You don't have to do all the steps -- they are there for those who want to customize the entire greeting.
If you don't want to do a particular step then just skip it and the system will put in defaults for you.
Don't select a lot of animations on any one greeting because if you or the person receiving the custom greeting card has a slow connection or computer it may cause it to jam.
Pick colors that match -- you will see the picture you selected on the pages you need to compare colors.
After most of the steps -- you can preview the previous step by either selecting the "preview" button or scrolling down to the bottom of the page.
If you choose not to use the poetry provided and want to type your own words, then type it in another program (notepad, write, etc.) and copy it into the comments area -- just in case something happens to your custom greeting -- you will still have a copy and not have to waste your precious time re-typing it.
If you find a poem that doesn't fit completely -- than just modify it to fit your needs.
Make sure you get a copy of the url to the custom greeting you create -- in case the person doesn't get it -- this will save you from having to re-create it and wasting your precious time.
If you see a problem -- please report it so the webmaster is aware of it.
If you want a border around a picture that you upload -- make sure it is less than 500 pixels.
If you upload your own voice than make sure you have a pause after your message so it doesn't sound to repetitive.
This custom greeting card system is supposed to be a fun experience -- please don't use the system if you are not enjoying yourself.
