Craig Shillington

Thanks Webby. YOU were the one that first pointed us in the right direction though. If I had never seen those early JE’s of yours I would be lost ;) So THANK YOU!! Grrl!!! :)

I might try to get organized and tag and redo these tips and things so that they can be easier to find. Will put a link to my JE’s for tips in my profile when I do it :)

Thanks Craig – I might try it. I don’t suppose there’s a way to group works by title is there?

I guess Helene … if you give those Works a specific Tag that links them … and then use THAT tag you can then group the Works that way. :) You’d just have to sit and think of a Tag Name that would group those works. And I don’t think they would be able to be ordered this way either

For Example … to link to all your Alchemy works … make sure they are all tagged with one unique tag Alchemy that nothing else would be tagged with … then make the set as described above. Is that what you mean?

Craig OMG this is just great. I just went and had a look at your new look page and its great! How do you do that stuff? Anyway I’m going to have a go at this today before it just all gets out off hand. First I’ll go and housekeep my portfolio and make sure they all have proper linked tags then back to try this out.

But and this is a big one….... were actually do you put the set link line? I have only the vaguest idea of what goes on in the brain of my computer and HTML is like martian to me. Could you be a doll baby and give clear and specific steps starting with were the code line goes?

I think there should be a vote on most wonderful community member every month or so on RB in which case you and Dennis Klau are currently neck and neck! Way to go baby!

Awwww :) Thank you so much Juilee :) :) VBS It means a lot to me to know I (and others) are helping out a little in here too :) Makes it such a nice place to be :) :) I just wrote in one of your JE’s to say I had amended this JE to make it a little clearer where you copy and paste the code too :) Hope it helps :) VBS

Hey there Craig my computer guru from out back of the track. I’ve been trying and trying to do this but I am missing some key brain cell type ingredient here. I’m sure I got the text right but all that has happened is that the banner line html comes up in the first page of my portfolio instead of the little strip of pictures and when you go in more there is just another banner line instead of a link. How come this is happening?

Also how do you get it to all be on the one page like yours is?But one thing at a time what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks for the idea about putting titles in the tags Craig. I’ll try it if I can figure out how to get the links working. Like Juilee I tried to include a strip of pics and all I got was the text, so I’ll be watching this space.

Hi Craig, thanks for this but oh dear-I’m with Juilee – all I get is the words??

You have it exactly as it should be Melinda …. I would suggest editing and deleting the ”’s and :’s and re typing them. It’s right though.

Hi Craig-sorry to be a pain but still can’t get it to work. See

Oops can’t even get that link to work!

Okay Melinda … try putting a blank line between the link and the text above and below it. It needs to all be one single line with no spaces … sometimes they can be connected somehow with the previous line of text … or a line of text after it.

Yes that was the answer!!!! Thanks Craig you star…Now, how do you turn them into buttons!!

Okay ;) Now that is a little trickier Melinda ;) I recommend you go to the button generator right at the bottom of my Profile and have a look at the buttons you can make online. When you have a choice {if that’s the way you want to go} I can work with you on setting them up too :) I made the ones I am using in my Profile at that site. :) Keep in mine what buttons you want and what you want written on them …. because you can do all the buttons in one go. :) I will write a JE about doing the buttons … or at least how to ADD buttons {because some people might want to make their own too}. Oh, you need to have a web space where you can store the buttons and link to them as well. If you don’t have one I recommend joining ImageShack or Flickr

Hi Craig.

I was contacted by a fellow bubbler yesterday about this and gave her some guidance.

I’ve also picked up a hint regarding the bullet feature and have implemented it.

Thanks for your tips, and I’ll direct any queries that come my way to this entry.

Cheers.

Awwwww :) Thanks so much for that Darren. :) Anything that helps is good for others eh mate :) :) Appreciate that :)

You’re brilliant Craig! Very helpful indeed :) :) I’ve been wanting to arrange my portfolio. Yay!

Thanks Darren and Craig worls like a dream

Thanks for this – I wondered how it was done!

Awww Thanks Kyra :) :) VBS

Well done Christine :) Are you gonna have a go at buttons and thumbs next? ;) VBS

No probs DB :) Let me know if you have any problems implementing it :)

I was just wondering how to do that and I was gonna ask for help, but now I don’t need to, Thanks Craig….you’re a star!!

Awwww :) {{{{hugs}}}} Glad to be of service Debbi :D:D

Thanks Craig – That’s helped a bundle

Hey thanks Craig – I’ve been hunting everywhere for this, searching for keywords like create folders to no avail, and I got it to work … now just have to tag things properly :(

It doesn’t work for me :-(( I do it like you said, save it and then go to my public profile and all I get is the formula. I want to group mine into flowers, birds, landscape etc. The same happened when I tried to set up a link in my Hotmail signature. Help please !!!

Craig, Darren someone . . . I’ve managed to get the link set up, eg Flowers in my portfolio. However, when I got to public profile and click on it I get ‘page not found’ message. My flower images are tagged flowers – do I need to do something else in the tag to link it??

Thanks Craig! I’ve been dying to give some good organization to my profile

keep inspiring!

Dan

Thanks Craig, does exactly what it says on the tin!!

This is awesome Craig. I was wondering how this was done and with two clicks in the RB Help group I found this extremely informative tutorial. Thank you….I am going to give the buttons a go too!

Thank you! I had a good teacher lol :)

Craig you’re a sweetheart for taking this time to teach us all this wonderful info. Thank you so much!

PS Lots and lots of hugs and kisses to your sweet little alien Jordy! It was heartbreaking for me to read your account of his cancer. I was too upset to comment at the time. I don’t know how he’s doing now..but I’m hoping for the best….

i guess i will jump in here and TRY and figure out what I am doing wrong…

Illuna explained to me this way:
Hi Nicole,

It’s easy…go to edit your profile..go to the box about you and put in the links like this..

Children
remember when you put in your personal link, close the space as you see before children it has to be like this “children”…......good luck….

so i clicked on her link , copied and pasted, and changed the appropriate spots to mine,
I had already read your entire thread of WHAT to do and tried all those too, but copied and pasted EVERY SUGGESTION, but changed the apporpriate items to eagleswing, winds etc…
so everything was copied, pasted and then edited….
OH i dont know 1/3 of the terminology you do about all this website stuff.
hey i havent had one sale here at redbubble either.. oh well

wings:http://www.redbubble.com/people/eagleswing/art/everything/tags/wings

but i wont let it get me down….......... at first i didnt understand, NOW I DO… hmmm
tomorrow is another day.. hey what time is it where you are anyway

Thanks for this Craig – your a legend! That makes it so much easier:)

I was trying to figure this out for ages!!! So happy that I cam across this and you answered everything so detailed that it was easy to do once I had the steps! Thank you so much for your guidance!!!!

Thanks Craig, I’ve been wondering how other people were able to do this, I’ll try it soon, thanks for making it so clear!!

hi, sorry to be a pain but i cant get it to work either, is it maybe because i cant get it to all fit on one line?

dont worry, got now, thx 4 the great tips!

Thank you so much for this info Craig, much appreciated, Im been trying to do just this for months but havent managed it yet !!!! lol, now with your info I will give it another try !....anna : )

Great tips, here’s a link to a free website for making your own buttons and text

Thank you very much!
