Add a Posty Page

One great way to advertise your website is to give it postcard capability. Not only do your visitors have something fun or inspirational to share with their friends and family, but each postcard they send has the name of your website on it!

  1. Go to http://www.mypostcards.com and click on the "your own free postcard site" link on the left.
  2. Read through each page, following the links at the bottom to receive your own free postcard site.
  3. Fill out the "Free Service Application", which will send you a temporary password.

    How is it used in your Posty Page

    Title of your Posty Page What you enter here will read "Posty courtesy of ???????" at the bottom of the posty sent, where "???????" is a link to your main Posty Page.
    URL of your Posty Page What you enter here is used in the HTML code for the above link.
    URL of Images Directory When you enter here the full path to the directory where you keep all of your graphics, it does not need to be in the HTML code for each graphic on your posty page.
    URL of Midi Directory This does the same thing for any music files you may have as it did for the graphics above.
    Card Page Title This is the title that will appear at the top of your Posty Page.
    Card page colors and properties This is where your basic HTML knowledge comes in handy. If you need help, see Attributes and/or Color.
    Custom text on the bottom of card This is any logo, advertising, or anything you wish to send at the bottom of each posty sent.
  9. Now you need to generate the code for your page! Click on the "Generate Composition Pages" link on the left. Play with each design until you find the one you like best. Click "Generate". If you like the page, save the source code by either doing a "Save as" under the "File" menu or clicking on "View Source" (IE) or "Document Source" (NS) and saving that page.
  10. All that is left is to read the comments in the code and change what needs changing.
  11. Enjoy your posty page and the traffic it brings you!
