Twitter the banners you create

CreateBanner.com is the first of Xavier Media’s  services to use our new API for making long boring link short: 2ve.org

The feature we’ve added to use 2ve.org is a Twitter button found in both the VIP area and the banner designer where you can Twitter your banner. The link to your banner will be shortened with the help of 2ve.org, causing the links to be even shorter then TinyURL.com so you can Twitter more text . We’re doing this to give you even more options to share you banners with friends and family (and to give you a chance to show us and the world how good you are at designing banners).

To Twitter about your banner you simply just click on the Twitter icon after you’ve saved your banner. You will then be sent to Twitter with a short link to your banner pre-filled in the message box at Twitter. Easy isn’t it?

As a small side effect of all this you can now follow CreateBanner.com on Twitter. Just click here to follow @CreateBanner. As a follower you will get updates from our blog and a few other banner creation tips and tricks. Later we’ll even give away some trial VIP membership to people who follow us, so make sure you start following us as soon as possible: @CreateBanner

New features

We’ve just done a few upgrades to the banner creator that we hope you will enjoy. The first one and the thing I think you will notice the most is the tool bar found inside the banner creator and the VIP area:

By holding your mouse pointer over the icons you get a short description of the function hidden behind the icons. We hope this will make it easier for you to find all functions in the banner creator.

In the VIP area where VIP members can access all their created banners we’ve also added similar icons. The icons can be found next to each saved banner and by clicking on them you can for example view HTML code for the specific banner, copy the banner to the banner creator or even visit the banner at ImageShack.us:

We’ve added a feature that was removed in the upgrade to version 4. It’s the “email this banner” function where you could email the banner to your friends (or to yourself). This function is (believe it or not) hidden behind the envelope icon found on most pages in the banner creator.

We’ve also done a few smaller changes in the code behind, but I think that may just bore you to death .
