Accessing Content Paradise

Content Paradise can be accessed directly from the Anime Studio’s Welcome Page by clicking the www.contentparadise.com link. This link is convenient because it takes you directly to the Anime Studio pages on the Content Paradise Web site. Another way to get to the Anime Studio pages on Content Paradise is with the Help, Buy Content menu.

You can also get to these pages by typing www.contentparadise.com in a Web browser and selecting Anime Studio from the Software drop-down list in the search field. Figure 7.5 shows the Anime Studio content available on the Content Paradise Web site.

Signing Up

Although you can begin immediately to search and browse for new content, you can only take full advantage of the Content Paradise Web site by signing up for a new account. Signing up doesn’t cost anything, but you do have to pay to download content.

To sign up for a new account, click the Sign Up link on the home page. New accounts require a name, street address, phone number, and email address. You also need to provide a unique name and password that you will use to log in to the site in the future.

Browsing for Content

After you log in, you can browse the product categories by selecting a category from the list at the left or by drilling down into the various categories.

Each product has a thumbnail of the item along with its price, as shown in Figure 7.6. To purchase an item, simply click the Add to Cart button to add the item to a shopping cart. When you’re ready to check out, click the Checkout link, and you’ll be taken to a page where you can enter your credit card information.
