I am having trouble with uploading my photos - it gives a message that they must be a minimum size. What should I do?
You will get this error message if the photo you've uploaded is smaller than the minimum height and width allowed. To avoid this, you'll need to provide a larger image or use photo editing software to increase the size of your photo.


I'd like to include photos of my friends and family. Is this allowed?
We don't allow candid photos, such as vacation, family events, etc., with exception to those specifically related to an outfit or clothing item. Please be sure to note it in the photo description.


One of my photos has been taken down by an Administrator. Why?
MyStyleDiary does not allow celebrity photos of any type in member diaries. Personal photos and snapshots uploaded to Cool Finds or New Outfits must be specifically related to an outfit or clothing item, however, you may upload any snapshot (with exception to celebrity) to your Daily Fix if desired. In the event that a photo is taken down, it will be noted in the photo's absence on your page. For questions, please contact the Webmaster.


Is there a limit to the number of outfit photos and cool finds I can add?
No There is no limit to the number of photos you can add.


My photos are dark and hard to see. How can I take better photos?
The key to good photographs starts with lighting. Natural lighting is generally the best, however, artificial lighting can work well if it is bright and evenly distributed throughout the room. Software is available that can edit photos, including lighting. For more photo tips, please check out the ToolBox article Lights! Camera! Action!, for some tips.


Can I use HTML in my description/messages?
Yes and No. HTML can be harmful and enable a user to change the layout of a page. To ensure the site remains uniform for all guests to the site, we limit your HTML formatting to a few basic formatting options. Areas that allow HTML formatting will provide an HTML designer/editor for adding things like bold, italics, underline, hyperlinks, etc. If you paste HTML in to the designer with elements that are not allowed, they will automatically be stripped from your message. This will often confuse your browser and lock-up its editing abilities.

Adding HTML to regular text boxes will cause an error.


Can I share my StyleDiary with friends?
MyStyleDiary members are encouraged to share their links with other member, friends, etc.


I'd like to comment on other people's outfits and get comments on mine. How can I do this?
MyStyleDiary has a private message system that enables members and guests to interact regarding outfits, etc. You can find a "Send a message about this picture" link under every photo (except thumbnails).
