Put SMILEBOX in Your Blog and Let Your Photos Do the Talking! Anyone Can Do This!

 

This is so cool!

I sat down the other night to put together a virtual Thank You for my daughter's birthday party, and used her birthday photos to put together an online scrapbook I could email to her friends. I love to use Smilebox, its FREE to something, and well just cool. I'm so over buying cards, they are expensive, and well, let's save a tree...as I always say.

Can you imagine how excited I got when I learned that the new feature to Smilebox is to be able to put it in a blog!? My head nearly exploded with new ideas for myself, and for clients, especially with the holidays coming up. Time is of the essense, and with their pre-designed scrapbooks, postcards etc. all I need to do is drop in my photos. 


So here is my blog, to alert you to yet another cool tool for your blogs. There are literally dozens and dozens of designs to choose from, and even simple sideshows for the everyday. You can use them for open houses, seasonal greetings, community photos, etc.

Once you have created a design, you simply choose blog it, and will give you the HTML code to use in your blog.

I've added a couple of my creations below, just so you can see. One I made for my mom, and one is a sample for Halloween.
