Create your own count down callout on your web site.

I have posted a page that presents a nice little count down clock on your web site that tells the visitor how many days, hours, minutes, seconds until the $8000 Home Buyer Tax Credit offer runs out.

Here is the way your script will appear:

Getting a JPEG image of your flyer.

When you want a jpeg image of your flyer, click on the PRINT button where you will see a button labeled "Create JPEG Image". If you click the button, you will see a progress bar and then a new window will open up. The new window will then take approximately 20 seconds to finish the process of create 2 jpeg images of different sizes.

Small

and Large

After the images appear, you can save a copy to your hard drive by "right-clicking" on the image and select the "Save Image As" option.
In FireFox the pop up window looks like:

€ Euro Symbol Usage

A question came up yesterday about how to use the Euro Symbol ( € ) in our FlyerMaker Template editor.

The answer is to just drag your mouse over the Euro sign and copy it. Then paste it into the mini-editor.

Please note: The Euro symbol will appear only if you use either the Arial or Times fonts.


To access the mini-editor for any text field, just hold down the "Shift" key and click on the text field.
