(This is someone’s first impression) (2) You may add up to 5 other graphics (These might be pictures of you, you’re product, service, affiliations, co-workers, etc.) These will show as small thumbnail photos, that enlarge when a visitor to your directory clicks on them. (3) You cany also choose to add a 30 second video to your directory. See Example All photos for this directory should be no larger than 400 x 400 pixels and saved as a jpg or gif on your computer.
