Add you own Background Images to the flyers.

Here is a video tutorial of how to upload your own background images to the flyers.
Video Tutorial for Uploading Background Images

Note some of the following tips:
Some users may want to create a letter head type background that places a few custom graphics in various places on the flyer.

The images you choose for the backgrounds can be of any size. When you upload the graphic you then will be presented with the option of cropping out the portion you want to keep. The resulting background will be saved and resized to 576px × 719px. This ends up being a letter sized 8.5 x 11 inch image.

Since the image will be resized, it is not meant to show at high resolution so if you have very detailed type setting embedded in the image, you may not get the expected print quality you need.

For high resolution type setting, it's best to use the free form type text fields that can be added to your flyer. You can add as many as you need to label any part of the flyer with the added benefit of using different fonts and font colors.

New Feature | Upload Video using FlyerMaker Pro

FlyerMaker Pro Video Upload Administration Capability


Everybody's heard about YouTube.There are a few pluses and minuses.
  • Getting an account with them is free
  • Search engines can index the videos which generate traffic
  • Unlimited amount of videos can be uploaded but can only be 10 minutes in length
  • It can be a bit confusing at first ( which really is normal for any new person )
  • Very difficult to get the right thumbnail image to show to your users to click on
FlyerMaker Pro now uses a service that allows you to upload any kind of video of any length to our server.
We do limit the amount of active videos to 10 at a time though.
We also allow you to upload any image as a thumbnail to present your video link. We also have a very nice zoomming window (not a popup) that overlays in the browser window to present your video directly on your web site.

Here is a sample page with a few video links in place.

Our service allows you to add unlimited amounts of saved YouTube videos to your account which can then be copy and pasted into your web pages. (also unlimited)

About This Blog

I think the most important thing to note is that after 5 minutes of the initial setup of the Google Blog, I was able to embed the link into my sample web site. ( www.agentjohnqpublic.com )
Look for the menu item labeled "Blog Spot"

There is a tutorial for adding new pages to the web site and it will teach you how to add as many framed pages as you want, which is what the above "Blog Spot" link is presenting.

Total time to add the blog to my site... ( 7 minutes ) plus 3 more minutes to add this blog post about the new blog..... whew!!!

Now I need a breather ;0)
