I was reading this article: http://freelanceswitch.com/money/9-tips-for-creating-and-maximizing-a-steady-income-stream-by-selling-stock/ and came across this:

Sites like iStockPhoto and FlashDen offer collection or lightbox features, allowing you to create groups of items and then link off to those groups. So you might create a “XML Templates” public collection, create a graphic for it and then link to it at the bottom of every item of yours that is an XML Template. You could even go one step further and partner with another author to do this.

What does this mean? can we make groups and show them to others? and how?

I saw DS doing it using the bookmarks. I think he created bookmarks of groups of his items and then links with pictures to these bookmarks. Not sure if he still does though. I think he can answer that himself :D

Here’s a sample of how I do with the video players: http://activeden.net/collections/32557-video-players

Basically you create a new collection, name it as you please, than link to it. Remember to add the appropriate files to it too. :)

yeah I wondered how much that would eat, cant you host them somewhere else as portfolios looked so much neater that way…

Did you notice any difference in sales or items being noticed more that werent usually etc..?
