12 Second Commute has many tools including the versatile
Capture Page Maker.The pages you make are hosted on 12SC servers with over a dozen 12sc domains to choose from.
Choose whatever name you wish for the page name and today I chose
'artifacts' as a change from tools.
My plan was to make a full clickable page which is no more than a full page sized image.
The idea was to find a picture from the 12SC image Gallery (no fears of copyright challenges with these images) resize it to reduce the pixels and eventual loading time using an online free image resizing tool. The treated image was saved to the PC in the image folder.
Next step was to open X-Header, a tool I use for making page headers, banners and large images. Having chosen the page size as 750 x 950 I uploaded the chosen image from the PC and centered it on the page. Using the TEXT tab I added a block of text over the image, choosing a contrast colour for the text against the background image.
Adding transparancy to the background image enhanced the text. Then I added a small 'me' photo and text and slewed them a bit.
A line of text for Clicking instructions and saved the whole thing which was now a jpg image, to the PC.
Next step. Loaded the image up to 12SC Capture Pager Maker by using the upload image icon.
Almost finished. Just selected the image and linked it to the 12SC subscription page.
All done..
