Graphic artists, unite!

A few weeks ago I put up a challenge to all you graphic designers: let’s see what you can do with Snippy.

Ice Rain has posted the amusing flash simply titled: Snippy Goes Skateboarding. Enjoy!

Anyone interested in taking Snippy to the moon, Paris or the Great Wall of China can get the graphics here.

Just to let you know…

We updated the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy on eSnips, and added a new Copyright Code of Conduct. Take a look and let us know if you have any comments to privacy at esnips dot com.

Artists, Graphic Designers, Illustrators: we want you!

We’d like to see what you can do with Snippy – our very orange bird.  I’ve uploaded a few examples and Snippy in PNG format to the Orange Bird Logo folder.  Take a look and let your imagination run free…

To help me find your work, please use the tag snippyart

By mid-September I hope to have enough Snippy artwork to open an exhibition!!

Karen already has an early start…

10,000 DJs!!

Yesterday the 10,000th DJ joined the DJC (aka the DJ Community) and we're simply amazed.  It was only a few months ago that this community had less than 100 DJs! 

So, to all you DJs - thanks for making eSnips your online home!

eSnips Changeover

Hi Everyone -

eSnips is redecorating.... you have probably noticed the changes going on in the site.

It is taking longer than we thought it would.....so we beg your patience, and good will until it is all fixed up as it should be. 

Thanks -

Lonnie and all the eSnips team

Karaoke Summer Party

The dog days of summer are definitely here: the thermometer has been over 35C/ 95F during each of the last four days, and humidity has been over 70% each day!  Yes, we realize that many of you don’t share our plight and live in cooler climates, but humor us (the heat addles our brains).

To capture that lazy summer spirit while sitting in the air-conditioned luxury of your home, Lonnie came up with the idea to have a virtual karaoke beach party – you sing the summer songs you love the best, we provide the virtual margarita!!! 

Take a look at Lonnie’s post in the Karaoke forum. All you have to do is sing a summer song (Lonnie suggested a few, but you can choose your own if it suits the spirit of the party), upload it to eSnips, and use this summerkaraokeparty to tag it. 

Come on, we want to hear you sing!

PS In case you were wondering, the air-conditioning unit in marketing was fixed a week ago. We are, thankfully, back to cooler days…

File downloading – temporary problem

Some of you have been emailing and leaving comments regarding a file download problem that I want to address. The problem started after a recent system upgrade and from what I’ve seen, files appear as an “unknown file type” after the download, with the file name being a random series of numbers and letters.

We’re working on fixing the problem, but in the meantime, there is a quick fix for this. After downloading the file, simply rename it with the correct name instead of the gibberish that you see.  Most importantly, be sure to add the file’s extension.  So, for example, if you’ve downloaded a music file, simply rename it song.mp3 after the download. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience.

Short period of database maintenance

Our database will be down for an hour or so for maintenance.  You won't be able to log into your account or leave a comment, or do anything that requires signing in.

Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope it will be over before you even notice :)
