It’s loading for me too. It’s a little slow though. Perhaps you need to reduce the load size of the page? Otherwise looks great!

Hi, welcome to SS! Your site looks great!
Jo
Hi Mike and welcome! Look forward to seeing the rest of your site.
Jo
Maybe someone else can jump in and advise more. I’m out of ideas for now.
Jo
I like the square thumbs because it is more uniform. I also don’t like the mix of upright and horizontal thumbs. I don’t mind the thumbs being cut a little personally. To me they are just a teaser.
Site is looking great!
Jo
That I don’t know I’m afraid. I “think” I don’t have that problem because I ticked square thumbs… somewhere in the settings if I recall.
Jo
My pleasure. Hope it helps.

Yes, I think it works, but I don’t know how to write the short code for image category in order to insert it in the content of the home page.
Sorry I should have mentioned that you can use “amr shortcode any widget” to insert the gallery into a page. 😀

Hi, I don’t know too much about this but try increasing the time to timeout. It helps with uploading large files over slow internet speeds. Here are mine…
max_execution_time = 600 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in seconds
max_input_time = 120 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend parsing request dataMight be a little overkill but it did help me.

Hi and welcome!
That’s a great start 🙂

I use a “Random” and “Latest” photo gallery on my site but I disabled the big image popup. I don’t like it personally. Maybe you can set a gallery up with SYXtra but use the SS featured images as a parameter? In other words, use the “SYXtra Thumbnails” widget but select “Symbiostock Featured Images” under category. See if that works for you.
Jo
That is correct. It does only work with galleries generated by the SYXtra plugin. Make sure you create the galleries using the SYXtra widgets so you get the popup. The code works together but not separately.

I think my point about possible confusion has been made. It’s not about being wrong or right but rather removing potential problems. I prefer to remove as many as possible early on.
A writer will wonder which dash/hyphen/underscore it might be even though your browser will only except – or _. When it comes to printing stationery you may even draw attention to the fact by using an — (—, Em dash) to make it clear in the type font that the domain name is broken by a hyphen. A lot of people will ask if the Hyphen is the “Minus” key or something else when told verbally.
There is one further small little problem. Hyphenated words may be broken onto a new line if the end of the line is reached. It can mean you could actually get this… http://www.mydomain-
name.comThe domain name is now broken. It is a slight problem but one nevertheless. Notice how the board has automatically treated half of the name as a domain by creating a link and the rest as text.
Again, I’ve stated what can be an issue and the rest is a matter of opinion and preference. It is good to be made aware of things in order to make an informed decision.

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 –.
As always this is just a personal opinion and I always think to the future with possible issues. I like to keep things simple for clients. The most important thing I learnt in my education was to assume that the client knows nothing and is ignorant (not in a bad way). This way you explain everything to him/her and make it easy to access your services.
