Love social sites? We do, too! Your galleries have some great built-in ways for you to tout your photos using some of the most popular services: Twitter, Facebook, and WordPress.
How do I start?
Just click the Share button you see on your gallery pages and select
"Be Social." We'll whisk you to a window containing five different social network options.
FYI: If you're the gallery owner and you don't want your visitors to share your photos this way, disable the Easy Sharing option in the gallery settings. When it's disabled to the public, that button will say Owner Share to you.
If you ever want to edit or revoke permissions to these services, just choose the Your Social Accounts option from the Share button.
Turning it off
If your gallery is protected with a viewing password, we'll hide the Be Social feature from the Share button.
Similarly, disabling external linking will prevent sharing on some services, though you'll still be able to post to Facebook and Twitter.
Advanced settings
At the bottom of the Be Social box you can click the Advanced Settings button to open up a slew of detailed options. Not all of these settings apply to all services, but you can mouse over them to see which ones do.
-
Image Size: Pick the size of the image you post from thumbnails to large. Dimensions?
-
Link Style: When your image is clicked, you can have it open in all its glory in the lightbox, nestled in the gallery view, or one step from purchase in the shopping cart.
-
Shorten Links: You can opt for shortened links to save space on your posts, or keep them full-sized to take advantage of our great NiceNames feature. We give everyone a http://smu.gs address but Business account holders can use Bit.Ly Pro if they prefer. Set that up in the Discovery tab of your Account Settings, under "Sharing."
-
Include Geo Location: You can include a photo's geotagging when you post to Facebook and Twitter, so your images can be pinned on a map.
-
Include Keywords: Leave this option to "Yes" to make sure the keywords get posted along with your pics.
-
Alignment: Those cute sample diagrams show how your posted images will play along with the text you've typed.
