    My site focusstockphoto.net is already a few weeks in the air.The layout is finished. Now I am daily adding images.
    It was fun and also a struggle ( all new to me) and only possible because of the great help I got on this forum. I am happy now with my “own house”and hope many visitors will come along for a cup of coffee and a few downloads.
    I you think my work is adding something to your website, please add me at your network and invite me to do the same.
    I hope we get a happy family like the old days of Istock.

    Great to see your site is live!

    Couple of comments. In the slider, the overlay on the construction image spells photographer “fotographer”. In one example I happened to notice that you don’t include some keywords that I think would be helpful

    http://focusstockphoto.net/image/autumn-hike-nordic-walking/

    netherlands and canal would seem to be important to this image but they’re missing. When something in the scenery, or an activity done a particular way, is specific to an area, it really helps to include that information. I usually include a city or state and an area – for a picture like this one, you might put Friesland, Netherlands, canal, and if there’s a name for that particular canal, add that too. (obviously I’ve no idea where this image is, so I just made up Friesland),

    Thank You Joann for the comment,
    Stupid mistake of course on the homepage !! I will adjust that.
    And about the names; you include this in the title description or keywords ? Or all?
    I saw on your site that you get a bigger image if you hoover the thumbnail. Is this a specific function of the child theme?

    I was referring to keywords including place information – if you think it belongs in the description as well, that’s more a judgment call.

    The hover previews come from the premium plugin – something Leo added in a very recent update

    Hi

    I just thought you might want to know that your site no longer loads for me (I’m in South Africa) unless I hide my IP address. This is the second site in the last few months with this problem.

    I’m wondering if there isn’t something in the settings that people are tweaking. Anyway, just thought I’d let you know. It may be affecting other parts of the world too.

    Jo
