Flocknote News & Tips

All Flocknote Networks now get a Txt-to-Register keyword for FREE. This used to be $8 / month. Now it's free. We also lowered the one-time per-registrant price down to a dime per person.

As Flocknote grows, we are able to offer more stuff for less cost to you. So thank you for making this possible by supporting Flocknote. We hope to do more of this as we continue to grow.

First - we still have more free stuff to give away if you answer these 10 questions.

Second, we've recently added the ability to more easily insert images and even videos right into your Notes on Flocknote.

Inserting Images

Now you can upload any images straight from your computer and insert it into any Note you're creating. Simply click the "Insert Image" link right above your editing toolbar when creating a new Note.

Just a couple of updates for you!

Simplified Home Page & Menu

You've probably noticed that we made some improvements to your user home page when you login. It's now very focused on showing you only the Lists that you are subscribed to.

The main reason we did this was to make sure your parishioners don't get confused when they first login and join your Network. So we redesigned it to remove as many secondary kinds of things as possible and to make it easy for them to get straight to what they need.

Howdy Flocknote family! We've got some updates for you below that have rolled out over the past month or so. And we have some even bigger changes and improvements rolling out very soon. These are all a part of the continued effort to focus Flocknote on meeting your most pressing communication needs in the Church — and doing it better and better.

Of course, your feedback has been essential to this effort and you've been so gracious in your support and suggestions. Please keep it up!

Happy Advent and Merry Christmas from Flocknote!

As many of you know, we started this journey just over two years ago. My wife came home from work and I told her, "Honey, I have an idea called Flocknote!" I remember grabbing a small dry erase board and mapping out how it works — a formula that has evolved and improved over the years as we've worked closely with all of you. And for that, I want to thank you.

Flocknote was recently spotlighted by Tropo.com (the tech much of our SMS and phone calling features is built upon) for Flocknote's innovative application of communication technologies. Jeff and I had a fun Skype interview with Chris Matthieu of Tropo last week. You can see our funny faces in the video embedded below.

The updated Flocknote help videos are now available for you to share and watch. There is one for beginners (typical, non-admin users) and then one for both Network and List Admins.

You can view them on our video resources page here. I'll also embed them into this post for you below.

Social Links

If you've connected your Facebook Page and/or Twitter profile to one of your Lists, now your subscribers will automatically see links to them at the bottom of all of your emails that go out - inviting them to follow you on Twitter or "Like" you on Facebook. Like this:

One stylish announcement for you and one huge increase in functionality for you.

New Look: Top Navigation Menu

In case you haven't noticed yet, we tweaked the styling on the top navigation menu bar recently. Instead of the heavy black bar at the top, it's now a much lighter look:

Howdy everyone! Just a few Flocknote updates for you...
