Gigi Photography Blog on TypePad
After the success of the Allison Rodgers Photography Blog on TypePad, I really didn't know what to expect. As luck would have it, that success continued. To begin with, the ARP blog has been featured on the TypePad homepage (I linked to the ARP story there, just in case TypePad decided to rotate their images). After that, however, I had a number of requests from people on TypePad. It's really amazing that there are so many photography-focused blogs on TypePad. I never would have imagined!
In any case, though I've had quite a few requests, a number of them are still in the investigation or planning stages, but one of them has actually rolled out some changes: The Gigi Photography Blog. Gillian - Gigi herself - contacted me about making some changes similar to those made at ARP. Namely, she liked the drop-down menus that we had put into place, as well as updating the sidebars to make some more room for her photo content and we even included the comments right on the home page and the other entry listing pages (the monthly archives, since she doesn't have categories on her blog).
To do this, we needed to upgrade her account to the pro level, since the advanced templates aren't available to any of the lesser accounts. Luckily, TypePad makes this a really painless process. Painless for everything but the checkbook, that is (and even there it's not too bad - costing just a bit more over a plus account. Just visit the account info tab on the control panel and follow the upgrade/downgrade steps. Within a few minutes, you'll be all set!
After we had the ability to make the changes to an advanced template set, implementing the changes was a breeze, and it means that Gillian can continue to blog about her adventures in photography, just as she always has - something that was of paramount importance. Whether you are a photographer or just want to get the word out about your business and need a little help, let me know how I can help you to make things work just right for you.
