What size images should I use? (This is not for your portfolio.)

We recommend using 3 x 2 image ratio, i.e. 450 x 225 pixels. Don't forget to save them as a jpeg or png as RGB.


If you follow this criteria your images will be looking the best they can on front page rotators and on the entries on the site.
I want to add my event to the calendar, what should I do?

Great! We want your events!


We recommend that you search for our location first. If you don't find it then you need to add the location of your event into our database. Go to Create Content -> Select Location and fill out the form.

Once you have that made, go back to the Create Content -> and select Event

Complete the form and hit save and you are done. Make sure that you complete as much of the form as possible. This will allow users to find your information better.
I want to add a gallery or portfolio online. How do I do it?

Currently, Spacetaker members have access to online portfolios which include the ability to post images, videos, and audio into an online gallery system. If you are not a member join and receive all of the benefits and networking Spacetaker has to offer.

 
We are working towards offering a single online gallery for our non-members and it should be available in the next couple of weeks. We look forward to growing our features for our users!
 
What Browser should I use?

We recommend using the most recent version of Firefox.
It can be downloaded at http://www.firefox.com and it is free.
