Blackthorne Pro Ad Templates


Hi - I'm Sally Milo and I'm an Ad Template (AT)
lover! I've been working with Blackthorne Pro since pre-beta testing days. My
presentation today will mostly be tutorials on using ATs
so you'll be able to come back later to use this along with BTPro. If I don't
make a clear point, ask me to clarify. I will not be addressing the many other
functions of BTPro today - please ask specific questions about the other functions
on the SAPro/BTPro discussion board at Link
or on the BTPro board at Link.
(You'll have to join this 2nd discussion board before you can post.)

Blackthorne Pro Ad Templates

Ad Templates (AT) in Blackthorne Pro allow you to create a certain look for your eBay listings - either using graphics from BT, your own graphics, or none at all. Once you've created one or more ATs to use, your description and other info will be inserted into your listings as you have set them up.

I will be demonstrating how to create an AT using one of BT's themes - with some features you can use in this or one of your custom ATs.

A BT theme is a frame that goes around your description and uses one of the many offered by BT. In this example, I will be using the theme, Shopping Bag with the Enhanced Ad Template, from which we'll duplicate a new AT called "Workshop".

First, select an item record in BTPro to use in creating this AT, "Workshop". In the Item Details view, in the field, Themes, select "Shopping Bag" and in the field, Ad Template, select "Manage Ad Templates": Click on "Enhanced" in this new window, then click the Duplicate button. Name this new AT "Workshop".

BTW...I think it may be tough to follow these steps right now in BTPro - bookmark this workshop so you can follow the steps later. If I'm unclear on a point, please ask me!

Click on the Edit button next to the Ad Template field. That will open
up the AT Studio to the Description Window - it will look like this:

Blackthorne Pro Ad Templates


Now, let's add some formatting to the title. The image below shows which each
icon across the top of the AT Design View does:



Does anyone need clarification about what these formatting functions is? Do
you know what an ordered list is, for example?
