Kodak Picture of the Day smugmug community

rutt

Show off you Kodak pictures of the day!

I have created a smugmug community just this. Make a Kodak Picture of the Day gallery containing your winners and add it to this community.

Here are the steps:

1. Visit http://smugmug.com/community/KPotD and join it
2. Make a gallery for your winners
3. Move (copies of) your winners into the new gallery
4. Customize the gallery, make sure it's public, and make it a part of the KPotD community
5. Consider turning comments on in this gallery customizaiton. These are great shots, right? You're going to get praise. Why not let everyone see it?

You can comment of others galleries!

Perhaps a kind moderator will stick this post somewhere.

Added an important missing step to the instructions. Your KPotD gallery must be public to show up in the community home page.

rutt

So far, we have 6 members, but ehughes hasn't added a public gallery, so we only have 5 galleries. I did my best to invite all the KPotD winners I could dig up, but sometimes it wasn't so easy to do.

This only takes a few minutes to do and when we are done, it will be a nice thing and help to bring eyeballs to your site. So, please, join, and add a gallery of your winners.

Nir

"Hall of Fame" Rutt?

OK, give me a few minutes...

Nir, it looks great! And it really shows why this is good to do. My favorite one of yours, well I'd never seen it before somehow.

Now let's get some more people to add their galleries. And let's get Andy to add his three missing winners. Please, Andy, please.

You said there were 10 and I'm only counting 7 unless the guy with the camera in Times Square is a POTD and not documentation? Or is the white dog the last winner?

It's be cool if you at least moved the winners to the start of the gallery so they were easier to see.

i'm sorry, rutt - my gallery is sorted the way i want it to be, it all makes sense.

there are eight in the gallery: natasha snow, umbrella man, streaming light, haircut, peekaboo, wife, ir river scene, babe ruth/yankee stadium. i'm searching for the two other ones, i have it narrowed down but i'm looking for the confirmations.

ok?

Oh, Streaming Light. I missed it altogether. Really I did. What a grat shot (and what a great 30 degree diagonal!)

See, that's what I'm talking about. The pictures of the signs and the other stuff just make the great shots hard to see. It sells you short.

You can always make a special gallery just for this and move copies into it.

But then, my total smugmug sales are only in the single digits and I want to outsource my marketing to you. Who am I to tell you? *Sigh*

RUTT: THAT'S ALMOST A SMILEY!!!!!!!!


Wow.

Andy, think of me as a fan, potential customer, and focus group of 1, not some smart aleck who's trying to tell you what to do.

Pretty Cool Rutt
Thanks for setting it up. Cool community.

Consider turning comments on in the customizaiton of your KPotD gallery. These are great shots, right? You're going to get praise. Why not let everyone see it?

i'm considering turning mine off

DeanMcM

I actually have mine on for this gallery. But all of my other galleries are off. I have had some pretty threatening comments in the past.

dean, in your control panel, you can turn comment approval "on" and the comments won't get posted until you approve them

Thanks Andy! Did not know that.

Andy, I don't see the one of the lady eating the strawberry. That was a winner wasn't it?

I looked for this feature and could not find it. Can you be more specific about how to find it. I think "comment approval" would be a good idea. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Andy. I found it now.I had been to that page too. Must need my eyes checked.

Thanks Rutt, for putting this together. I saw some great shots that I had never seen before. Great idea!

I have an Award Winners Gallery that has my KPOTD in it, can I add that gallery? I dont want to make a public gallery on my site with just one pic in it.

All of the pics in the gallery have won something.

Of course you can do whatever you want. I know about this issue with making a public gallery just to have it show up in the community. I posted some suggestions about this.

For now, you have two choices:

1. Just put your Award Winners Gallery in the KPotD community. I think it would be nice, though if you made clear which was the KPotD shot and what date it was.
2. We can play the trick we played for Andy. There is a "feature" of smugmug now that allows a private gallery to be featured in the community. Look closely and you'll see that Andy's gallery is featured, but not shown below. It's sort of a smugmug bug, but I doubt they'll ever fix it and if they do, they will probably have a better way for a private gallery to show up in a community. If you want to do this, PM me and we'll set it up.

GREAPER

I added the gallery. The KPOTD is the first shot, and the date is in the caption.
