss?
I wouldn’t mind hotlinking. I would assume it’s good for SEO and marketing.
Where have I to place the new created default.po – file do I have to rename it?
Awesome! Have to check it out! 🙂
I think you can just add a normal captcha WordPress-Plugin…
