SaveMeFromForeclosure.com provides information regarding bad credit to assist consumers facing credit problems

What Company Is Offering:
SaveMeFromForeclosure.com a proven industry leader in the foreclosure prevention industry continues to share valuable information with consumers. SaveMeFromForeclosure.com provides information regarding bad credit to assist consumers facing credit problems.

How It Works:
SaveMeFromForeclosure.com, tells consumers that the road to bad credit begins prior to experiencing late or missed payments. “Many consumers fail to read the fine print on credit applications which outline what will happen should they have a late or missed payment,” says Justin Lee of SaveMeFromForeclosure.com. As Justin points out the terms are outlined on the application but many consumers are only concerned with getting the credit at the time they fail to take into consideration what the ramifications are if they fail to complete the terms of agreement.

SaveMeFromForeclosure.com advises consumers who have fallen behind in payments to pay close attention to fees imposed as a result of delinquent payments. These fees can easily become hefty. SaveMeFromForeclosure.com recommends an effective communication process with financial institutions. Although many consumers feel overwhelmed when facing bad credit problems it is very important to make a concerted effort to speak with creditors and negotiate payment arrangements as well as asking for the reduction or complete removal of fees. Creditors are more likely to cooperate when the consumer makes an initiative to resolve the issues.

JAlbum is a free tool that produces web based photo albums with index pages and slide shows from image folders

What Company Is Offering:
JAlbum is a free tool that produces web based photo albums with index pages and slide shows from image folders.

How It Works:
A lot of things can be set in the JAlbum user interface and on the skin specific tab (see album settings), but if you don't find a user interface control for what you'd like to adjust, add or change in the final album (font sizes, alignment etc), edit the skin template files instead, there is even a tutorial for this if you find it hard. The skin template files are basically html files stuffed with some JAlbum specific tags and variables. They form the base for all generated album pages. Use a plain text editor like Notepad to edit or an html editor like Frontpage. If you are adjusting a size, font or colour, edit the style files of the skin instead (see the styles directory of the skin you are using). NEVER modify the generated html pages, or you will find yourself having to re-modify them every time you generate an album.

How Is It Different:

Just drag and drop an image folder and press "Make album".
While many competitors offer some degree of customisation through user interface controls or simple templates, JAlbum allows you to generate virtually any imaginable album look as it allows the album designer to use any HTML mixed with JAlbum variables and interpreted java to define the album look.
With JAlbum you generate static HTML web albums so there is no need for extra software to view albums, not on the server side either (just a plain web server). You can put an album on a CD-ROM too if you wish.
