Activating the network says you want to be part of the network, not using your site as a stand alone shop. After you activated it you can choose ten sites you would like to network with directly … some think it’s better to have similar content, some decide to choose sites that offer something you don’t have in your own portfolio. You can add a site by downloading the symbiocard of the site you wish to network with directly and upload it to one of your ten network slots.
Ajt will add you to symbiostock.info as soon as he gets aware of your site I guess, same with Steve who also provides a centralized search engine .

Sounds great … could you just give a short description how you have set it up?

[jsfotoParticipant]

Thanks for the update, Jo Ann.
(Great to have you back in the moderation team, btw 🙂 )

Symbiostock should be the old couple. It breeds trust and it is honest and believable. People have bad days, good relationships forgive, forget and move on.

Very well said, Chromaco.

As one happily settled in and still in love, as half of an “old couple” (married 46 years now… to the very same guy), I hope to live long enough to see Symbiostock take on those same “settled in and still in love” characteristics.

I agree, very well said!

🙄 Can’t we get over this? Leo obviously had a very bad day and was more than edgy when he rolled out Symbiostock.com and reasonable debate started here. I hope he learns from that experience and I also hope everyone here can overcome hurt feelings. Now, let’s move on…

When I joined Symbiostock last April the forum was a highly productive place and it was like that for many months. But in the last weeks when I open this forum and MSG having my first coffee in the morning I allways ask myself what might have happended over night.
I really, really would like to get back to productiveness …

[jsfotoParticipant]

Leo, if you are around: Could we have a place where you tell about particular changes in the most recent updates. I know you want to take a break from the forums, which I totally respect. But if we could have just short summaries of the changes you’ve made would be great 🙂

[jsfotoParticipant]

Welcome to the Symbiostock Network … hope you enjoy 🙂

[jsfotoParticipant]

Thanks a lot for your positive posts, Dennis, Jo Ann and Christine … what a relief after the last days … your words bring back my confidence in this great project !

And yes, I also check symbiostock.com all day, because I’m so curious 😀

Thanks – btw I never thanked you for your kind words during that MSG storm!

You’re very welcome … I’m glad to hear it helped a bit.

I did (already some hours ago) including theme toggling …

[jsfotoParticipant]

I tried to get a kind of minimal design on my site, especially on my single image pages … so I decided to put the documentation of my code changes (some of them done with help of others like Jo-Ann and Martha) here. I hope there are some useful lines of code 😀

Here is an example of an single image page:

And this is the documentation of code changes:

^ I agree.

As I’ve mentioned before, IMHO, the SYM.com main page should have stock agency look of the SYM network, big image slider, show feature images from network contributors (that can be also based in that suggestion of ad budget #4), have the free network image, video, illustration, whatever of the week to attract buyers, visitor and spread SYM.com, and for the wiki, want to be a contributor, and so on, just small links on the bottom. As pointing to the forum, download and so on. As THP said, the SYM.org should be for contributor segment.

Well, just my opinion.

I totally agree, that would be a reasonable way to use the .com and .org domains.
And I like the idea of an image slider, featured images, etc on symbiostock.com .

[jsfotoParticipant]

Thanks a lot for this detailed information, Dennis. This is very useful for the network, I think.

[jsfotoParticipant]

Could you explain how exactly you get “green images” … I tried but I never managed to get them green, just yellow … perhaps you could make one step by step example. If I could manage to get them green by Yoast, I would like to do exactly what you do … 3-5 images a day, which will accumulate nicely over the year.
Again: Thanks a lot for your positive thread!
