Summer News for myeFolio Users!

You might be finishing summer session courses or taking a break from the books, you might have graduated in the Spring (if so, Congratulations!) or, perhaps you're "on your way" with the career of your dreams! We want to share several updates related to your use of myeFolio. In respect for your time. we'll keep it brief!

In our Summer Update you will learn about:
  • Newly Discounted Rates -- Cost when Renewing Your Account
  • myeFolio Spotlight -- our Blog 
  • Responsive Designs for Mobile Devices
  • New Content Presentation Formats -- Image Panel and Resume
Newly Discounted Rates
Cost when Renewing Your Account

Great News: myeFolio has always maintained a very low annual fee for individual licenses but recently announced a $10 rate reduction. As of July 15th you will pay only $9.95 per year! That provides you with full account privileges, 100 MB site storage, online support and all feature upgrades.

myeFolio is licensed annually to colleges, K-12 schools and individuals. Many group licenses expire at the close of the academic year and, if you're not continuing with their programs, your account may be temporarily locked. The good news is unlocking your account is easy!  Once the account is nearing expiration, you can renew it online by clicking the Renew Account link or by paying the online renewal fee the next time you log in. Your content and site layout will be restored. You can pick up where you left off. If your college or school is continuing to fund your license, just contact your instructor to have your account unlocked.

The time you spent working on your eFolio site never has to be lost -- it can be maintained for a lifetime -- a place to show your credentials, document your experiences, and ready to share when you seek your next opportunity.  
myeFolio Spotlight -- our Blog

Launched in April 2017, the Spotlight is a place where you can discover beginning and advanced user techniques as well as information about significant additions to myeFolio. Our hope is that you will use this information in your sites and inspire others to do the same! Our focus in June was on using your site to assist with your job search and the best online presentation for your credentials. We look forward to your comments and suggestions for topics that would be helpful to you.
Responsive Design for Mobile Devices 

New Responsive Web Design (RWD) options ensure your site will look great when viewed on a phone, tablet, or any device.  Currently, all new accounts are set to ColorBar, a responsive design. From the design center, you can check out the available color combinations!

We have posted resources for this topic so please explore those or read a recent Blog posting that included basic RWD details.  
New Content Presentation Formats 

Designed to direct people into your site or provide a more dynamic introduction to a specification section of content, the Image Panel sets a larger image as the background to your site with an optional text overlay. Image Panels assist you to personalize the design of your site with imagery that fills the screen. The overlay can include text (plain or HTML), links and even display an embedded video clip. Use this to create impressive eFolio pages in minutes!  This and other presentation formats are illustrated with examples at our Demo Site where you will also find links to the step-by-step resource guides.

Construct content and publish your Resume "for the Web!" -- myeFolio invites users to display existing content (or prepare new content) as they populate a digital resume content form. The resulting resume format displays both essential and link-expanded details in a professional Web-aware presentation. Interact with an example resume as it is posted online and try it out using your credentials and experience.

The entire myeFolio Team wishes you a great summer!
