I have searched the web and there are so many free templates if your looking to add templates to your listings. I use photoshop 7 (and find it so difficult to use) but I have it so use it. I then use photobucket as a place to “host” my pictures. I too try to use as many free sites as possible

I use GIMP it is free and easy to learn [URL removed]

I use PaintShop Pro. It will do everything and more than other programs that cost an arm and a leg. Like Photoshop, why invest in a program that costs so much, when you can get PaintShop Pro and you can do more with it than you can with Photoshop. There are other programs out there, some more costly and some less, but the one that will do it All is Paintshop Pro.
Your question on a program to create templets, should be seperate from one to create graphics, they are not the same program. Meaning you would need two programs. I am not sure of a program that will let you create templets unless you want to use microsoft front page or a program like that for the templets.

If you’re looking for templates for your Bonanzle listings, I highly
recommend SELLERSOURCEBOOK. They offer a multitude of fabulous
templates in all styles and colors. Anyone can create a listing easily— NO HTML—just type your description and add photos. Sellersourcebook provides a code for Bonanzle so you can upload your completed listing in template to Bonanzle.You can prepare your listings with their
templates for Ebay and other sites, too. They charge $8.99 a month with unlimited use of templates. You can store about 8 ,000 of your photos in your account ,edit your photos, add captions, and store listings,
also, for future reference or use. No contracts—just pay by the month. Auctiva and Ink Frog offer the same template services—but I think Sellersourcebook has a much better variety of templates and their service is Outstanding.

I was using www.fotoflexer.com when my computer got attacked by a virus through all my virus and spyware protection. I’m not saying it was attacked through fotoflexer, but that’s the site I was on when it was attacked.

There are lots of open source programs, which many are free to download, that will allow you to create graphics the way you want.

The GIMP open source graphics program is very useful in creating profie pictures, avatars, and booth banners.

Blender is a great program to create 3D graphics, text, and any other 3D object you can think of. It even creates 3D movies and games.

Inkscape is another graphics program you might be interested in. It is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Xara X, using the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format.

Of course there are more graphics programs out there to choose from but the ones that I mentioned should satisfy your creative needs.

Hope this helps. :-)

I agree with Alilbirdy2 on both recommendations. I use PaintShopPro exclusively, even though I have other graphics programs. For creating templates Google the WYSIWYG free application called HTML Kit by Chami. I’ve used that for years.

Templates are really tables made with html code. Here is a link where you can experiment with table making, then copy and paste into your booth listings after you’ve finished tinkering and like the [URL removed]

…great question!

AWesome info so far. Thanks a ton!

Any info where I can find just regular cool pictures that are free to use? I’m sure a search would bring up thousands….but what do folks here use, or what are the best?

Also would love insight as to where folks find those fancy moving images used when folks post in forums… :)
