The next new SHIVSPIX feature is the new SHIVSPIX Gallery. I’ve always found it frustrating that you were redirected to a different site to view images. So I’ve found a way to integrate my images into this SHIVSPIX site.
As you will quickly notice, the new Galleries section is not finished yet, but I wanted to get it running so you could test it out. Please play around and let me know what you think. If there are some things that are confusing or could be improved, definitely let me know.
Here is a quick tour of the new Galleries section:
In the navigation bar, you will see there’s now a lot more under the Galleries tab. Clicking on ‘ORIGINAL GALLERIES’ will take you to the old SHIVSPIX Galleries at www.shivspixgallery.com.
New Archive Home: This is the new home base for my images and allows you to find images organized by collections. At the bottom of the page, you will be able to see which galleries were most recently added or updated.
Lightbox: Create a lightbox of your favorite images. To do this, you will have to create a (free) account so your settings can be saved.
Gallery List: This page will list ALL of the galleries on the site.
Advanced Search: This is something I am very excited to debut. A much much better search feature than the old site has. All images will be tagged by keywords, and have titles and captions, which will be searched by this feature. Type in your names, events, or even dates to search for relevant images.
Cart: You will now be able to purchase images from rowing events directly from the site.
Member Area: Once you sign up for your free member account, you will be able to have your own area that shows your lightboxes, as well as any invitation-only galleries you may have access to.
Sign Up: This section is so you can sign up for your free account.
What do you think?
I am in the process of migrating images and will post updates as galleries are added.
In the meantime, enjoy playing around!
