Bits of Showit

Mental note: Accidentally dropping in a .bmp image freezes Showit.

A quick and easy way to delete multiple images on the stage is to hold down the delete button, while clicking the objects to be deleted.

You can copy and paste layers across +Sites.

Do not increase the font size of a block of text just to fill space. If your paragraph text is at Verdana 14pt, make sure the ENTIRE site is the same way. Keep it consistent.

Use Audacity to shrink your sites .mp3 track from 3-4Mb to 500Kb. Export using a bit-rate of 96kbps. This will speed up the loading time of your site while maintaining the tracks quality.

If you can access your site via WWW, and no WWW, that's bad.  Google sees that as two sites, and thus penalizes you for having "duplicate content."  Find out which version has more sites linking to it, and implement a 301 redirect (forwarding one version to the other). 

Re-size images to 1600 pixels (72 dpi) on the long edge of the image. This saves space in Showit while striking a balance between size and quality.

If you want something to meet the edge of the browser on all screen sizes, lock it. Page content is typically not locked.

Hold down the Shift key to replace a layer while keeping most of it's advanced panel properties.
