Practicing clickable links

This is where I play with links, figuring out what works, and what doesn’t!
If it works, I’ll leave it here as a permanent reminder to myself.
If it helps others, then that’s a bonus.

Clickable text link to picture -
“Photo name inside quotation marks”
Colon :
URL address of photo sales page http://www.

example -
“Waiting For The Sun”
:
http://www.redbubble.com/people/bevb/art/112842-waiting-for-the-sun

Put them together with no spaces and it ends up like this –
Waiting For The Sun

Clickable picture link -
!
URL of thumbnail found in your overview pages between excalmation marks
!
Colon :
URL address of photo sales page http://www.

example –
!
http://www.redbubble.com/rbimages/portfolio_thumbnail/BemmRiverWaitingForT.jpg
!
:
http://www.redbubble.com/people/bevb/art/112842-waiting-for-the-sun

Put them together with no spaces and it ends up like this –

Clickable text link to photo groups
Give photos you want to group a tag in common
“Link name inside quotation marks”
Colon :
URL address – http://www.redbubble.com/people/yourname/art/everything/tags/tagname

example -
“Blue Heeler Pups”
:
http://www.redbubble.com/people/bevb/art/everything/tags/heeler

Put them together with no spaces and it ends up like this –
Blue Heeler Pups

    oh dear I cant understrand it .. where does the URL go ? in your profile ? I tried that and it didnt work ..Im usually good at figuring these things out but not this one yet lol

    Hi Lucinda,
    Is it easier if I give an example that is relevant to your pictures?
    Let’s say you want to group all pictures you have tagged bird
    example -
    “Birds”
    :
    http://www.redbubble.com/people/lucindawind/art/everything/tags/bird

    Put the three parts together with no spaces and you will get this –
    Birds

    By the way, only two of your bird pictures are tagged bird at the moment, so you may want to tag the others if you want to use this link.

  • Lucindawind

    Lucindawind

    ok its a bit easier I think lol .. I will try it tomorrow …I also like they way Jeff Burns has his on his profile page …. is that easy ?

    Click to View By Category: then he has all his in category as well

    thanks so much for your help ..I hope I can do it ….hmmmmmmm

  • Lucindawind

    Lucindawind

    well Im trying it Bev and its not working plus my birds are listed as birds .. hmmm …

  • BevB

    BevB

    Ok, if you prefer birds, just add an s to the end of the url I gave earlier -

    “Birds”
    :
    http://www.redbubble.com/people/lucindawind/art/everything/tags/birds

    Put the three parts together with no spaces and you will get this –
    Birds

    Jeff Burns has done similar to what you are trying to do here.

  • Lucindawind

    Lucindawind

    oh thats wonderful Bev..thanks ..want to do them all ? LOL just kidding . .I must learn this .. I tried linking one photo to a message and that worked but I have the screen thingy around it .. how do you get just the photo ?

  • BevB

    BevB

    If you list a couple of tags you’d like to link to, I’ll do them for you.
    Maybe then you will see a pattern emerging :-)

    I don’t know why you got a screen around your photo, I haven’t had that happen to me yet.

  • Lucindawind

    Lucindawind

    no you dont have to do any Bev..i was just kidding …. thanks anyway …I have seen many with the border thing around the photo..dont know why tho .its over at SnowDogs contest photos ..

    Bev -

    Wow, this is fantastic…. Thanks for this. This is one to copy, paste and print.
    Maybe you can answer this for me… is it too late to put all my images in to categories?

    Thanks!!! Kimberly

  • Kimberly Palmer

    Kimberly Palmer

    Maybe I should read all the comments….. ;-)

  • BevB

    BevB

    Hi Kimberly,
    It’s never to late to put them into categories. Just make sure the images you want to group together have a tag in common.

    I did it! I’m a dork though, I put this in my collage image instead of here. ha ha ha Silly me…. wish there was a delete option.

    Thanks!!

  • BevB

    BevB

    Woohoo… well done Kimberly :-)
    Can you use the little “report comment” link to remove the comment from your collage?

  • Kimberly Palmer

    Kimberly Palmer

    Thank you!

    I will try that. Thank you….

  • Kimberly Palmer

    Kimberly Palmer

    Worth the try Bev, but it’s just for reporting offensive comments, etc. Oh well…. maybe it will get people to view my “digital art”. he he he :D

    ~ Kimberly

  • BevB

    BevB

    Hi Kimberly,
    I was thinking you could use “other”.... but you are right it may tempt other to click on it and view your “digital art”.... which btw, is all very nice :-)

    Hi Bev -

    I am trying to do the clickable picture link, but I’m confused about getting the thumbnail link. Where do I find that URL? Please, help! ;-)

  • BevB

    BevB

    Hi Kimberley,
    It seems like they have changed the site a little since I wrote that. Instead of portfolio, it is now art.
    If you go to your “art” and copy the image location -
    example –
    !
    http://images-2.redbubble.com/img/art/size:small/view:main/171191-1-awakening-flower.jpg
    !
    :
    http://www.redbubble.com/people/wildshots/art/171191-1-awakening-flower

    Put them together with no spaces and it ends up like this –

    Crosses fingers and hopes I have it right!

  • Kimberly Palmer

    Thanks Bev!!! I will give it a whirl.

    Well done Kimbery
    If you want the rectangle thumbnail get your link from the public “art” area rather then the My Bubble view.

  • BevB

    BevB

    Oops… Kimbery… should be Kimberly, sorry :-)

  • Kimberly Palmer

    Kimberly Palmer

    I finally got it… Thank you so much, for the tips, help and patience. :D

    When you are looking at your Overview page, click on the link that says View All Art and take your image location link from the thumbnail that shows there.

    Hi BevB, I’m slightly challenged in this :) I understand the directions so far for the clickable text link to picture but am a bit lost when it comes to the set of numbers before the picture title, what are they? thank you :)

  • BevB

    BevB

    Hi Metamorphosis,
    The numbers appear in the URL (web address) of uploaded art, journal entries, etc.
    For example your journal entry, 2 requests please, has this URL –
    http://www.redbubble.com/people/metamorphosis/journal/983053-2-requests-please

    Hi Karin,
    It’s definitely ok to link to this. As mentioned earlier, it’s here to remind me, but If it helps others, that’s a bonus :)
