Craigslist Template Generator v0.1

Ok. So I just want to let you all know that this is very much beta right now. I am currently teaching myself PHP, and this is my first official project. Over the next few weeks, I will be working on cleaning up and optimizing code, allowing more GIF & PNG images, and working on more templates to choose from. Right now, there is one, very basic, template to choose from. The more I see the generator being used, the more likely I am to keep the project expanding.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated at nicholas [at symbol] thelastreal [dot] com.

Instructions: Fill out all the info you would like and hit 'Code It.' Scroll down and preview your post, make changes if needed, and then copy the code (put cursor in code box - Press CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste into a Craigslist post.

Updates:

12/31/07 - You can now upload 2 images. May allow more images in the future, but two seems enough for now.

02/02/08 - 99% of users do not even need to read this. I do not mind if you guys tweak my code, or even if you want to modify it all together, but some people seem to think that they can remove the branding and use me as free image hosting. I don't mind my branding being removed, it is not as if I make money off of this, it is more a way to get the word out that this tool is available. If you do remove the branding though, I will replace any images I am hosting with the following notice. Leave the branding, or host your own images; that simple.

02/18/08 - A few of you have expressed a desire for a donation button - I have posted one above. Thank you for the positive feedback. I just got a new job (in the design industry) so things are a little stagnant here, but I do plan on developing further. Hope to release some new features by the end of the month.

Known bugs:

The 'Description' text field does not recognize returns between paragraphs. For now, you can use to make a paragraph. You may also use text here, text here, and text here, if you would like.

If your image is smaller than 350px in width or in height, it is going to be stretched to 350 width or height. I will fix this soon. For now, don't upload tiny images.
