TUTORIAL how to enhance your profile

WOW… so far we’ve had 570 favouritings and 8,224 views since uploading this journal. Hope it helps :)

Hi Everyone

This would be the most FAQ I receive from other bubblers, ie, how do i enhance my profile, how do I create a link, how do I display my products on the page….

It’s so easy, very simple, just a few steps away – anyone can do it, you can do it!! Be encouraged!

As I receive lots of requests for assistance about enhancing the front profile page of your red bubble homepage, I have decided to take some time to describe and explain in a step by step tutorial the various methods.


a) I always begin by opening up two tabs/windows
b) Open the ‘edit your profile page’ or the ‘edit your description’ box in the first tab/window
c) In the first window where you are editing your description, type an exclamation mark !
d) Click to open the other tab/window
e) Go to the public view of the image whose product you wish to display
f) Click on the BUY/PREVIEW NOW button
g) You will notice there are a range of products here for you to choose from eg, card preview, print preview, laminated print preview, matted print preview
h) Click one of these options to view the product
i) Once you have chosen which product you’d like to add as a preview, right click on it and select ‘copy image location’
j) Return to your first opened tab/window and paste the ‘copied image location’ right beside the exclamation mark
k) Add another exclamation mark after the pasted image location, leaving no spaces
YOU NOW HAVE DISPLAYED YOUR PRODUCT

You can go on to make this a clickable link if desired.
l) Add a colon right next to the exclamation mark
m) Click on the second tab/window and press the back button at the top left hand side of your browser twice until it returns to the public view of your image
n) click in the url website address box at the top of your computer to highlight it
o) right click to copy the address
p) return to your first open tab/window and paste the copied url address beside the colon
YOU NOW HAVE A CLICKABLE LINK to the page from your product preview display

This is very similar to how you would display a tshirt, but the tees are a littler easier, you do not need to go to the BUY/PREVIEW as you can copy the image location of your tshirt for display just by going to the main page where your image is located… bypassing that step, the rest is pretty much the same.

for example below is a clickable text link
Click here to see my Calendars

when you create the link it should end up looking something like this

a) I always begin by opening up two tabs/windows
b) Open the ‘edit your profile page’ or the ‘edit your description’ box in the first tab/window
c) Type one set of inverted commas
d) Type in the text, eg, “link to my website” , or “click here”
e) Type another set of inverted commas at the end of your text
f) Type a colon :
g)Click on the second tab/window and go to the website you want your text linked to
h) Right click in the url box at the top of the screen to highlight the url/website address or another page on red bubble where you are linking your text to a work of art etc
i) Paste the address right beside the colon
j) there should be no spaces whatsover
k) Click on the button to Save your changes
l) Go to preview and check the link has worked and is clickable
m) If not – recheck that you haven’t left any spaces, etc

for example below is a clickable image link

It should look something like this

a) as above
b) as above
c) Type in an exclamation mark !
d) Click on the second tab/window and go to the image you wish to add and make clickable
e) Because most images on RB are now protected with clear gifs, you cannot just copy the image itself, you will need to click on the preview/buy button to view the products, such as cards and prints, unless it’s a tshirt…which you can copy… once you’ve chosen product you wish to display…..
e) Right click on the image and choose the ‘copy image location’ option an click on it
f) Return to the first open tab in the editing box
g) Paste the image location right beside the exclamation mark
h) Type another exclamation mark, directly after the image location
i) Type a colon
j) Click on the second tab/window and go to the url address of the page your image is on
k) Click on the address to highlight it
l) Right click to copy the address
m) Return to your first tab/window and paste the url address beside the colon
n) Click to save your changes
o) Click to preview
p) You should have a clickable image link
q) If not, return to your editing and check you have left no spaces anywhere

here’s an example of a clickable thumbnail

Here’s what it should like like to you

a) as above (open the edit your profile box in my bubble)
b) as above (open it up at my bubble and go to Art)
c) return to the edit your profile box
d) insert an exclamation mark
e) Click on the second tab/window
f) Locate the small thumbnail you wish to display in your profile from your Art or TShirt Section Listings in your My Bubble area
g) Right click on the small thumnail and click on copy image location
h) Click on first tab and paste the image location right beside the exclamation mark
i) Insert an exclamation mark directly after the url
j) Insert a colon directly after the exclamation mark
k) Click on your second tab/window
l) Go to the thumbnail and click on the thumbnail
m) Go to the url/website address of your image and click in the url box to highlight url address
n) Left click to copy the address
o) Return to your first tab/window (edit your profile) and past the url address directly beside the colon leaving no spaces whatsoever
p) Save your changes
q) Go to view publick view of your work
r) You should now have a clickable thumbnail
s) If not go back to edit your profile and check you’ve left no spaces and recheck your steps

PS – if you wish to add a whole heap of thumbnails repeat the process, leaving one space between each thumbnail

Here’s an example of a Banner

Here’s an example of what it would look like to you

I have added some nice banners to the front of my Profile Page, and folks often ask how this is done. If you have software like Photoshop and are family with it, then it should be fairly easy.

I create a banner in Photoshop, using a simple rectangle shape, keeping it rather small in size …. approx 500×70 pixels (or 6×9 cm) something like that should fit fairly well in the space.

