Galleries?

[ayaandjudah]

Well I just created galleries at Scrapbook.com and mesoscrappy. I'll do club keepsake later.

I'd really love to get more feedback on my LOs. Hopefully it will happen there as I never ever got any views at DST.

See I hear of so many people at scrapbook.com getting tons of comments. I tried it the first time I heard of that here and got nothing. Weird.

When you upload don't upload to the digital gallery...just the general gallery.

crap....there go all the LOs I just updated to the digital gallery

for me... it's not about the number of comments I receive, it's about the views... not everyone leaves love in galleries, but spend time just looking at layouts to find kits they may be interested in or find inspiration from a layout.

and yes like Nikki said... don't upload to the digital layouts gallery at SB, just the general "layout" gallery

I use SB, DST, LYM, MSS, and SSD, plus everything goes on Flickr. oh, and the occasional store site

I upload to SSD, DST, DSA, MSS, and LYM. SSD is the only site where I get regular views and comments. I occasionally get a comment here and there at DST and MSS. I almost never get comments or views at LYM or DSA. I used to upload everything to MSA, but when they were talking about shutting down the site, I stopped uploading and just haven't gone back.

I try to do this too, though I admit it's a little frustrating at times when you are so diligent about leaving love for others and never get any in return. And yes, I know it's not all about the comments, but let's be honest. Everyone loves feedback, right?

i agree kendall...i leave a lot of love but don't necessarily get it in return which can be frustrating. but i genuinely enjoy commenting so i continue

Totally agree Kendall and Alisa. I have gotten more slack on it over the last year because of my frustration. But, I try to remember that golden rule to "treat others as you wish to be treated".

This. I totally leave comments to random layouts that I love, because I love them and I want the author to know. I don't have any rules about it, if I don't have time, I don't comment for weeks, if I have time, I comment a lot.

I don't expect anything in return, but if you commented dozens of someone's LOs and they never even bother to look at yours, then I get tired, honestly. It's not obligatory of course, if you don't like, don't comment, but sometimes it would would be... nice.

Hopefully I don't sound like a 3-year-old now! There is a little circle of people who comment my LOs here (I only post at SSD), and they are always genuine commens, so I'm actually rather happy with it.

Agreed! Commenting is fun.

I just started a Facebook group for posting layouts, if anyone is interested. I figure that since most of us are on Facebook daily, it might be nice to post and leave love there.

I think if you're looking for comments, then you almost need to play the praise game on the forums, otherwise, I don't expect people to comment on my layouts, even if I leave comments on others'... I go to the open galleries for inspiration and to see if there are new techniques I'd like to try. I think the majority of people find a store they like and browse those galleries tho... I know I do most of my browsing in SSD's gallery because this is my home and where I'm going to like most of the layouts, kwim?

I wish there were "like" buttons in the open galleries, because I'd be more likely to hit "like" than leave a comment on a layout I like, if I'm being honest. That's why I love when my FB friends post their layouts to FB. I just don't think the majority make it a habit of commenting on layouts.
