When you log in to Workspace for the first time, all you need to do to start playing is click the big New Event button at the top of the Dashboard screen, and import some images. But if you really want to see what Workspace can do, I suggest setting up your website first. In the movie, Stephen and Ian (Stephen actually - Ian just gets to interrupt occasionally) will give you an idea of how your site might look. It's so simple you can do it in a few minutes, so why not do it first? Fooling around in Workspace will be a lot more rewarding if you do. 1. Click the Settings button on the Dashboard and choose a website "theme". Don't worry too much which one. You can choose another any time you like. Just don't forget to click Save! 2. Then, scroll down on the same page and enter something in My Workspace Website Address. Something like studioname.queensberryworkspace.com, where "studioname" is the name of your studio*. What you're doing is creating what the geeks call a sub-domain. You'll need to wait a few minutes for it to become active, but now you have a website powered by Queensberry Workspace. If you do nothing else, you have a working website (try uploading some images and see) but it will be very plain… You can juice it up if you do two more simple things: 1. Upload some images to your Image Gallery and share them on your new website. 2. Upload your studio logo. They will only take a minute or two more, and I'll explain how to get your logo up there in my next post. Cheers, Pete PS You only have to enter the studioname bit, not queensberryworkspace.com. No www, capitals, spaces or weird characters either. Once again, don't forget to hit the Save button!

Hi Stewart, If you upload a couple of events, you should begin to see your site take shape with a home page slideshow etc. We are working on watermarking at the moment and it should be available very soon.

Will the performance be improved?... right now it takes several seconds for my site to even begin to load and there not much there right now! Also some kind of watermarking is required to prevent customers from swiping our images/album layouts! Otherwise I really like it and look forward to seeing this develop :-)
