Add social networking
Friday, March 27th, 2009The best way to draw people to your gallery is through social networking. Many people share their favorite websites using Twitter, Digg, Delicius, and other social networking sites.
We’ve learned that just being mentioned in a popular blog can draw thousands of viewers — people who might otherwise miss your exhibition.
Here’s how to add a sharing menu to your menu bar. You will be changing the menu bar for an entire gallery, not just one exhibition inside a gallery.
Go to your administration pages, and click on the Galleries tab. Chose Edit to the far right of the name of the gallery you want to change, and you’ll see an Edit Gallery form. Then, click on Show/Hide Advanced Features. This will let you edit the menu bar.
Click the checkbox before Use custom menu bar?
You can chose each menu item in your menu. Make the last item Share.
Click on Save when you’re done. If you look at your gallery, you’ll the Share item in your menu bar. It’s the one with the “+” in a box.
That’s all you have to do, and people will be able to tell their friends and followers about your exhibition with a single click.
