Making use of the album feature on the network

I have just spent an entertaining few minutes clicking through the photograph albums that Laara Copley-Smith has created on the network. Laara has uploaded a number of photographs featuring her work and then grouped some of them together with the album option that's available to every member on their own photo page. And seeing them got me thinking has to how you can use the albums to show potential clients your work. As you can see from this page titled Flower & Foliage in the left hand column you have a few options available to you, these are: - View Slideshow This creates a full screen slideshow that slow rotates through the images you have in the album. And because this slideshow has its own page you can link directly to it, or even include it in an email. - Get embed code This provides you with a short block of code that you can include in any web page elsewhere on the internet, for example like this.

There are a number of features built into the display that allows people to click on through to the full page and view the images in better quality, but also get in touch with the person behind the pics. And as a final little extra twist, if someone sees your images and loves them so much they want to feature the same smaller player on their own website they can, plus their readers are only a click away from finding out more about the person behind the photographs. - Share This is a great little feature that allows you to not only email someone directly from the page to tell them about the album, but if you have an account at other websites such as MySpace, Twitter or Facebook you can update these internet outposts quickly and easily with your new photo album (the same applies for blog and forum posts). One of the things to think about with this new world of online media is that you can produce one piece of work, in one destination, and with a couple of clicks it can be finding new readers and creating interesting connections in different spots around the internet.

  • Hi Craig, this thread is so helpful plus it has led me to look further at other members work. Just left a comment for Laara about her stunning presentation. Thanks for all your time and expertise.

"I have a 6ft pair of Niwakis, wish i’d had them years before I did. I initially got the 8fts and immediately realised they would be a pain for the majority of hedges I used to cut. I think they are brilliant just make sure they are seated properly.…"

"I wouldn't cut a hedge without one. Anything over 6' you should get with 3 adjustable legs, otherwise they can be unstable if you lean - but positioned correctly they are the only way.

"Tripods are better than any other ladder that's a fact. You can cut hedges that are lower than the ladder but it is more awkward, I have a 6ft amd a 12 foot been using both for the last 15yrs and haven't come stuck yet. Believe me once you've had…"

Does moss always = full renovation

Hi.Does a mossey lawn always equal a full lawn renovation? Once you kill (or control) moss the customer is left with brown / black dead moss all over their lawn. So then its needs scarifying to rake it up, then usually a preseed fert, seed and top…
