Custom themes are what set your listing apart from the competition. With the vFlyer Theme Editor, you can create dynamic and beautiful custom themes quickly and easily.

To that end, here are some resources to help you create your own stunner theme. Let’s face it - only so much design goes into a custom theme.

technology: Custom Theme of the Week by Kerry McCabe of Gopher Point Estate
- 09/24/10 03:01 AM
Happy Friday! We have a lovely custom theme this week (designed by one of our in-house designers, incidentally) from Kerry McCabe, broker/owner of Gopher Point Estate Condos in western Wisconsin. This is another case (and a very good one) of a vFlyer member with a fantastic website taking the branding and design from the website and applying it to her vFlyer content through a custom theme. Kerry's website looks great and her branding captures the rustic elegance of Gopher Point Estate. Her theme incorporates the elements of her website and the header image manages to include Kerry's logo, slogan, website address, … (1 comments)
technology: New vFlyer Feature! Email a Featured Flyers Page
- 10/14/09 09:11 AM
Our friend, Ryan Hinricher from Investor Nation in Memphis recently told us that he wanted to be able to email a set of featured listings to his mailing list. We thought it was a great idea, so we introduced the feature for all vFlyer business subscribers. This means that in addition to being able to email a single Flyer through your vFlyer account, you can now create a list of up to seven listings and send the list in a single email. You can choose from four different layouts for the email and apply any standard themes or custom themes in … (1 comments)
The two new Widgets give our users more and better options for integrating their vFlyer content into their websites, blogs, and social networks. The new Widgets are especially useful in blogs, where often the sidebar is the default location of widgets and other components. In particular, bloggers on ActiveRain should find the new narrow scrolling Widgets quite valuable. Also, the new Widgets don't include vFlyer branding on them, which makes … (4 comments)
technology: Featured Widgets Now Available
- 08/05/08 06:41 AM
Our members have always been excited about our Widgets because they're an easy and effective way to increase traffic to their Profile and Listings, but we realized that there was room for improvement. In the prior release, Widgets could either display all of your active listings or just one of them. So we decided enough is enough and, a few weeks ago, rolled out some major enhancements to our Widgets. Now, when you create a Widget, you can: Choose which of your listings appear in each of your Widgets Control the order in which those listings appear Leverage externally-hosted content in your vFlyer … (0 comments)
technology: Improvements on vFlyer Flash Widgets
- 06/20/08 07:54 AM
We recently completed an extensive review of all the widgets we offer and made a number of changes and fixes that improve the look and performance of the Flash version of those widgets. The Flash version (as opposed to the Javascript version, which we also generate for each widget) is the one most compatible with the largest number of websites. Changes we made include a streamlining of the contact information and photo and logos on Basic Gallery and Basic Flyer widgets; the removal of Price and Location labels when those fields have no values in them; a better display of summary … (0 comments)
technology: A New Look for Your vFlyer Account Homepage!
- 06/18/08 06:59 AM
Many of you have probably noticed changes to your vFlyer account homepage since Thursday morning. We did an overhaul of the account homepage and made it into a dashboard where you can access the Craigslist HTML for any of your flyers, email and print any of your flyers, access the HTML for any widgets you've created, and more. You can think of your account homepage as a kind of "mission control" for your vFlyer account, which is how it should be! Now you no longer need to go through multiple steps to get the Craigslist HTML for a flyer, track the … (0 comments)
