I have found a forum that I really enjoy taking part in and you can too…..It’s a forum that allows us the regular folks to suggest the home page for redbubble.
Here is just one that got posted from my suggestion.
There’s no place like home
If you think you may want to give this a try, please follow these suggestions.
1. as much as it would be fun to do, we don’t suggest our own work.
2., be sure to add all your finds that you would like to suggest to your favorites list.
3., Do a search for any topic. Search deep into the pages when ever you can…..try to resist the first page grab….I don’t want to say the you should NEVER…..just make sure to consider lesser known work. Really work hard to only pick work that YOU LOVE!! Don’t just pick something just because it’s easy and works with your theme.
Also, it is best to pick images that are horizontal…..I am not positive….but I think with the new home page it works the best…..it’s only in certain markets off and on right now. Also, make sure that your pick looks GOOD in the square when you view it on your fave page.
4..be sure that your pick has not been a home page feature before. If there are a lot of comments this may take time…..but it is only fair to be sure and add suggestions for those who have NOT been featured.
5..Find something that inspires you…...and BE CREATIVE!!! Mixing sizes and angles can be tricky….Don’t just do all the same size look of an image…...Try playing with color mixes…..maybe some black and white and then a row of soft color tones. If your final mix doesn’t look good to you…...keep working…...Red will be more likely to pick up your selections if you really work at it…..and ask for feed back from others in the forum….you can always ask me…..I’m happy to help.

Now that you have your picks in mind, open a new tab, so that you can work back and forth…..it really helps a lot.
On your first tab Go to a journal….preferably an old one that you don’t mind deleting the content of and use that always as your go to, to put your picks together.
That way no one will see the journal pop up in your feed.
I start my page with 8 of these !!:
I put a space in between as I go down..ie
!!:

!!:

Now go to your other tab and find your faves pages and copy your link to image and go back to your other tab and place your cursor between the two exclamation points ….now hit paste. Then do the same with the actual link to page after the second !: Like this
You find the link to page by clicking on the image and going to where that actual image is on that persons profile….the copy the URL above.
When they are all in it should look kinda like this.
!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

!link to photo on fave page!:link to actual page for the piece

Now you can publish and view to see if all your images are right. If you have anything attached to an image, like letters, words, exclamation etc….then do that one over.
This would be a a good time to copy and paste your work so far and paste it further down on the page…...doing so lets you go and move the images around more easily if you need to later.
To put them all together start at the beginning of line two and delete until it is backed up and attached with no space to the first line…..you will need to then add one space…...but if you don’t do this it can get goofed up.
Do the same for the next two….now you should have your first line.
