First of all, WELCOME to the new blog! I am so incredibly excited about this I can hardly stand it! The project has been in the works for a VERY long time! I wanted a new blog, something fresh, classy, and totally my style. I wanted this to incorporate my love for design and and I also wanted it to be 100% UNIQUE! So here is the story of the new DesignBook feature….. It all began on this scrap of paper. It was 3am. As usual, I was sitting on my bed with my roommate Britney and we were discussing blogs and social media (such nerds). We started brainstorming about a new blog and creating something TOTALLY different!…(Click View Full Post!)
As we started getting ideas, we began to talk faster and louder! This was so exciting! I starting drawing and Britney kept brainstorming. We wanted a way for fans to become involved! I follow so many wedding photography blogs and there are some weddings that I particularly LOVE! So what do I do when I want to view those weddings? I search through tons of archives to find that specific post and I drag those images onto my desktop where they sit in a pile of misc. ideas. Brides, photographers, and creative individuals LOVE finding ideas on blogs and so I wanted to make this even easier!
.
So, Brit and I came up with the DESIGNBOOK! The DesignBook is your very own space on the blog to collect your FAVORITES! Simply sign up, login and start collecting your favorite ideas and images! You can even categorize your favorites into different folders! Here is how you start!
Creating your DesignBook:
.
1. Sign up by clicking “Sign Up Now”
.
2. Return to the homepage and enter your Username and Password that you just created
.
3. Click LOGIN and your own personal DesignBook will be on the right hand side of your browser!
.
How to use your DesignBook:
.
Once your Designbook is visible on the right of your browser, it’s simple!
.
Just find an idea or image that you love and hover your mouse cursor over the image. You will see “ADD TO DESIGNBOOK” on the bottom right of the image. Simply Click “ADD TO DESIGN BOOK” and that image will appear in your DesignBook folder!
I am SO excited about the DesignBook because as far as I know, I have never EVER seen anything like it! At least not on a photography blog! So enjoy it and use it! Collect your favorites and have them stored right here on the blog! They will be waiting for you every time you visit! You can even email your DesignBook to a friend and encourage them to start collecting their favorite images as well!
.
So after months of tweaking and reworking, I am proud to present the NEW BLOG and introduce the DesignBook! The amazing people at Flosites were awesome and really took on a challenge when they decided to take on this project! I appreciate their willingness to try something TOTALLY out of the box!! So enjoy the new blog and get excited for Steph and TJ’s wedding! It’s next in line!
.
Ps. I am still in the process of setting up ALL of the past posts since 2008! (whew!) So be patient with me! All of the past weddings that I have posted are up and working so far!
.
Thanks for reading!
