Just go to your Photos tab from your Startpage and open the Album containing the photo.

Then hover your mouse pointer over the photo you wish to rotate and two rotation arrows will appear:

Click on the arrow for the direction you wish to rotate in and the photo will be rotated:

All your public documents will appear in your Documents tab on your Lifesite and you can easily share them with others using the great etribes Share option.

Introducing the new StartPage

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 14:11:16 +0000

We've just completed a major overhaul of the Startpage to make it easier to use and more feature-rich. The new StartPage is a move away from a simple admin page, towards becoming "your place online"; a place where you can store and access your photos, videos, documents, links and contacts, privately and securely online and, if you choose, publish them to your LifeSite.

The new etribes StartPage

Most of the key features of your etribes account, such making a post, uploading photos and adding contacts, can now be accessed in a single click from your Startpage. The core functionality is grouped under three simple headings - Favourites (your links) Content (your stuff) and Manage (your account etc.) - though you can still manage your content via the blue navigation bar (as before). We hope you enjoy the new look and feel!

New themes: Make your personal website stand out!

Thu, 23 Nov 2006 11:00:40 +0000

We've just added a brand new range of professional-looking themes to etribes - so you can pick the look and feel that suits your personal website. In addition to the relaxing autumn theme, there's a fiery option (flames) and a selection of flowery wedding-type themes - for the many happy couples that use etribes.

We will be adding more themes over the coming months. If you have any specific requests - please contact us (using the button to the right) and let us know!

New feature: Upload & backup your videos

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 13:04:59 +0000

You can now upload videos to your etribes LifeSite straight from your PC! The feature works in exactly the same way as the photo upload service - only it takes a little bit longer, depending on your connection. For large videos, we recommend you make a cup of tea, or read through our Tips section ;)

Enhancements: Bigger and Better Profile

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:39:22 +0000

On Monday we separated out the Blog from the Profile on etribes LifeSites. This means you now have a full page to talk about yourself, while maintaining a cut-down version on your Blog. Yes - we're excited too (can you tell?).

Your new Profile tab

We'll soon be adding a range of Homepage options, so that members can use their LifeSite as just a Profile, as a Blog or as an aggregation of all their content - Profile, Blog, Photos Videos etc. Watch this space!

Enhancements: Tips and mobile video clips

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 16:06:10 +0100

Yesterday we added links to the Tips section on the StartPage - so you can now actually do things, like make a post or upload photos, right after having found out how to. Small change, but it all counts!

The Tips section on your StartPage

In response to some pretty swift feedback we've also tweaked our mobile video clip feature to work better on all mobile phones. We had a few issues with some Motorola and Nokia models but these should be working fine now. Let us know if you think otherwise.

New feature: Text (MMS) videos clips to your website

Mon, 16 Oct 2006 13:07:36 +0100

Fancy sharing a mobile video clip with friends and family? You can now post video clips to your Videos album by simply texting (MMS) them to 07786 200071. Make sure you've added your mobile number to your account.

As always - we know security is important - you can password-protect your clips and email the password to friends and family.

Coming soon: Text (MMS) video clips to your etribes website

Wed, 11 Oct 2006 10:07:15 +0100

You probably spotted the “Videos” tab at the top of your site. Well, from Monday 16th October you’ll be able to text (MMS) videos straight from your mobile phone to your etribes website!

This feature will work in exactly the same way as our “text your photos” service – i.e. simply text your video clip to 07786 200071 (making sure you’ve added your mobile to your etribes account) and then view it in your Videos album.
