Kari, thanks for the photo app suggestions; I've been using Gorillacam with my iPhone and will explore the one you mentioned to see if it's better.</p> <p>Greg, I'm looking forward to using my lookfab blog and I appreciate these expanding opportunities and technological advances! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620323 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:07:39 +0000 Kirti 620323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg: I did it!

Just go to those posts and hit "edit". You should see the checkbox for adding that post to your blog near the bottom of the form. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620137 Tue, 15 May 2012 10:05:30 +0000 Kirti 620137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Inge that makes sense! I already played around with the blog settings so was just wondering how to add content. Too bad about older WIWs because it would be great to have them all in one place. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620130 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:57:36 +0000 fashionista 620130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Greg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620120 Tue, 15 May 2012 09:48:21 +0000 Inge 620120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirti, the posts you start on the forum won't automatically appear on your blog. But if you want a post to also be published on your blog, all you have to do is check the "Show this post in my lookfab blog" box at the bottom of the page on which you are composing the post.<br /> I believe it's not possible yet to add older WIWs to your blog.</p> <p>When you log in to lookfab.com and go to your personal blog, just click on "blog settings" in the upper left corner of the page, there you'll find all the options to customize your blog. It's all pretty self-explanatory, and you can always immediately see what you have changed every time you click on an option.</p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620102 Tue, 15 May 2012 07:27:09 +0000 Kirti 620102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just wondering, are there any posts explaining how to start posting on this blog? Will the posts I create on YLF henceforth show up there? Or can I add my older WIWs as well? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620080 Tue, 15 May 2012 05:39:07 +0000 Kirti 620080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Greg, that is such great news </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620078 Tue, 15 May 2012 05:31:23 +0000 AJ 620078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greg, you are FAB! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620026 Tue, 15 May 2012 03:26:18 +0000 Diana 620026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! Thanks, Greg. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620014 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:50:51 +0000 Kari 620014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Modgrl, my photos are not the greatest, but here is what I'd advise when you have a very basic camera:</p> <p>*Think about getting a tripod or mount (they do make them for the iPhone: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;q=tripod+for+iphone" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?.....for+iphone</a>)<br /> Having a firm, stable surface that's between waist and head level helps me make sure I'm getting all of myself in the frame, and is more flattering than having a camera below waist level (hello double chin!)<br /> *If possible, try to take photos in natural light away from shadow. (This is not possible for me most of the year; I take my photos in the morning and my outdoor porch is quite shadowed. I'm not willing to waste time running outside, setting up my large tripod, and fussing with the light. So instead I open the blinds as long as it's not dark and turn on as many lamps as I can.)<br /> * There are apps on the iPhone that will make self-photos easier; I like Camera+ (by Smugmug; many easy editing features and a camera timer.)<br /> * The iPhone is quite good at taking clear macro/up close photos in bright or natural light; perhaps your solution could be to take lots of detail shots (close up of shoes/accessories or the fabric you're wearing) in addition to far-away pics.<br /> * Because I don't have anyone else who takes pictures for me, I pick a couple spots in my house that is as well lighted as possible and has enough room to put the camera on a stable surface, stand against a wall, and not have my head or feet cut off in the photo. That way I always know where to stand and can "pose" in a hurry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-620009 Tue, 15 May 2012 02:42:32 +0000 modgrl 620009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet!! I'd love to solicit a blog post from veteran forum members. How can I improve the quality of my photos? I'm hesitant to do a blog with my crappy iphone photos. </p> <p>Thanks for all your hard work Greg and Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-619881 Tue, 15 May 2012 00:03:37 +0000 Fruitful 619881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very exciting news Greg! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lookfab-blogs-now-open-to-all-active-members#post-619838 Mon, 14 May 2012 23:16:49 +0000 Greg 619838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are opening the beta testing of the new lookfab.com blogging platform to all members at the "active member" level.</p> <p>If you are intrigued by the idea of starting your own outfit blog, head on over to <a href="http://lookfab.com" rel="norewrite">lookfab.com</a> and get started.</p> <p>More info here in the backstage blog: </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/backstage/2012/05/14/now-open-to-active-members-create-your-own-blog/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/backstag.....-own-blog/</a> </p>
