Sorry, but LiveBooks have screwed up Fotomoto big time. They acquired the brand, technology and people several months back. Suddenly, from one day to the next, the service stopped working. There is a nice thread about it here: https://getsatisfaction.com/fotomoto/topics/is_the_fotomoto_website_down

They have let down paying customers (and continued charging!). I lost any trust in them, forever. Now paying zenfolio, and not finding it too bad. Shame about the time and effort I put into making Fotomoto work on our website. I thought it was a neat idea.
