STANDARD TEXT-LINKS
1. Goto the page or image that you want to link to.
2. SELECT and COPY the Address/URL from the Address Bar in your browser.
3. Goto the forum, Bmail or wherever you want to post the link.
4. Put some text in inverted commas, like this: “THE BOXER”
5. Then add a " : " (that’s a colon) then right-click PASTE the copied Address/URL.
It will look like this, but WITHOUT the space between the 2nd inverted comma ( " ) and the colon ( : )…
“THE BOXER” : http://www.redbubble.com/people/byron/art/50030...
The result will look like this:
EMAIL LINKS
Email links are quite easy… your text and your email address is all you need, in this format:
Example Code contact me:mailto:myname@myemailaddress.com
Just put your “comtact me” text in quotation marks… you can put *any text you like… your name, your RB name, your cat’s name… whatever you want!
[special thanx to D R Moore the RB god of “coding”, for this one!]

- Click on COPY IMAGE ADDRESS.
- Follow rest of the process as described in each Tutorial.

BYRON:
ok this happens sometimes and I am not sure why…
go back to edit your profile, delete the inverted commas, then put them back in again.
ShellyKay

I usually recommend to people that they createa text-link on the Profile Page to their own Journal full of Links to other cool stuff on RedBubble, that way its always easy to find.
mellychan

Darcy Grizzle
Holy crap LOL, I get lost too! I want to add my Challenge win but am lost as to how to do it!
BYRON:
do you want to post a text link to it or post a copy of the image itself?
Darcy Grizzle
well I went to the group & they have cleaned out their older posts, so the challenge page is no longer there. I did figure out the above text link finally ;)
saleire
Great ideas, but can you tell me how to add a google button to my profile so google can +1 it?
BYRON:
Hiya,
Sorry, I don’t know how to do that.
saleire
Thanks Byron, but apparently redbubble doesn’t use them as they contain Java, but they are on all the images so I guess that’s enough. Thanks again
