The new Workspace blogging feature allows you to set up a blog as part of your Workspace website OR send blog posts directly to your Blogger or Wordpress (self hosted) blog. This is a really useful feature as once you've uploaded and sorted images in Workspace, you can immediately post them as a slideshow or storyboard on your blog - making the Workspace workflow even smarter! It's a quick and easy way to get your images out in front of people online. Here's how it works (click on the images to view them larger): First you need to set up the blogging feature. You can do this under the SETTINGS To View More >>

Case in point... Our own Danny married Natalie recently. Needless to say they hired a photographer ... but if they hadn't? They have heaps of photos To View More >>

Forums are about community... Sharing ideas, asking questions, providing feedback. We've just integrated our forums with our Queensberry and Photojunction Facebook pages to harness the power of one of the largest online communities in the world. On both pages, if you want to ask a question go to the 'Discussions' tab (highlighted in the graphic). If you want to offer feedback (or give someone else's idea a boost) go to the 'Feedback' tab. As well as these we're starting work on building a more user-friendly knowledge base. Look forward to hanging out with you more on Facebook :) Cheers, Nigel To View More >>
