Hi Matt,

You’re right. If you hide the page header it will also hide the date and title displayed at the top of every page. It won’t hide the main title that is displayed on the first page.

I should also mention that you can change your user name. Just log in, go to “My Account” and then “Edit”. On that page you can enter a new user name.

Cheers,

- Frank

Thanks for the extra info, Frank – much appreciated. I updated the post re: the small print at the bottom.

As for the username printing at the top — if I click that checkbox, doesn’t it also mean the name/title doesn’t show, too? Or maybe I did something wrong?

Hi Matt,

Thank you for a great article about zinepal.com! Two things that I want to mention:

1. You can turn off the page header that shows your user name. Just check the “hide default page header” option on the “Logo & Formatting” tab when customizing your zine.

2. The little “Created by zinepal.com” message is hidden for Pro Account holders! As soon as you upgrade to a Pro Account the message won’t be shown. I need to add that to the page that lists the Pro Account features.

Thanks again for a great post!
