I'll check one out and talk to our webmaster to see if there's something we can do to improve the reading experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photos-on-blog-posts#post-2273184 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:49:31 +0000 Myicitygirl 2273184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: NYTimes.com articles has pictures that you can enlarge, to see detail. If the post pictures were considerably smaller, with the option to enlarge, that would make a big difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photos-on-blog-posts#post-2273183 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:47:15 +0000 mrbee 2273183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>&lt;&lt; NYTimes and Huffington Post have photo slideshows and there is text associated with each photo, usually off to the side. And sometimes a way to hide/expand the text as well. &gt;&gt;</p> <p>@Myicitygirl: Yah but in those cases, the text always goes with the pictures - and their goal is usually to force visitors to click through each photo to generate additional pageviews! Here the pictures don't always go with the text... sometimes the pictures are kind of random.</p> <p>I will try and visualize what you're envisioning! It's a little hard because I generally don't like slideshows, but I'll come back to this tomorrow with an open mind and reread the thread!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photos-on-blog-posts#post-2273182 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:44:22 +0000 Myicitygirl 2273182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: i am picturing a slideshow of images at the top of the post. Is there a way to embed links to specific photos within the blog post, so the reader can click on the photo? Or maybe embed a thumbnail that the reader can expand to see the full photo when they come to it, so the photo is still tied to the specific text? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photos-on-blog-posts#post-2273169 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:36:37 +0000 Myicitygirl 2273169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: NYTimes and Huffington Post have photo slideshows and there is text associated with each photo, usually off to the side. And sometimes a way to hide/expand the text as well. </p> <p>@regberadaisy: I agree photos can really add to the posts, but too many can take away from the ease of reading. </p> <p>Another suggestion would be to make the photos smaller perhaps. When I am reading Hellobee posts on my ipad mini, each photo takes up almost the entire screen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photos-on-blog-posts#post-2273161 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:26:05 +0000 mrbee 2273161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Myicitygirl: Ah interesting!</p> <p>How would the text between the pictures be factored into a slideshow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photos-on-blog-posts#post-2273160 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:23:41 +0000 regberadaisy 2273160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually really like that the pictures are part of the post. I think they tie into the content better that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/photos-on-blog-posts#post-2273157 Tue, 25 Aug 2015 19:19:49 +0000 Myicitygirl 2273157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbee: is there a way to set up pictures included in blog posts to run as a slideshow, where the reader can click through to see each one? I enjoy looking at the pictures in a post, but when there are more than a couple of images, it would be easier to read the text of the post without scrolling down so often. </p>
