Sugar Editorial Picks

If you have an OnSugar blog, you may have been annoyed in the past that only users registered with OnSugar could leave comments, but happily, now anyone can leave them!
Just go into your site settings and you'll now see a check box for "allow anonymous comments."
Check it (since by default, it's unchecked so that you'd only be able to get comments from registered users), and you'll be ready to unleash your blog into the commenting universe.

Welcoming and embracing change is a good thing — especially when we're dealing with technology and mainly, the redesign of websites. You've probably noticed that geeksugar has received a new, sleeker look. The new layout guarantees more beautiful galleries, slideshows, enhanced search tools and faster browsing.

If you have a blog (and who doesn't these days) then you should definitely check out stock.xchng, a free stock photo site that lets you download amazing creative images from over 30,000 photographers. If you're on OnSugar, you can of course use free Getty Images in your blog, but if you aren't (or can't find what you're looking for) then stock.xchng is where it's at.
Of course, there are terms to agree by — like you have to properly source, and ask for permission if prompted to — but it's really easy to find what you're looking for.

I'm all about blogging as my day job, but since I started my OnSugar blog, I've been blogging on my off-hours as well. If you have your own, you may know there are tons of ways to pimp out your blog, one of which is to embed a Flickr slideshow courtesy of Flickr Slidr.
All you have to do to create slideshow magic is to choose a set from your Flickr favorites, paste the link in Flickr Slidr, and before you can say "boo-yah," you have your embed code to paste anywhere you can insert html (your Facebook profile, perhaps?).

OK everyone, start your geek engines, because our online shopping site ShopStyle is kicking off a cool contest where you can build your very own application using the ShopStyle API, for your chances to win an iPhone 3G and one year of service!
If you aren't familiar with ShopStyle, it's a fantastic website that combines fashion, social networking and shopping, and provides the tools to interpret style trends so you can create, share and shop for personalized looks. I have my very own ShopStyle account where I create fun looks like this in a handy widget.
