<div>Did you notice some changes that went live today? We now have a new, simpler navigation bar!  Here&#8217;s a quick overview of the tools available to you within the new navigation bar located at the top of your Webs account page.</div>
</div>
</div>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s New?</strong></p>
<ul>

			<div class="post-info">Posted by <span class="author vcard"><span class="fn"><a href="http://blog.webs.com/author/kirk/" title="Posts by Kirk" rel="author">Kirk</a></span></span> on <span class="date published time" title="2011-10-27T17:25:52-0500">October 27, 2011</span>  | <span class="post-comments"><a href="http://blog.webs.com/2011/10/27/use-your-website-not-flickr-to-build-an-online-photo-gallery/#comments">9 Comments &raquo;</a></span> </div><p><img class="alignnone" title="Webs Photos" src="http://staticthumbs.freewebs.com/Apps/2/banner.png" alt="" width="523" height="79" /><br />
Whether you’re a photographer, a personal trainer, a freelance graphic designer, a jeweler, or any other type of small business owner, you want to highlight your best work on your website.</p>
<p>Why keep photos on your website rather than on a photo site like Flickr? A serious business must keep photos of products and services on the company website for one simple reason: a website is where sales are made!</p>
<p>The <a href="http://members.webs.com/s/appstore/app?app=photos"  target="_blank">Webs Photo Gallery App</a> is the easiest way to create a visually appealing photo gallery on a website.</p>
<p><strong>The Photo Gallery App is customizable, user-friendly, and dynamic:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Group photos into albums; organize albums into categories</li>
<li>Upload multiple photos at one time</li>
<li>Rotate, crop, resize, and recolor photos within the app</li>
<li>Give each photo a title and caption</li>
<li>Let others (like members or moderators) add photos</li>
<li>Choose whether or not to let people comment on photos</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What will the Photo Gallery look like to my site visitors?</strong></p>
<p>In a word: sophisticated. You can set your photo albums to play as slideshows (with the option to go full-screen) if you want to dazzle viewers with your amazing portfolios or product lines. If you’d rather emphasize communication and engagement, set your albums as “social galleries” with comments enabled. Learn more by watching the following video:</p>

<p>Starting a small business is a dream for many people, but fear of the unknown or even the unfamiliar can keep that dream from becoming a reality.  Not knowing how to attract customers, create a small business website or engage in marketing a small business can hold even the most enthusiastic would be entrepreneur back. Here are seven tips to help you get started on your dream of owning your own small business.</p>
<h4>1. Do What You Know</h4>
<p>Start with a small business product or idea that you know something about.  Do you see a need for a product or service that others need? Maybe you are passionate about a hobby? Now might be the best time to take that passion and turn it into a blooming business. For example, if you are a photographer, consider opening a camera shop or photography service. Keep in mind, if you know about the product or service you are selling and can share your passion on the topic, it will be much easier for you to makes sales and grow. Network with others that have the same interests and you will have ways to promote your business and may even find your customers within your social circle. <a href="http://blog.webs.com/2011/10/24/how-to-build-a-business-7-tips-for-small-business-success/#more-1010"  class="more-link">Read Full Article</a></p>

<p><strong><em>Looking to create your own personal portfolio website? Here&#8217;re a few tips to help you get started:</em></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Brand yourself</strong> – it is important for any organization to create a strong brand image. For a portfolio website, this can be achieved by clearly displaying your name. In this example,  Bill used his name as the website’s title and his picture as his logo.  If you have a tagline that describes your philosophy, it is also a good idea to add this to your portfolio page to give more depth and personality to the website. <a href="http://blog.webs.com/2011/10/19/example-site-wednesday-bill-greenwood/#more-1004"  class="more-link">Read Full Article</a></li>
