A Tree and Some Grass

Ross G in the Xara X Conference requested some help creating trees and grass. Always on the lookout for subjects upon which to do tutorials, I took up the challenge. And while I am not sure what I have come up with is as good as it could be, I think you will find some good ideas and techniques that you can expand upon. For one thing, I am somewhat limited by the frame size used in the tutorials and the need to create things pretty much same size. But all in all, I think it worked pretty well. You'll have to let me know how I did.

The animation above was created with Xara Modules Page Flipper. There are lots of cool effects that you rent by the month or by the year. The TextMe module (below) is one of the latest in the Xara Modules lineup.

Do you want your customers, suppliers or colleagues to contact you urgently, but you don't want to provide your email address or phone number on your website?

Perhaps you provide a priority customer support service, but you need to be contacted while on the road or away from your desk?

Or perhaps you just want to provide a quick and easy way for colleagues, friends or family to text you straight from the web. It's so much easier for some people to type a message on a keyboard rather than fiddling with the keys on a phone pad.

The Xara TextMe website add-on solves all these problem by providing a simple form on your website. Anyone can enter a short message in the form, click send and you get the message on your phone. There's no need to show the phone number on the website.

Send Message texting screenThis is what the TextMe form looks like (this is just a screen shot and is nonfunctioning) when you add the simple script to your web page.

When TextMe is first created you can configure the phone number to which all messages are sent. Messages can also be emailed to any email address for backup purposes.

When you purchase TextMe you are provided with an initial 5 free test SMS messages. You may then purchase additional blocks of text messages, which start at $0.12 (about 12 Eurocents or 8p) per message.

The cost for TextMe is $3.95 US per month or $29.00 US per year.
