Why do it?  U*do*IT allows you to get creative. Instead of being at the mercy of Mary Ann's artwork, you can send gramma a picture of your new baby....Send the Ricky Martin fan club a pic and one of his songs.....Send your book club a picture of that new recipe and all the secrets to making it. Any image and midi on the WWW can now be an original card, made by you!  How to do it.  It's easy! Just type the address of the picture you want to use in the space provided. Picture addresses must be from the web, not from the hard drive on your own computer   eg: http://www.hugkiss.com/rickymartin.jpg .....*note that the full address is used and it ends in either .jpg or .gif  Type in the address of the song you want to send (or leave it blank for no music)   eg: http://www.hugkiss.com/livinlavidaloca.mid .....*note that you can only put midi files here and they will always end in .mid  Scroll down to see examples and some hints and tips.

Finding a song.
We recommend starting with your favorite search engine. Here's the Yahoo page that'll give you tons of midi file locations. Just copy the address of the midi. To do that, highlight the address and hit your "ctrl" and "c" keys at the same time (that copies), click on the song line on the card page and click "ctrl" and "v" to paste the address there.

Finding a picture.
If you want to send a picture from your hard drive, you'll have to put it on a web page on the net first.
If you've never made a web page before, we recommend Homestead, it's so easy even your kids can make wonderful web pages on their own. Just copy the address of the picture. To do that, highlight the address and hit your "ctrl" and "c" keys at the same time (that copies), click on the image line on the card page and click "ctrl" and "v" to paste the address there.
You can also right click on any image...that will bring up a box....click "copy image location" and then click on the image line on the card page and click "ctrl" and "v" to paste the address there.
