I try to change my headers every time we take pictures, so that everyone can take a quick peek at what happened at the last event! Every now then i change the style as well, just to spice things up! Great idea all around!

Sometimes I can’t keep up with the sharesite but every couple of months I will change it up… Great tips! Maybe I’ll try to do that more often. I also like to send a group email with a link to the site just to say “hey, come see what we’re up to”. I have a lot of friends and family that are too lazy to register (or don’t want to for whatever reason) so that keeps the non-member types interested too

Thank you for sharing the wonderful tips. I do like changing the Share Site Styles once in a while. But I am fall inlove with the simplicity of black&white and red backround. I think I need to update my share site really soon. Rachel, Thank you for sharing your wonderful idea.

Looove my share site. I change the featured pictures pretty regular, plus add pictures to the site as a whole. I can’t wait for Christmas because I’ll be changing my site colors to one of the great Christmas colors. Love the advice!!
