Haulix Weekly Update #70 – “In This House, We Obey The Laws Of Thermodynamics!”

Hello, everyone! Welcome to the very first Haulix company update of 2015. We have had a bit of weird week with the holidays and all, but it will still quite productive around HQ. Before we get to all that however, we typically start these things with some music. Take a few minutes and familiarize yourself with the immense talent of Eden The Cat:

Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

This week has been a relatively quiet one as far as developments are concerned, but we did discuss a number of big ideas for the year ahead we think you will love. We have a lot of goals for 2015, and with your help we know we can craft a better, more versatile platform than anyone else is able to provide. We should have a few updates soon, but this week we simply don’t have anything far enough long to discuss it. Sorry.

On the blog end of things, we did not let the many parties we weren’t invited to on New Year’s Eve distract us from creating awesome content. We did not run an article a day, but we came close, and we’re incredibly proud of every piece of content we produced. In case you missed anything, here’s a quick review:

Haulix Promo Customization Just Got Better

Greetings!

Here at Haulix we are always working to refine and improve our distribution efforts. Over the summer we increased our anti-piracy measures by releasing our automated takedown notification tool, and today we are turning our attention to promo customization to reveal an update your contacts are going to love.

Promos with custom designs are more eye-catching and tend to receive more attention from listeners. Starting today, clients are now able to create customized promos with transparent backgrounds. It may seem like a small change, but it’s one that makes a big difference on screen. 

In order to create you own custom promo with a transparent background, log in to your Haulix account and follow these instructions:

1. Click on Promos

2. When you have your promo selected, click on the Design button

3. In the upper right Design column, click the drop down list and select New…

4. Give your template a name and Create

5. In the right column, click to upload a background image.  You can either use one wide 2000px image that does not repeat or upload a small tile and repeat it.

6. With your background image uploaded, adjust the other colors and check both of the “transparent” checkboxes.

7. Click the Save button

8. Click to Preview your promo

TIP:  Create a semi-transparent header image (870px wide) and upload it. Your background will blend into the header image.
