While we work with SocialGO on completing the final BETA testing of the platform, the LAB has also been having some fun! We've been playing around with developing some new ideas that "may" someday make it into our products. Here's a take on the "photobooth" concept. Just click, take four pictures, and share your montage... contagious!

Here's a quick and easy way to remove the title from the top of your Network. This is useful if you are using a header image or just don't want a title for any reason.

First, go into your Admin Center using the Launch Admin button on the left side of your site:

Second, go into your Ads & Custom HTML section:

Third, copy and past the following CSS into the Page Meta Data section:

<style>

div#header h1 a {
font-size:0;
}

</style>

Last, hit the Update Button, then return to your network, and you are done. Easy!!

GET ON BOARD COMRADES... It's just like "Old Times" at the LAB

Hi Gang,

just wanted to let you know that we are creating a nice library of "how-to" videos for styling your SocialGO site. One of the highlights of these videos will be how to not only how to create fantastic NEW sites, but also how to keep the look and feel of any site that you may have already developed on another platform.

Below are a couple quick screen-grabs from the video, showing how one of our clients has kept a very consistent look between his old site and his new SocialGO site, and thus has removed any "shock" to his members from making the transition. He's also gone one step further by integrating a link button on his new site to direct these members back to the old site for "Archive" purposes after the move has been completed. You will notice as well that the full base of members has made their way over with the help of our Migration tools.

SOCIALGO SITE
