It’s been a fair while since I’d last put my proverbial pen to paper and so I’ve decided to tell you all about our latest enhancements to our site that are almost guaranteed to bring joy to your day. Firstly, we’ve reinstated in the much-needed messages and signatures pages – there are currently twenty to [...]

It is currently our ‘very busy’ period in the AllYearbooks office; Nic and David’s workload has shot through the roof, there are over two hundred collage pages to create seemingly all the time, lots of deadlines for many of our customers’ yearbooks are coming up soon and monies are flying in like nobody’s business Normally [...]

a three-minute screencast showcasing our overhauled ‘Members’ area within a yearbook (full-screen recommended) We just launched a completely overhauled ‘Members’ area within our yearbooks. Instead of the slow, long list of members that it used to be, the Members page is now based around a fully-featured search that allows you to quickly see, at a [...]

A quick screencast showcasing our improved photo uploading system (full-screen recommended) To follow up from the previous blog post, this short screencast demonstrates how photo uploading works for our yearbooks. The much-demanded feature to be able to upload more than one photo at a time is here. In the future, we plan to add a [...]

A quick screencast showcasing the photo management improvements on an example photo folder (full-screen recommended) Recently, we upgraded the photo management so that it’s now easier to use and work with.

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 [...]

As David pointed out in the last blog post, we are currently under heavy development here at the AllYearbooks’ offices busy developing new and exciting features for the coming academic yearbooks. Apart from the chat system (which is already working) we’re well on the way to implementing a new way of generating the final PDF [...]

It’s site development season! The last few months in Jake and Jamey’s room haven’t just been about increasing monitor volume. While Nic and I keep on top of everyone’s needs, they’ve been programming like demons. So what’s new? There’s even better security and backups for the online information and enough server capacity to support all [...]

Hmm… we’ve spent a bit of time recently testing our online yearbook system versus ‘similar’ systems offered by our primary competitors here in the UK. The results were… umm… interesting. In brief: we believe that we are far, far, far and away the best. [1] It would probably be unfair to name names. But we’ve [...]
