It’s our hundredth blog post!
It’s also the week of the birth of Jake’s second baby, a wee lady-tike. Let’s dedicate this post to her. In response to his request for name suggestions I think she should be called Alice. May she tumble down many rabbit holes.
However, I’m not going to talk at length on the [...]

Custom pages are such an amazing way of making your yearbook more exciting and more personal. Making them on your own software and uploading to the All pages section is easy – figuring out what to put in is often less easy.
For tips on making and uploading, scroll back and you’ll find Nic’s older post [...]

Here’s something we haven’t covered yet. Nicola actually drafted this article, for our forthcoming Knowledge and Yearbook Help system, but I’ve trimmed it up for here as so many people are interested!
The big thing for making your polls work is to be sure it’s inclusive and the questions are interesting for everyone in the year.

It’s the final day of half-term week for most people, and everyone seems tro have vanished! Dead … or just gone somewhere away from a computer to relish in their last few hours of freedom and holiday homework guilt, the inbox is left quiet.

The first email I got this morning had this question:
“do we have to go through the website to make our yearbook? – can we not send you the information and you make it into the yearbook?”
We get asked a lot, and I think it shows how people are thinking about the website in the wrong [...]

We’ve had some people in the last few weeks talking about promoting the yearbook. Not surprising, because we’re heading for times when there’ll be rushing and shouting and deposits… and then it’s yearbook publishing time – oh no!
A great way to start is collecting deposits – it makes people want to try it out and [...]

The new look online yearbook site for our customers has FINALLY gone live!
After a couple of months of extra development – where Jake and Jamie basically decided to skip ahead and stick a load of extra stuff – we launched on Tuesday, with a swift and nifty update on Wednesday to bring in the new [...]

About five years a go, me and a bunch of climber friends of mine in Sheffield built an eight foot high snowman, with a snow scarf, a snow hat and a snow dog. I’ve got some great pictures somewhere, which I’ll try to dig up for this post.
Now we want to see what you can [...]

The clock reads ten to ten. I’m late for work. I put this down to blizzard-like – ney, apocalyptic – quantities of snow!
The 5 minute walk to work was a near-death experience – people glanced fearfully from curtained windows, cars slewed along the streets and Lucifer himself was stood atop the church spire opposite, waving [...]

Since starting out working for AllYearbooks, I’ve been surprised by some of the linguistic spin that the English are prepared to put on the word yearbook.
Thankfully, we don’t see emails with a horrifying hyphen: year-book or year-books. But, we do see a LOT of emails asking about a year book or year books, and one [...]
