Lilypie: More flying kites and whirling umbrellas

I have added Autumn sliders to the birthday tickers for 3 year olds and up on Lilypie.

Lilypie: Twirling umbrellas and flying kites

I have added 24 new sliders for one and two year olds in the 2nd and 3rd birthday tickers, including sliders for twins.

Lilypie: Ballerinas

I have added ballerina sliders to the birthday tickers on Lilypie for one year olds and up.

Lilypie: Autumn backgrounds

I have added some new Autumn backgrounds to all of the Birthday tickers, Maternity and Pregnancy tickers on Lilypie. Tomorrow I am going to start drawing some new sliders to go with them.

PitaPata: Australian Shepherd

The fifth week of polling to see what I will draw next on PitaPata is finished. I have drawn some Australian Shepherd puppies and adults. You can use the new sliders for the Dog Pet ticker on PitaPata.

There will be a break from the poll while I catch up on other work. You can see the full results from last week's poll.

Facebook thumbnails

I have made changes to the Facebook application for all our sites so that when you go to the application page on Facebook and click on Publish, it now posts a cropped thumbnail version of the ticker, and the ticker text is written in the description.

Here is an example of a post made from the Lilypie app on Facebook:

You can still see the full size ticker by clicking on the thumbnail image. Previously, Facebook was downscaling the ticker images when they were posted to the wall so that you couldn't read the text. More about sharing tickers with your friends on Facebook

PitaPata: Alaskan Malamute

The fourth week of polling to see what I will draw next on PitaPata is finished. I have drawn an Alaskan Malamute puppy and adult. You can use the new sliders for the Dog Pet ticker on PitaPata.

I will be running one more poll (this week) and then there will be a break until I catch up on other work.
You can see the full results from last week's poll.

PitaPata: Polish Lowland Sheepdog

The third week of polling to see what I will draw next on PitaPata is finished. I have drawn an adult and a puppy Polish Lowland Sheepdog. I also added a black pug. You can use the new sliders for the dog ticker on PitaPata, vote for this week's poll or see the full results from last week's poll.

I will be running 2 more polls (this week and next week) and then there will be a break from the poll until I catch up on other work.

PitaPata: Bearded Collies, Keeshond and Dalmation

The second week of polling to see what I will draw next on PitaPata is finished. This week I have drawn puppy and adult Bearded Collies, Keeshond and Dalmations. The new poll is up and I have added English Springer Spaniel, Bernese Mountain Dog and Polish Lowland Sheepdog to the poll.

Lilypie: 3rd birthday beach tots and summery fun

More beach tots and summery fun, this time for 2 year olds in the Third birthday tickers.

PitaPata: Siberian Huskies win the first poll

The first week of polling on PitaPata to see what I will draw next is finished. Siberian Huskies came out on top so I have drawn an adult and a puppy Siberian Husky slider. Thank you to everyone who voted. You can use them in the Dog ticker on PitaPata.

You can see the full results on the Poll History page.
You can vote for the breed you would like to see next on the Poll page.

I have also added a winter background to all of the tickers.

PitaPata: What to draw next poll

There a lot of dog breeds on my to-do list for PitaPata so I have added a poll so that you help me decide which breed to draw next.

Each week I will be drawing new dog breed sliders for PitaPata. Once a day you can vote to help me decide which breed is next.

Lilypie: 2nd birthday beach tots and summery fun

I have added some beach tots and summery fun slider and background images to the Second Birthday tickers for one year olds on Lilypie.

Now I am working on images for the Third Birthday tickers.

Lilypie: Mini-ticker server back up.

The mini-ticker server that failed has been completely rebuilt. Everything should be running smoothly now. Some First birthday, and Pregnancy mini-tickers created this week may have been lost. In this case, you would need to make a new ticker. Once again, my apologies to everyone affected.

Lilypie: Mini-tickers not displaying

We went away for a few days, and while we were away one of the ticker server hard drives failed so that many of the mini-tickers are not displaying. We are working on it now. My apologies to everyone that has been affected.

Daisypath: Wild birthday backgrounds

I have added 5 new backgrounds and 14 new silhouette sliders to the Birthday ticker on Daisypath. The new background designs are partially transparent so that the background colour you choose can really change the way the ticker looks. I hope you have fun playing around with them.

Lilypie: Rainbows, cupcakes, sleeping babies and a rubber ducky

Inspired by rainbows, cupcakes, sleeping babies and a rubber ducky, I have added 12 new sliders, and 6 new backgrounds for the First Birthday tickers.

The rainbow backgrounds use partial transparency so that the background colour you choose shows through the design. I like the paler more transparent rainbow twist on light pastel backgrounds, and the more solid rainbow twist on bright colours. I hope you have fun playing around with the background colours and see what you like.

Lilypie: New baby fruit size sliders for the Maternity tickers

I have drawn 16 new sliders for the developing baby fruit size slider for the Maternity Development Stages ticker so that the slider changes more often as your baby grows.

I also added a blonde developing mum slider, some Autumn backgrounds and a Christmas background to the Maternity Development Stages ticker.

The Maternity Development Stages ticker displays a dynamically changing slider, days and weeks pregnant and text about the development stage. Of course, all babies are unique they gain weight and develop differently, the development text is only a general guide.

Daisypath: Graduation ticker

I have added a Graduation ticker to Daisypath. You can use it to count down to your Graduation date, or display how long since you graduated.

Web App for Android

We have added a Web App to all of our sites that lets you view your tickers on an Android device.

Lilypie: New Pregnancy images

Inspired by some great suggestions people have emailed, I have been drawing new sliders and backgrounds for the Pregnancy ticker. So far, I have drawn 18 new sliders including some peanut babies, twin peanuts, twins in a pumpkin and red cowboy boots. The backgrounds are a rainbow, a beach and an old poster style. I also added the rainbow and an old poster style background to the Maternity ticker. There are still more to draw based on the great suggestions people emailed. Next up some new images for the Baby and Kids Birthday tickers.

Web App for iPad / iPhone / iPod

We have added a Web App to all of our sites that lets you view your tickers on an iPad, iPhone or iPod.

Lilypie: Pregnancy and First birthday tickers

I am drawing on some new images for the Maternity and Pregnancy and the First Birthday tickers for Lilypie. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Daisypath: Birthday tickers

I have added Birthday tickers to Daisypath. Daisypath Birthday tickers update each day to count down to your next birthday, or to show how old you are.

There are already 26 hand-drawn sliders, and 26 hand-drawn backgrounds to choose from and I will be adding lots more as I get time to draw them. As always your feedback is greatly appreciated, so if you have any ideas about what you would like to see please do let me know.

Daisypath: Seasonal backgrounds for Wedding and Anniversary

I have added some Spring and Autumn backgrounds to the Wedding and Anniversary tickers on Daisypath. Next I will be adding some to the Friendship and Travel and Vacation tickers.

LilySlim: Fitness and Exercise goals ticker

We have added a new Fitness and Exercise Goals Ticker to LilySlim. The Fitness and Exercise Goals Ticker allows you to set your own goals in steps, miles, km, hours, mins etc, and record your starting point, goal and current status. You also have the option to set a Start date so that you can see the days since you started.

PitaPata: Weeks and days

On PitaPata I have added the option to display the time passed in weeks and days, instead of years, months, weeks and days in the Count to and Count from ticker types. To switch, click on the Or display in .. link under the Information below the ticker field at step 3.
