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

Thanks so much for this. I have scratched my head trying to figure this out. Appreciate you spelling it out!
Also, Great portfolio.
BevB
Thank you Lisa :—)
Glad you found it helpful.
Lucindawind
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
BevB
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
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
well Im trying it Bev and its not working plus my birds are listed as birds .. hmmm …
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
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
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
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
Maybe I should read all the comments….. ;-)
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.

Digital art
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
Woohoo… well done Kimberly :-)
Can you use the little “report comment” link to remove the comment from your collage?
Kimberly Palmer
Thank you!
I will try that. Thank you….
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
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 :-)
Kimberly Palmer
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
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.
Kimberly Palmer
My test.
Kimberly Palmer
It worked, but it seems small. hehe
Thank you so much!
Kimberly Palmer
Oh, I spoke to soon. It didn’t work. Sheeesh…. I will practice.
Kimberly Palmer
Kimberly Palmer
Score! he he thanks!!
BevB
Well done Kimbery

If you want the rectangle thumbnail get your link from the public “art” area rather then the My Bubble view.
BevB
Oops… Kimbery… should be Kimberly, sorry :-)
Kimberly Palmer
I finally got it… Thank you so much, for the tips, help and patience. :D
BevB
My pleasure to have helped :-)
Kimberly Palmer
Bev …. I am always glad to see this still here, as I pass it on quite a lot. ;-)

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.

Thanks
Metamorphosis
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
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
