Edit Your Profile

Down the left hand side of the page there is a heading titled "The Photographers". Under this heading are links to each members profile as they appear on the site. As your profile may be the first thing visitor's click on, I would urge you all to give some consideration as to how your profile reads. This "first impression" of you and your business should come across in a positive and professional manner.

This should be your "shop window" and inform any readers of the service's that you offer and a little about your business in general. I would also request that all profile page copy is written in English. The website can be translated in to other languages as required by the end user.

Please also ensure that you include a valid email address within your profile so as potential clients can contact you.

Thinking of Joining? - Read This First.

Welcome to the Photographers Blog. By joining and regularly contributing to the content of this blog you will raise awareness of the services you have to offer. As I write there are 99 openings left (Google limits this to 100 users at present) and I would like to see a good mix of professionals from around the globe. With this in mind, openings will be restricted at first to just 5 photographers per country.

What you must do.

• All posts and other related text must be written in English.
• Use the default font on all posts to keep the site looking uniform.

What you cannot do.

• Post or link to adult material of any description. This includes posting images, links, references to and the like. If you choose to ignore this, you will be removed from the blog and all posts and links will be deleted.
• You cannot link to external sites that are not relevant to the content. Sure that You Tube video of the guy with his head in the washing machine is funny - but it's not relevant. The same goes for suppliers of photographic equipment. You can mention in you post that such and such a store is selling a lens 30% cheaper than anyone else, but you cannot link to the web page. Any links of this type will be removed without notice.
• Email me requesting help on how to put html code in to your posts - I'm sorry I just do not have time to deal with this. You are more that welcome to post your issue though, and someone may be able to help you.

I will be searching the web and inviting professionals whom I think will benefit the blog to start with, so we get some good people on board quickly.

If your happy with the above terms, please Email me and request to join. I will try to respond to all requests within 24 hours.
