Angela and Alex’s organic farm wedding for Oregon locavores

GloTaryn — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:00:56 +0000

Photos by Lucille VonTron The Glö-Couple (tell us a fun fact about each of you): Angela, resource conservation manager (I’m an emergency preparedness geek) and Alex, recycling program manager (surfer) Celebration Date & Location: 07/29/2012 Mt. Hood Organic Farms Mt. Hood, Oregon, USA Tell us how you got engaged: Alex and I met in 2005 during our graduate school internships for our county’s solid waste division. Our love flourished over a large-scale worm compost system, and adjacent cubicles. We got married after we both settled into our current environmental jobs, and after we had the money! What’s the overall ‘feeling’ you’re aiming for with your celebration: Choosing a gorgeous and comfortable setting for us and our guests, and a setting that was also meaningful, were our top priorities. Gosh, actually – there are so many competing priorities when planning such a big event! Local food was also super important, as was having as close to possible a zero-waste event. The overall feeling we created was being close to nature, and natural. We didn’t decorate (who needs to in such with such a beautiful, tasteful venue in Mt. Hood Organic Farms). Are you adding any fun twists on tradition: Photobooth! A […]

How to collect photos from all of your wedding guests

GloTaryn — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 15:14:12 +0000

It’s no secret that we all get really excited when technology makes yet one more part of wedding planning easier and fun! One thing that I didn’t think about for my own wedding, until it was too late, is how to collect all of the photos that friends and family took during our 4 day event. For weeks after the wedding, I received emails with links to various photo sharing sites – some saved here, some saved there. Of course in my post-festivity state, I wasn’t organized enough to create a directory of all the links. Now, I have no idea where most of the photos are. Epic Fail on my part. But yet again, a group of smart, young, insightful entrepreneurs have created a service that help us solve the problem even before we know it is a problem. Enter Wedding Snap – a new tech company focused on helping your guests collect photos of your celebration in one, streamlined place. Wedding Snap has just released their widget code, which makes it easy for you to incorporate their service right into your Glösite pages. Perfect for sharing all of the photos with friends after your celebration. I asked Michelle […]

It dawned on me today that you might not know about our Glö YouTube Channel. Here you’ll find several helpful how to’s, including: How to add a picture to your Glösite (wedding website) pages and more advanced (but still not difficult) features like: How To add an image that links to another webpage (this is great for registry pages…)

Add a flickr slideshow or photo to your wedding website

GloTaryn — Tue, 24 May 2011 11:00:31 +0000

I’ve written before about adding a Picasa slideshow to your Glö wedding website, but I know that lots of you also use flickr to store all of your fabulous photos. We don’t like anyone to feel left out, so here’s a similar tutorial on how to add a flickr slideshow to your Glösite. This “how to” will focus on adding a slideshow of a particular album I have on flickr, but the same principle applies to adding a slideshow of your photostream or an individual photo. 1) Go to your flickr account and on your photostream, set or album you’d like to add, click on an individual photo. 2) Click on the three dots in the bottom-right corner and choose “View Slideshow” from the pop-up menu 3) This takes you to a black page with your slideshow or photo in the middle. Click on “Share” in the top-right corner of this page 4) You can either select the code from the “Grab HTML code” box or else you can click on “customize HTML code” below to change the size of your slideshow 4b) If you click on “customize HTML code” make your selections (I like the medium size for Glösites) […]

Adding a Picasa slideshow to your Glosite

GloTaryn — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 16:00:26 +0000

UPDATE: Now that Picasa is linked to Google+, some of the features have changed slightly. The directions below are still valid if you work via the old Picasa web interface, which you can find but cutting and pasting the original link into your browser: https://picasaweb.google.com/home I’ve had a few questions lately about how to add a Picasa slideshow to one of your Glösite pages. In case others are wondering the same thing, here’s a quick video that should help. (for some reason, the video appears to go faster than the recording, but I hope it’s close enough to make sense!) To recap, the key steps are: 1) Ensure your album (or image) has the right visibility settings: Either Public or Visible to anyone with the link 2) grab the embed code from the lower-right side of the picasa page for that album or image 3) Paste the embed code onto your Glösite page – either into the widget box or using the “html” button of the text editor 4) Save your page, and view!
