Tips on Creating a Classified Ad

The following suggestions are intended to help you create an effective online ad:

• Please do not try to combine words using slashes (/), with the exception of acceptable abbreviations such as those listed above. We will reject your ad if it contains excessive word combinations.
• Please, do not use ALL CAPS. You don't have to shout at people to draw attention to your ad. (And we'll just convert the ad anyway.)
• Please do not enter a return at the end of each line. Just keep typing. Your ad will then format properly online and in print.
• If you use abbreviations, make sure they are in a format commonly used in newspaper classified ads. For example: Use "br" or "bd" for bedroom, "bth" or "ba" for bathroom, "A/C" for air conditioning, etc. (without the quotes, of course).
• Please note the instructions in the Contact Information. Any information entered there will appear in your ad and you will be charged for the words. If you do not want that information to appear in your ad, leave the fields blank.
• Photo size limit: Photos must not exceed 200 pixels wide OR 200 pixels high. If EITHER width OR height exceeds 200 pixels, your photo will be rejected. If that happens, simply resize your photo in your favorite image editing program so that neither width nor height exceeds 200 pixels.
