There are two kinds of recordings you can make, recorded listings and mp3s.

The recorded listing plays for a caller on the Niteflirt system. You can record this over the phone by clicking the Create a Recorded Listing link at the bottom of your My Account page under Other Tools and Links. (I could give you the link here, but it will only work if you are logged in to your account). Follow the directions you are given and say whatever you want to go into your recording over the phone.

One problem with doing it this way is that you have to say it all the way through from beginning to end. There is no way to correct a mistake. So you need to practice in advance.

Many of my recorded listings are like stories. I write out the text exacly as I want it, and then I read it out loud again and again, editing awkward spots and rewriting parts that I realize might sound better a different way. You need to practice until it sounds completely natural. It should not sound like you’re reading from a script.

The other way to make a recorded listing is to make and upload a .wav recording. I am not sure how well this works. I know some girls have had luck with it, though the only time I tried this it didn’t work. And I have heard lots of complaints.

But first, you need to make a recording. So download Audacity and install it. Also download and unzip the Lame Encoder while you’re at it, which you will need to make mp3’s.

You will need a microphone to do this, too, though the one that is built into your computer may be good enough to start.

Open Audacity, hit the red button and start talking.

If you make a mistake, start again with the sentence you flubbed in. You can go back and edit out the error when you are finished. When you are through recording, click the button with the yellow square on it.

Replay what you have recorded. Highlight any mistakes by clicking one end and dragging your mouse across them, then delete.

To save, give the file a name and it will save it as an audacity project. To save as a .wav file, you will need to select Export As .wav. To save as an mp3, you will need to select Export as .mp3. The program will ask you where your Lame Encoder is on your computer. Browse to it and select it. Now fill out the little info form with something, and export.

Now you have a .wav file, which you may be able to upload to Niteflirt as a recorded listing if you are lucky. And you also have an .mp3 of the exact same recording, which is the other kind of recording I was writing about at the top of this entry. If the system was working right, you would be able to attach an mp3 to a payment mail and put the link on your page. As far as I know it is not working right now, so you will have to find another host or put it on your website (if you even sell a few, this will pay for a website).

The original open source callbutton script was written by Mistress V and graciously provided free of charge on her Proflirts website. Since then it has been modified by Hypnotic Guy into a thing of remarkable versatility. However, the original is simpler and may meet the needs of most flirts.

I had heard rumors that there were some changes going on, so I saved the script package for download. I was disappointed to hear this week that the Proflirts site was down. But since I have the script, I can supply it here. I even added a little text file on how to make your button script, which used to be on the Proflirts blog.

Keep in mind that this is not a beginner project. You will need a website of your own, and you will need to be comfortable following instructions to edit files in Notepad, even though you may not understand exactly what it is that you are doing.

Right-click, save, and unzip.

Here’s what the listing looked like when we left off.

Just as a refresher, we added a photo here and formatted the text here.

What we’re going to do is add another photo to it, this one over on the right. Then we’ll add a photo that’s centered, and we’ll center the header text.

What we need to do is put the next photo in the second paragraph exactly the same way the first one went in. We take this piece of code

<img src=”http://help4flirts.com/images/portrait2.jpg“>

and insert it right after the header of the second paragraph, changing only the name of the image.

It looks like this, just like the last one did. There’s a photo inline with the beginning of the first sentence.

now we are going to align the photo to the right by adding ‘align=”right”‘ and put a little space between the text and the photo by adding a left margin of 5 pixels to it.
<img src=”http://help4flirts.com/images/portrait2.jpg” align=”right” style=”margin-left:5px”>

Now the photo is on the right side.

To center something, what we do is put <center>and</center> around it.
So if we put those around an image, the code will look like this:

<center><img src=”http://help4flirts.com/images/landscape.jpg”></center>
If we put these around the header text, the code will look like this:

<center><h1>Header</h1></center>

So what we do is put the center tags around both headers. We put center tags around an image we want to use as a header image. We get rid of all those line breaks (<br>), because we won’t be needing them anymore. And here’s what it looks like.

I see this question a lot. The trick is in understanding that Niteflirt has two site search engines. One searches through listing text, and the other searches only flirt names. So if you type a flirtname that is made up of common words into the regular search box, you could get back a list of thousands of listings that contain any of those words. Obviously this situation would not be helpful.

The other is a flirtname-specific search box. If you type the flirt’s name in there, you may come up with a list that has only the listings of the flirt you are looking for, or the list might have hundreds of flirtnames on it. For some reason a long list like this is not sorted so that exact matches come first.

But if you put quotation marks around the name, now you should only get a list of names that contain all the words as the one you are searching for.

The other way to find a flirt is to type their name in the address bar of your browser right after the sitename, like so:



and you are there, whether or not the flirt has listings. If you want to email her, there is a Send Email link on her home page and every listing page, provided she has listings approved. You can’t email members who are not on your customer list until they have listings approved.

It’s pretty simple if you look at the picture. The more you charge, the higher percentage you net, and you make more per hour. A lot more.

It looks like Niteflirt has reworked the standard logins so that auto-login no longer works in Internet Explorer, the browser it is optimized for. It seems to still work in other browsers, though in some of them you have to reset the login utility.

Let’s look at the old login on a little login utility I have called “Roboform” which I downloaded way back when:

Now look at the new login. Look at all that garbage in the login window.

Clearly this is something they have done—it’s not an accident where something “broke”—so I guess we’re going to have to learn to work around it.

[rant]It is also inscrutable why the powers that be decided that we should have to relogin every few minutes in order to view our FL stats, or why someone logged in and on the My Account page already would need to be directed to a “Create a new account” page. I’m wondering how annoyed the customers are at having to navigate through a series of registration and login menus every time they attempt to make a call…[/rant]

There are a lot of browsers out there that are based on IE, though they have different interfaces. I have a few of these, and they are all giving the same issue as IE, which confirms my suspicion that this is an IE problem.

But here are my suggestions:

If you don’t mind changing browsers, Firefox, Opera, and K-meleon browsers seem unaffected, or you may need to reset and resave your password. K-meleon has a nice login function that allows you easy access to a great number of different logins, if you need that, although the browser has a learning curve and may need to be customized more than most.

There are other browsers out there which I have not tried, so I can’t comment on them.

There is also Roboform. I seem to recall that they eliminated the free version a while back, but it looks like it’s available now as a 30 day free trial.
