The publishing system has been improved!
1. Create/edit your banner source
In this phase you can add text and images, use transition effects and all the features included in BannerSnack to build the banners that you need.
2. Click "Publish"
Once you're done creating a banner that you want to use, press "Publish". This step actually creates the final banner package which you will be able to download or grab its embed code. Once published, a banner will become available on "My published banners" page where you can grab it.
3. Download/Share banner
In the "My published banners" page there is a permanent link and a watermarked banner embed code available for free. However, in order to get a watermark-free banner embed code or to download the banner as a SWF file, you'll have to pay a few points (points are the SnackTools' unique currency and they can be purchased whenever needed or on a monthly subscription basis).
Note! Once a banner is published you can't modify it. You can modify its source but it will not affect the published banner. You'll have to republish every time you change things in your banners.
Consequences (for banners made before November 15, 2009)
1. Previously made banners need to be converted for editing. You will loose some transitions that are no more compatible with the new transition engine.
2. All your previously published banners using the watermarked embed code will remain hosted for 12 months but will not be directly editable anymore. If you wish to edit them, edit their sources, and then republish them using the new system.
