How to use the Realm ads

Web ads

You can download any of the web ads and place them on your
website. You don't have to ask permission, or even let me
know. But if you want to be notified of any changes to the
ads, you should send me your email address and the URL
where the ad is placed (if you are using a Realm ad). I
will only use these email addresses for Realm business;
they will not be made available to anyone without your
permission. You can email me at sentinel@squidge.org, and
make sure you put 'Realm' somewhere in the subject line.

Grabbing copies off the web is simple; most browsers allow
you to move your mouse over the file/graphic, hold down
the mouse button, and select 'save as' from the pop-up
menu. You don't have to be viewing the graphic to do this:
holding the mouse button down over a link to a file will
also allow you to 'save as.'

You can link the web ads to a site, or you can simply
display them. Some suggestions for linking are the SOS
site, a nice-looking fan page with high quality
information, or an "ad" page. One ad page is the opening
of Realm. I designed six others.

Ad pages:

PDF files for flyers

Flyers are here!

It's been a long wait for some of you, but I finally
decided to cut loose from the people who asked me to do
them. Yahoo!

If you want to print flyers, you must download the pdf
(portable document format/file) version. Do not try to
print gifs that appear on the website‹the gif file format
was not designed for printing and it will look terrible.

The pdf format was designed for true, reliable
cross-platform viewing and printing. You don't have to
worry about having the right fonts installed, and you
don't have to worry that you're prining from a PC and the
file was created on a PC. And pdf files are often smaller
than their word-processing cousins.

To view and print the pdf files, you must have Adobe's
Acrobat Reader. Reader is free, and comes with every Adobe
product (and sometimes others), so check your program CDs.
Or, you can download Reader from Adobe's website:

www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html

The Acrobat Reader has been around for many years and is
extremely stable, so don't worry about it screwing up your
system. It is available in all three flavors (Mac,
Windoze, unix) and is extremely cool. There's also a
(free) plugin that allows you to view pdf files directly
from your browser.

And it's free!

All of the flyers are scaled to US lettersize, 8.5 in x 11
in. If you need another size (legal, UK, Australian, etc.)
please contact me (sentinel@squidge.org) and we'll work
something out.
