1. Best Question: What are the steps to show my Flash logo?
Answer: Here are the steps to showing a Flash logo with your text, first make sure you have a webpage to put the Flash logo on. You can create webpages with Microsoft Frontpage, NotePad, or a free html editor like 1st Page 2000. You can get free webpage hosting from www.freewebs.com if you want.

1.) Create a Flash logo at: http://www.freeflashlogos.com/
2.) On the download page, make sure to follow the steps. First, right click on the 'Right Click Here, and click Save Target As...' blue link. This is to download your logo.
3.) Next, copy the text from the white box by clicking in the white box where it says 'Start of Logo Code' and right clicking on it and selecting 'Select All' then right click again and select 'Copy'.
4.) Now go to the webpage you have and would like to add the logo to. Use any program you may currently use to edit the html or create webpages with and add the html code you coped before by pressing the keys Ctrl+V.
5.) Next, take the .swf file downloaded from Step 2 and move this to the same folder or location as the e webpage you added the html code you coied too.
6.) Last, put your website files (the webpage and the .swf file which should be in the same folder together) on the internet using the method you currently use. If you don't use any way of putting webpages online yet, consider trying out a free ftp uploader like coffee cup free ftp or the paid ftp uploaders like www.cuteftp.com or www.wsftp.com which are programs to help put files online. If you signed up for a freewebs.com website account, you might want to use the upload tool they may have.

That's it! Consider reviewing these instructions again if you have any trouble.

Question: I copied the logo html to my webpage, but I just see a blank rectangle, not my logo. What do I do?
Answer:

To properly make sure you show your logo, remember to download the logo file (in the same page as the html to copy after creating your logo) and put it in the same folder as the webpage it will be shown on is in. I have some steps for putting a logo on your website in the answer to the first question on this page, check it out:

Question: I am having trouble putting my logo on my website. Please help!
Answer:

If you haven't put your logo on your website yet, consider creating it again from:

http://www.freeflashlogos.com/flash-logos/display.php

And downloading it manually (aka save). Consider using Internet Explorer when you go to that webpage above if you could.

If you have already put your logo on your website:

Check to see that you have the swf file on your website and also are using the special html code provided after you created your logo. You can get this html code by creating your logo again from the link above.

Question: Are the logos free for personal or commercial use?
Answer: Yes! The logos are free for both personal and commercial use. Hope you like them. By the way, no link to FreeFlashLogos.com is required anymore. Sounds cool, eh? :) But if you want and you really like this site and want to tell others about it too, feel free to link to us.

Question: Can the logos be used as signitures for forum boards?
Answer: Wow, sounds cool. Yup, they sure can. All you have to do is instead use the BB code to show your Flash logo and host the logo somewhere online.

Question: My Flash banner doesn't work?
Answer: The Flash banners do work, although they can give the impression they aren't working if the logo file isn't put on the website along with the html code, or if the logo .swf file cannot be accessed by the html code.
I'd suggest following the directions in the Best Question above (first question).

Question: Can you recommend a free web host?
Answer: Here ya go. www.geocities.com and www.freewebs.com -- I don't know if they allow Flash files to be put on them though. You will have to check that out.

Question: What resources would you recommend for me to create a logo?
Answer: You may want to use Swish to create your logo since it costs less than Macromedia Flash. See www.swishzone.com for details on the software program. They also offer tutorials and other stuff at that website about the software too. You may also want to see www.flashkit.com/tutorials/
for tutorials on using Macromedia Flash or Swish (they have a category on Swish).

Question: I downloaded my logo but I don't see any of my text on it?
Answer: On the download page for downloading your logo you should also copy the html code given under the download link as that special Flash html code contains your logo text. Consider selecting the design from:
http://www.freeflashlogos.com/flash-logos/index.php
And creating your Flash logo again, then copying the special html code in step 2 given under the download link to show your Flash logo with your text on your webpage (paste the code onto your webpage).
