Hey Boys, Keep Truckin’

Truck Design
As promised, here’s a new design for the boys. This one also comes from several of you who think your kids will one day like to get behind the wheel and kick up a little dirt.

We hope you like the new Truck Design!

New Movie Feature

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

When you add a movie to your TotSite you will notice a new “optimize” checkbox. We added a new feature to convert movies you upload to TotSites to a “Flash Video”. This new format has several benefits including: reduced file size maximizing your storage space, visitors can view movies without special plug-ins, and movies will start playing immediately. This format is the same as many other popular video sites such as YouTube and Google Video and is widely supported.

Movies will not automatically be converted to the new format. If you elect to have your movies optimized, it can take up to 48 hours for the movie to be updated. Your available storage space will be updated at that time.

Let us know if you have any questions. You should see an immediate improvement once you compare two movies side by side!

NOTES

  • We are also going back and updating past movies uploaded to TotSites.
  • You can actually upload movies up to 15MB each. The site still says 10MB but we are working on increasing this limit as well.

 

What’s featured this week

CRAFT: Spring is coming and what a better time to roll up our sleeves and get messy. This weeks’ craft does just that and gets everyone ready for the change in the season: Paint Garden. If you come up with a great example let us know and we will share with everyone!

ARTICLE: As delivery nears, you begin to give a bit more thought to the inevitable – that baby must come out. While there are really only two ways a baby is born but there are many birth decisions you should consider and discuss with your significant other and medical professional long before the anxious trip to the hospital in the midst of labor. It is time to create your Birth Plan so everyone has a common set of expectations.

Ballerina Design
It’s been a little while since our last new design was released, but I assure you that we’ve been working hard on implementing some of your ideas into new themes. We will be releasing a new design for boys… but ladies first!

This latest design came from your suggestions, and is for all the budding ballerinas out there. We hope you enjoy the new Ballerina Design. Don’t worry, the boys get their own design next, and after that we’ll have a new sports theme that everyone can play with!
