Greetings!
A factoid, if you're interested: week after week, our photo gallery is by far the most popular item in the eZine. People love seeing for themselves what's happening around the industry.
They're usually photos from things we've seen in the previous week when we've had a camera handy.
The photo gallery's a big piece of my strategy for CRM's website moving forward, and we're currently battling with the technical end of revamping it, but there's something to be said for low-tech solutions: if you find you have some photos from an event you attended, consider sending it along for the photo gallery.
It can be good promotion for the event and it's of high interest to the community.
