			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CardFunk should remind everyone of <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/11/18/elf-yourself-redesigned/">Elf Yourself</a> as it practically uses the same concept for its eCards. A user visiting the page can create an <a href="http://www.cardfunk.com">eCard</a> for Christmas. The final product will have up to five dancing characters, music and a personal message.</p>
<p>The basic steps are similar to Elf Yourself. You start by picking the number of characters that should appear on the eCard. You can pick between one to five. Dragging and dropping the three available character models is the next step. Available are one female and two male models.</p>
<p>The real customization begins in step three. You need to upload pictures of faces that are placed on the characters heads. The software makes it really easy to adjust the face so that it fits nicely on the models.</p>
<p><span id="more-8803"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/christmas_ecards-500x335.jpg" alt="christmas ecards" title="christmas ecards" width="500" height="335" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8804" /></p>
<p>When all photos have been uploaded and adjusted it is time to set a background and pick a music for the eCard. The last step allows to add a personal short message to the eCard.</p>
<p>You do not have to enter your real credentials if you do not want. The name however is shown beneath the message when viewing the eCard. Options are to embed the card on a website, to send it to someone per email or to send the link directly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last year, around the same time, we spotted a very interesting service that made it possible to dress five people as elfs and have them perform a dance afterwards. The <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2007/12/17/elf-yourself/">Elf Yourself</a> craze was born and it quickly became a popular website. On a sidenote, my nephew who was 4 at the time, loved to see his family dance the elf dance.</p>
<p>This year the <a href="http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/">Elf Yourself</a> website has been redesigned. There is a bit more of advertisement on the website but also additional content to make up for it. Don&#8217;t worry! There is still the classic elves dance for those who might have missed it last year or cannot get enough of it.</p>
<p>In addition though you can now see them dance Disco, Country or Charleston as well each with a unique stage and effects. The music is obviously also different on every stage.</p>

<p>The developers have added possibilities to download the videos to the desktop or post them on various social networking sites like MySpace or <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/10/17/facebook-login/">Facebook</a>. Expect a huge increase in Elf Yourself appearances on those sites.</p>
