Media Actions - email, enquire, promote and social bookmarking

The Media Actions are special tools for the users to work with media.
Users can email media (photos, posts, articles, properties etc.) to friends, enquire, use social bookmarkings or promote. This generates a lot of exposure for your content and allows an interaction of website visitor and owner.
Media Features are available on Show Media Pages, meaning the full page the media (photo, blog post, real estate property etc.) is displayed on.

You can choose and select the kind of media actions per media type on any show media page.
For instance, in order to select the media actions for your blog posts go to any uploaded blog post (click on it) and then click Edit Page at the top of your page. This loads all content features with Edit tools for the blog post show media page. Go to Media Actions and click Edit. This will load the settings window where you can select the media actions you would like to have on all posts.
Please note that the media actions are set per media type: The media actions you choose to display on posts will be on every blog post. The settings for a photo will apply for all photos etc.

Email this
All media items can be emailed to one or several email addresses. Users don’t have to be signed in to do this.
Go to the media item you want to email (click on the photo, the article, property etc.) and click “Email to a friend”. Fill in the required information (the email address you want to send the media item to, your name and your email address which will not be shared with anyone). Click send and the email will be sent. In order to email the media item to several email addresses, separate those by comma.

Enquire
To get in touch with the provider of an uploaded media item, users can send a message through the “Enquire” feature. This is particularly interesting for community sites with uploaded content from different users or authors. Potential clients or interested visitors might want to enquire about a property, an article or a photo or drop a personal note to the provider.
Click “Enquire” on the show media page of the particular media item and fill in the required details. Click send and your message will be sent to the provider. The provider’s email address will not be shown in order to ensure privacy but will receive emails through the enquire feature. The provider has then the option to contact the sender. You don’t have to be signed in to send an enquiry.

Social Bokmarking - Save to delicious, digg and stumble
Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet. In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. Users can submit photos, blog posts, articles etc. they find very interesting directly to three very popular social bookmarking services. This can generate a lot of traffic to your site.

Promote
People can promote a media item they like very much by clicking Promote. Users don't have to be signed in to do this.
