Using Empressr

I was alerted today that we have a minor bug in the share you Empressr, function, while we work on fixing it here is a bit of a workaround.

-Make sure that you save and publish the presentation, it should not matter if you choose public or private

-Close the Empressr creator/editor and go to your listing of presentations

-Click on the presentation to launch it, once loaded click the share icon in the bottom bar , it’s the envelope.

That should give you all the sharing options

Thanks

Hey hey everybody… Globalcitizen coming at you from empressr offices! 

Why the silence you ask? well, we have been hard at work working on the next release.

We have COMBED THE DESERTS! (not literarily) More like, we have listened to all the feedback that you all have been providing. And let me just say, it’s been AWESOME. Pat yourselves on the back — you all have come up with very very creative suggestions.

And guess what! We listened! We learned! and … we’ve coded!!!

This upcoming release, is quite possibly the largest feature release we have ever put together. 

1. You guys mentioned SEO, we heard you.
2. You guys mentioned performance, we heard you.
3. You guys mentioned live presentations, we heard you!
4. And….. can I get a drum roll? CAN I GET A DRUM ROLL??? (thanks) – You guys mentioned, OFF LINE APPLICATION! — we heard you!

So, stay tuned, log in, tell your friends, because THIS release will have a limited-time offer associated with it. No, this is not a advertisement for the Slap Chop. There are really exciting things happening, and I want to make sure you all get this feature the second it comes out. 

Globalcitizen… OUT!

Once again Microsoft has released some press around the vulnerabilities of their office suite, where bad peeps can execute code from a well formed document and take control of your computer. Are we getting tired of this yet?

So if you insist on using those products, please update the latest patches, or you could just delete the installation and that will solve the problem now and into the future.

Since losing my harddrive last week in my MacBook Pro, I have been living off the net without any software installed other than a web browser, while it was initially inconvenient, after 5 days I’m starting to enjoy it. Give it a try, there are a lot of alternatives out there in the cloud, you might be surprised.

If not the latest patches can be found here

Here it is, Empressr Lesson Series #1. Media: Uploads, Importing, and Creation!

The team here at Empressr is always working to make sure your experience with the Empressr platform is the BEST possible. Here is the first of a series of story boards designed to help you use some of our most exciting key features. Enjoy!

Empressr has been privileged to have users from most every neck of the woods imaginable. The INSANE variety of stories posted every day never ceases to amaze us and reinvigorate our excitement for the application.

Well, beyond business implications, among the largest constituents of all presentation tools are students and teachers. Where once teachers were more apt to use classic educational methods, these days it seems more and more base their entire course plan around presentations they have made.

In fact, many are taking the initiative, getting their students engaged with new programs as they come out.  They are not only using technology to facilitate education but positioning their students to be ahead of the curve.

A perfect example popped up in Empressr today.  Teacher/Empressr user “Iritzel” posted an assignment for his students to review a recent tech article, create a basic Empressr about it, and then use the variety of tools we provide.

Check it out!

In my hast to start the weekend last Friday, I created my Empressr showing the new Adobe Kuler integration on our staging server, which of course is not accessible from the outside. My Bad. So here it is!

Today we are release version 5.3 of Empressr. What’s new is now you can choose color pallets from Adobe’s awesome product/service/social site Kuler.
