Reviews

Ok, with all this talk of reviews, I think some of us (or maybe it's just me ) could really use a tutorial on how to do them. Is there a step-by-step post out there? I wrote mine out in Word but I'm not sure what to do next - it's almost 7 pages in Word, can I just paste it into a post here? Or is there a maximum word limit? And oh, the pictures are a different story...

I'm a little slow sometimes....

Well I typed mine in word too, and I'm basically going to put all the pics I want in to into photobucket.. then copy and paste each section up to the part where I want a picture to be, then insert web link and the pic then past the next section (other wise your inserted pics will keep winding up at the bottom of the post, if you do it all at once) but I don't think there's a limit I've seen some reallllllly long ones..

I want to now though-I had a bad experience with a vendor, am I allowed to share that?

this is what i did! but i don't think there's any limit. mine was pretty long & there are some that are even tremendously longer. DEFINETLY do it in word. and ALWAYS save it! the only pain i had was figuring out the photos...but the insert web link is ur best best. u can do it from photobucket, or right off ur desktop(just make SURE they're sized down!) good luck!

this is how i'm doing it too. i finished the writing part last night - all saved in word. i might add the pics in today if i have time, but we'll see. . .i already have all of my photos uploaded to flickr, so i'll just go from there, so that's convenient!

Did the same thing-easiest way is to go back and forth; paste all your word info into the text box and then add the pictures according to where they go. Be warned if its tooo long like mine was with the honeymoon review, you may have to break it into two pieces.

Re: Reviews

There isnt a limit on it. What you do is copy and paste it into the thread, then click post, this way its done and posted. Makes it easier, but upload your photos into photobucket, then you can resize the pictures if you want to once you have uploaded them all. You can use the IMG link that photobucket gives you to post pictures, you DO NOT have to keep hitting 'insert web image' over and over in LIW if you use the IMG link from photobucket.

This is how I did my review. No problemo

OK I have one more dumb question - when you post your review, does the 'view my wedding review' link in your profile automatically come up or do you have to paste it in somewhere?

Just solved it! It pops up automatically!! And thank goodness, because I'm too much of a goofball to figure it out on my own!
