I am curious – why are landscape pictures and images that are taken when on holiday so often called travel. Surely travel is when you are actually moving from one place to another (and transport is what you are moved by)
I think it depends on where you go on holiday. Some places are popular tourist destinations (even if they’re home for some people and even though some of the photos are landscapes) but I’d draw a distinction between the fact that you traveled to get there (which means nothing in terms of the image) and whether lots of people travel to see that place 🙂
iStock had rules (at least before they threw them all out and apparently accept anything) that said you had to have something about the business of traveling (suitcases, passports, people in vacation clothing, or packing or …) in the image before you could call it a travel image.
So scenes of lovely places that no one but a local would recognize I’d consider a landscape, even if I’d traveled to get there. I also think it’s very important to have location information in the keywords for anything travel related.
Looking at your site Martha, it appears you’re using Grunion, not Contact form 7
http://wordpress.org/plugins/grunion-contact-form/
If you look at whatever page your have for your contact form, the shortcode in the text should point you to the plugin you used.
Another great new site! Welcome
I like your mixture of large images and small square thumbs in the slider on your home page – best of both worlds.
If you disable the Symbiostock cart plugin, you should get 24 images per page when you search or show a category – right now you have only 10 (a known bug; some people have been able to work around it by setting the maximum number of posts per page in the WordPress settings as an alternative to disabling the cart)
You have some lovely images – welcome.
One thing I noticed on the front page is a mistake in phrasing you might want to change.
“We aim to supply high-quality images for your needs, being them a worldwide advertising campaign or personal blog. ” Probably should be “be they a worldwide…”
Thanks for the update.
It will be great to offer extended licenses (assuming the batch editor lets me apply just licensing changes). I’m still hoping that I can have defaults to apply to all new uploads too.
I appreciate the offer for an updated version of Clean Theme, but I’m now OK with my customized Dragonfly site.
I did donate to Plrang, but really for one thing – the hover previews. And what exists in Andrzej’s global search results would be just fine if it found its way over to the main theme 🙂
Greedy lot, aren’t we? 🙂

To help you find network partners, you can find other sites by specialty, focus or promoted keywords at
http://cascoly.com/symbio/list.asp?list=72I just took a look at this list, and see a number of sites have -1 as the total number of images in cases where I know the sites and they have a lot more than that 🙂
It’ll be a while before you get to this image, I think, so here’s one choice if it’s before the end of January

And a different choice if it’s February to April 🙂

I liked the idea of making the image of the week a special price (all sizes are $2.50 for this week’s IOTW for example), so if it isn’t too much trouble to e-mail us the day before our chosen image goes up, I’d like to run a special for that week on the image when it’s my turn.
And thanks so much for doing the work on the facebook page. It’s much appreciated
I’m babysitting my systems while some massive copying takes place, so I thought I’d use the time to play 🙂
This is not an imaginative edit, just some tonal manipulations to bring a little contrast to to the scene.
You add images to the category “Symbiostock Featured Images”
You can do this via the list of all images or by editing individual images and checking the box for that category. If you have the premium plugin you can add images via the batch editor as a third option.
Once you have images in that category, put the Featured images widget (slider or thumbnails as you prefer) into a sidebar somewhere on your home page (or any other page).
I don’t use it on the home page, but have it on my blog page:
I set up the paypal Sandbox and got it to work.

As far as the Yoast SEO stuff, it needs focus keywords entered when you publish your images. If you end up getting yourself a plugin, you might want to see about including automating that. However, SEO wants unique titles (and thus URLs) so in my case I’ve been taking the time to edit things one by one to get unique entries

Yes, I’ve deactivated all my plug-ins but still getting a blank white screen when I switch to 5.4
I’m not sure what else to do at this stage other than trying a new host.I’m running on Bluehost with PHP 5.4.20 and Symbiostock 2.9.4 so it isn’t likely that changing your host will fix things, IMO.
I’m not sure what could be the reason for your “white screen of death”, but it’s happened to a few other people.
Could this help?

Not to worry 🙂
I marked the report as “read” so nothing will happen.
I don’t use it either – perhaps in addition to suggestions for settings, could someone explain why this became a requirement with 2.9.4 – what problem is it solving for our sites?
It seems as if my site is running fine without it, but there must have been a good reason for including it… 🙂
I haven’t seen this error, and I use Bluehost and have images much larger than 10MB. I notice that you’re not using ImageMagick (top left of your screenshot).
Go to the cPanel in Bluehost and under PhP Configuration, check the box for ImageMagick (it’s down below the radio button choices for which version of Php to use).
Then try and process your uploads again (and you should see that it says “Using ImageMagick (exec enabled). “). I’m not certain that this is the problem, but ImageMagick is a much better image processor, so you should switch.

on http://symbiostock-search.com garden snail finds your images as either the phrase or as separate words
That’s because he made edits to include the individual keywords.
And you’re right, quotes don’t help with the standard wordpress search
