SUBSCRIBERS - Please read

Sat, 19 May 2012 16:46:57 -0500

When you are logged in as a subscriber, the digital items detail will still record a price. Ex. Price: 1.95. This cost does NOT apply to subscribers.

When you click on the Download link, a box will pop up that asks, "This will cost a download. Do you wish to continue?" Click "Yes." (Annual subscribers have 500 downloads. Monthly subscribers have 30.)

You do NOT need a subscription to purchase individual images. Just send them to the cart. You don't have to be a member of PayPal to pay for the images.....you can use a credit card or check.

The "free" subscription is not being used as apparentlly there was some confusion in upgrading to a paid subscription. This will NOT interfere with purchasing individual images.

Individual designer/photographer's work is not included in the subscriptions, but must be purchased individually. The download link will not appear.

UPGRADING SITE

Sat, 19 May 2012 16:46:57 -0500

We are upgrading the site.....

Rather than inconvenience you and shut it down while we work, the website will be open, but a little askew at times. Hope to have it completed soon. Thanks for your patience.

Trouble Signing Up?

Sat, 19 May 2012 16:46:57 -0500

PLEASE READ: If you enter the information for a subscription, but don't follow through, a notice will appear that the email is already taken when you return to the site and you are unable to subscribe.

There is a "glich" in the program.
You cannot continue to subscribe from that same email address until it is cleared. Please contact churchgalleries@comcast.net. The "glich" will be deleted and you will be able to subscribe. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. The software developer is working on the problem. Thank you for your patience.

CONTRIBUTOR-DESIGNER IMAGES

Sat, 19 May 2012 16:46:57 -0500

CHURCH galleries encourages the creative talents of designers, artists, photographers, church media volunteers, etc., inviting them to become contributors to the site. Often their beatiful images, especially those that relate to a particular text, are seen only at a single Sunday worship.  Their participation on this website offers these creative people the opportunity to display their work and earn some compensation for all their efforts.

They set their own prices. Their images are not included in the subscriptions unless they have been donated.  In order for the contributors to receive payment, the images must be sent to the cart and paid for individually.

A separate category is being developed. Right now, to view these images, type in "designer or contributor" in the search feature. Although few in number, many have been very popular.

If you have photographs or powerpoint images, do sign up and display your work with the many churches who use CHURCH galleries on a weekly basis.  After approval, you are all set to go. It is just that easy,

IMPORTANT: The work you submit must be your originals. CHURCH galleries will not assume any liability for copyright infringements.

NEW COLLECTION

Sat, 19 May 2012 16:46:57 -0500

Have just receieved a beautiful collection of photos and will be uploading them onto the website over the next week.....flowers, landscapes, etc. Their major category will be photo fillers.

Can't find what you are looking for on the search feature?

Sat, 19 May 2012 16:46:57 -0500

Be sure you use NO punction in the search feature. Ex: Do not use the apostraphe in Valentine's Day, instead Valentines Day.

Still working on getting in all the tags for the images. If the image you desire does not appear after you enter a descriptive word in the search feature, go directly to the category and take a look. Thank you.
