Everyone,
We are trying to setup a main landing page for BZ. For now we are testing it here:
https://dev.bellazon.com/blog/
Can you please log in so I can assign the appropriate privs so you can poke around.
Also if you could post some thoughts here as to what we can post (e.g oscars, SI Swimsuit, VSFS, anything you think people would be interested in reading).
Let me know if you would be interested in writing content for the frontpage, I will provide some compensation for content (at least at the begining).
Any ideas/feedback are appreicated. Thanks.

^I've logged in MD! I have alot of different ideas as to what we can post and would be happy to help ![]()
We can post galleries about winners of Oscar night, red carpet fashion, the vanity fair after party (alot of models)
Milan fashion week just ended, but we could recap that along with New york fashion week.
Model street style could be a good post, or maybe a post about model moms (Adriana, Candice, Behati, etc)

Great ideas, feel free to start writing stuff up. Once we have enough content I will make the site live and delete all the current fillers.
So you can get some formatting examples/ideas by going here and you can implement them in your own "posts" (not pages)
https://dev.bellazon.com/blog/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=page
For example Typography: https://dev.bellazon.com/blog/typography/
ShortCodes: https://dev.bellazon.com/blog/shortcode/
You will add the new content here in the posts section:
https://dev.bellazon.com/blog/wp-admin/edit.php

^I have some ideas now should I input them into the site? Or would you rather I wait?

Love it! It wouldn't let me login, but I was still able to look around.

Now is a good time, im fixing up a few bugs with a developer but as far as content goes the sooner the better.

What error message does it give you? I need to fix any log in issues.

I wasn't given any error msg, it simply wouldn't let me click on the login link and when I did nothing happened

Do you see anything here?

Sounds like fun, I'd be happy to help wherever I can. ![]()
At the moment though, I'm getting a 'wrong credentials' alert when I try to log in.

Maybe your * is not liked. Can you try with your email? Otherwise just log in here:
https://dev.bellazon.com/main/
and then it should auto log you into the blog as well.

It works fine when I log in with my email. Thanks MD! ![]()
I'll try and have a crack at writing a bit of content as soon as possible.

Nice posts, a couple of things. So when you create a gallery it normally shows up as:
[gallery ids="1216,1209,1210,1211,1212,1213,1214,1215"]
Can you please add: envira="true"
So that it looks like this:
[gallery envira="true" ids="1216,1209,1210,1211,1212,1213,1214,1215"]
That way it shows up as a nice lightbox gallery instead of sending you to a separate page.
The alternative is at the very bottom left of the dashboard you should see a "Gallery" and then click "add new" and then make sure the "Envira Default Gallery" is selected and say "Create Gallery". Once you have uploaded the pictures and click "Publish" on the right side you should see the shortcode which will look something like this: [envira-gallery id="1228"]
Then you can simply copy and paste that anywhere you want in your post.
Also I think we should always try to link back to the forum if possible, so if we are talking about VS angels we should try to link to the VS general discussion or to the model threads in particular. The good skin one, I dont think there is anything to link to so its fine. People can comment in WP directly if they want to discuss.
Anyways looks good
trying to figure out how to make it on the top carousel.

Ok so to make it show up on the carousel when you make the posts, under the tags simply select the #FEATURED and it will show up there. Looks good ![]()
Also for youtube embeds you can either do what you did and put it directly in the post or under the post page there is a "Format" on the middle right and you can select "video" post and at the bottom you can embed the youtube URL and it will show up as a full screen youtube post.

Forgot to ask, but is there any "regular" member that you all think would be good at creating content? We can invite them to help out if they wish. Let me know if you have any ideas.

I can think of a few who'd be great, but I'm not sure how many of them still visit us on a regular basis. Will check and get back. ![]()

^ You are a fantastic writer so I think you should do it as well!
