How to Transload

Has there ever been a time when a graphic you liked dissapeared from the face of the earth? Or maybe you have seen those warnings about stealing band width? Perhaps you want to make your own graphics and want to know how to save them. Then transloading is for You!

Below you will see some simplified instructions on how to use the Star Boulevard Transloader. More information about transloading is posted at their site. They even have a message board to post questions for professional assistance.

In no time at all you should be transloading like a pro. And just think of all the fun you shall have assembling your own private collection of graphics and music! Enjoy!



Transloading

• First you shall need your own home page. These are available all over the net for free.
  
  
• Find the graphic or song that you want to transload. Copy down the URL of the code EXACTLY as it appears. (They are case sensitive. "Case Sensitive" means that is you type an "a" and the URL specified "A" you will not find the item that you are looking for. In order to avoid errors you may want to cut, copy, and paste the URL. (It is also a great time saver!)
  
  
• Go to http://transload.starblvd.net
  
  
• Fill out the transloading form.
  
  
• Click on the "Transload" button.
  
  
• You will be taken to a different screen while the transloading is being done.
• You will then be asked to reload the results page until you see a "ZAP" button.
  
  
• Click on the "ZAP" button to clear the data from the server.
  
  
• You have just transloaded a file to your web site!
