We've added back the ability to add photo descriptions to images.

To add a description, log in to your Albums or Images folders.   Put your mouse over the image then click the magnifier glass icon.    Select the "Add a Caption" link.

Previously entered photo descriptions are coming soon!

On this same page, notice the link that begins - http://photos-images.active.com/file.....

This is the file name you will now use when referencing images using HTML.   Each image has its own link.

To view an example of how you would enter HTML, click here (posting it on the blog wasn't working).

You now have a "view full size" option on your Albums page which gives site visitors the ability to see your images larger.   Go to the Albums page on your main site, select an album then an image.   Here you will see "view full size" in the upper left side of the page.

You and your site visitors can now purchase photos and gifts on your Albums page.   Here, you will see "photo gifts" and "buy prints" options.

In case I don't have anymore posts this year, have a fun and safe holiday!

Hi - we have a few changes going live today. Sites on customizable templates now have the ability to change Link Colors.   You can do this in the Site Appearance --> Customize folder.   Here, select the "General" tab.    In the same area, you can now re-set your Hit Counter.

The 2010 holidays have been added.   You may add to your site in the Calendar folder then selecting "add shared events."

Sites on classic templates can now add new banner, logo and background images (bug that popped up a couple weeks ago).

And last but not least, we've made it easier to assign a new head webmaster and change billing!  

Next to all members in your Access --> Members folder, there is a "make head webmaster" link (when the head webmaster logs in).   Previously you would only see this link next to registered admins.

Another admin can now take over billing WITHOUT the subscription expiring first.   In the PLUS --> Account --> Full Details,  there is a "Take over billing" link.   Using this option will charge the new person upon renewal (if it's set to renew of course).

We have another release coming soon to address Albums/Images suggestions and bugs.

The internal messaging system used to contact support will be changing on December 9th.    The folder names in your Site Admin (Contact Support for general members and Support for PLUS members) will remain and will be replaced with links to our FAQ's, Admin Tutorial, and email links to contact us for additional assistance.     Support responses will no longer be sent back to your support folder/message center.

If contacting us via email using one of the links for example, our reply will be sent to the email address associated to your user account.

You’ve seen all the hype about customizable templates and want to make the switch but don’t want to lose all the hard work you’ve put in making your current site.  Not to worry!  All your data, stats, schedules, articles and complete site information will easily transfer when you make the switch.  So what actually changes?

The only thing that changes is the look of your site, known as your “template” or “skin”.

Why should I change to a customizable template?  Here are 5 great reasons to make the switch!

1)       Choose from 70+ fun, new templates ranging from general to sport specific

2)       Select from a left or top site navigation bar

3)       Display your logo in the top left

4)       Pick cool font types, colors and graphics

5)       Feature your sponsor or league logo

Why wait?
