Howdy All,

I was using Livebooks for the last year and my overall impression of it was positive. But after some no-brainer analysis, I decided that the cost/income-generated ratio was too out of whack and that I would prefer to have the ability to completely offload fulfillment. Right now, I'm using Zenfolio (still in the trial phase). So far, it was super easy to setup...and using Lightroom's Zenfolio Export feature is a real time saver. But the big selling point for me is that the fact that I can use MPix as my lab. We will see how it goes...does anyone have any negative experience (or positive) with Zenfolio that I should be aware of? If you have a moment, check out my site - I have always valued DPC'ers feedback!

On another note, my wife requested a calendar of waterfall shots that i took from Ricketts Glen, in PA. After some research, I went with LuLu... Again, the calendar setup was a breeze and I am pretty happy with the results. Does anyone have any other calendar creation experience?

I used Zenfolio a few years ago..and the thing that turned me off was the lack of ability to customize the CSS code. I havent kep up with it so I don't know if they allow you to now. One other thing i noticed was that the traffic to my site wasnt as great as when i was with Smugmug. I think the popular photos section of Smug is nice and it give you a chance to self promote your work and have others see it as well...just my 2c...

Thanks! Increased traffic is a good thing...I'll probably explore smugmug some more. As for having the ability to customize CSS, I don't remember seeing that as an option in Zenfolio, but I may have missed it.

Thanks for the info.
