Love social networking? We do, too! SmugMug galleries have some great built-in ways for you to share photos using some of the most popular services: Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, and tumblr.
How do I start?
If the gallery owner allows this type of sharing, you'll see a Share button on gallery pages. Click it and select "Be Social." You'll see a new area with 4 tabs, each with a different social network option.
Twitter
Facebook
First you'll need to sign in and authorize the connection. Enter your Facebook login details, then click Connect. Now you're ready to post.
When you use this feature, make sure that your gallery settings allow external linking of your images.
Next, make sure that the image you want to represent your gallery is shown on the right. If you want to change this, just hit the little arrow buttons to step to the next one. When you're ready, type a message to accompany the link to your gallery.
When you're done, click Share on facebook. Your friends will see your thumbnail, text, and a link to see more photos from your gallery.
FriendFeed
Click the arrow buttons to choose the photo you want to share, previewed on the right. For FriendFeed, you can even select one of three image sizes for the image you're posting: Thumbnail, Small, or Medium.
Enter the text you want to appear on your update into the Title field. By default we'll fill in the photo caption. Then just type in your FriendFeed login information and click Share on friendfeed. It's that simple!
tumblr
Make sure the image you want to post is shown on the right, and choose an image size (Thumbnail, Small, or Medium). Just type your text into the caption field along with your tumblr account login info.
When you're done, hit Share on tumblr. Easy as pie, and your friends will see your image and a link to the gallery.