I then save my file. I opened a Photobucket account especially so that I could create banners and save them to Photobucket (a free online Photo storage facility).

Photobucket is very easy to use, simple and self explanatory. Once you have opened your account there you can upload your banners from your Photoshop saved files. Once you have saved your banners there, you can click on the Direct Link button beneath your thumbnail, to automatically copy the image location address.

To make your banners appear in the ‘Edit your Profile’ area, or in your Description Boxes, you only need to do the following:

a) as above
b) as above
c) In the edit your profile or description box, insert an exclamation mark
d) click on the second tab where you will have your Photobucket opened up
e) click on the Direct Link in Photobucket to copy the address of the banner you’ve created
f) Go to your first tab/window and paste the Direct Link image address directly beside the exclamation mark
g) Type in another exclamation mark directly after the Direct Link address
h) SAVE your changes
i) Go to View public profile
j) You should now have a beautiful new banner visible on your page
k) if not, recheck your steps and make sure you’ve left no spaces

You can make your banner clickable by additionally adding a colon after the exclamation mark, and adding the url of the page you wish to link the banner to.


See example below:

or
click here to view my tshirts

In order to do this you must tag all similar works with a word, by going to edit your art work, and adding the tag to your other tags and saving your work, once you have adding the appropriate word to each of your works, to categories them… you can begin making sets to take customers to sets of your work… you can use a banner or text or an image link to do so for the first part… sandwiching the text/image/banner between two exclamation marks as we have done above.

You will need to use an address like this for tshirt collection, but insert your own name instead of karin, and your own tag word, I have used tee, after the equal sign, eg
http://www.redbubble.com/people/karin/clothing?tag=tee

so, you add whatever tag word you like at the end after the equal sign,and then be sure to add the tag word, in my case it’s tee, to all your tshirt designs in the tag section, (via editing) and remember to click save

or if it’s an artwork collection, you would use the address below for art collections, but you need to insert your own name instead of karin, and your own tag word relative to your particular collection, in my case it’s whales, or baby, or beach, etc… :
http://www.redbubble.com/people/karin/portfolio?tag=whales

so now it looks like this below, but be sure to take out any spaces, insert your own banner url address, add the colon, and your tee or portfolio address, using your own red bubble user name and your own chosen tag

! http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg188/karinlouisetaylor/JUNEBANNERSwhales.jpg !: http://www.redbubble.com/people/karin/portfolio?tag=whales

From now on you will see the button below displayed on my Profile Page here at Red Bubble, and this will link you directly back to this page for further/future refence.

*what you can do instead is this….
Right click on the image
Click on properties
Copy the URL address you see there
Paste the URL address from the properties in between the two exclamation marks
and then just follow the rest of the instructions – i hope that helps..i just tried it out using the other browser and it worked find for me….

When I first came i asked a couple of other high profile bubblers who gave me the much needed guidance, i was very grateful to them, and still am….. it’s pretty easy once we get the hang of it…but baffling sometimes for newcomers, and even for some who’ve been here a while…..so hope it helps those people out a bit… cheers, Karin

    Great work Karin.. Assumes people are using MS Internet Explorer (ie, Right Click to Copy Image), but still very well written.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    oh yes, i hadn’t thought of that…i’d better write that up in the top section…if you are using Windows Explorer, what do you do instead??

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    I use Firefox as my browser

  • Stephen Mitchell

    Stephen Mitchell

    I use Firefox, Flock, Safari & Opera ... and IE occasionally.
    With Firefox, you would still right click, but the popup menu option would be different. Firefox also has plugins that can bypass javascript, plus allows you to see just the source of a highlighted tract of text rather than the whole document.

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    thank you Stephen.
    i use Firefox allthe time
    I right click and ‘copy image location’ is available
    it is Internet Explorer which doesn’t appear to have this option
    Looks like you need a plug in for it so you can do the right click to copy image location…otherwise out of luck?

  • Stephen Mitchell

    Stephen Mitchell

    The option is available … but you’ll notice that Redbubble has put a clear.gif over protected images. I can teach you how to bypass that, but only via bubblemail. My comment above will give you good hint on how it is done.

  • Stephen Mitchell

    Stephen Mitchell

    Here are more articles on the art of page and image linking on Redbubble:

    1. Formatting Your Article
    2. Linking Photographs
    3. Making the Series Pages
    4. But Wait, There is SO Much More

    There are many other articles that talk about this, but I like to think that these are the most concise. :)

    Hi Karin: I have a question. I downloaded a photo animation onto my profile page. It was there when I first downloaded it, but today I went to check out my page and in the place of the animation is a box with a red X . What happened and what do I do to remedy this? It was just 2 little birds opening their beaks as though they were chirping.

  • Karin  Taylor

    Karin Taylorcommunity helper

    Hi Nanagahma,

    It’s hard to know what’s happened…
    I’ve been over to look at your profile page, but can’t see the image you’re referring to, have you removed it?

    You just need to check that you have done the following things…

    1. type in an exclamation mark
    2. right click on the animation to ‘copy image location’
    3. paste it beside your exclamation mark with no spaces
    4. type in an exclamation mark after the image location

    If you try this again and it isn’t successful, my thought would be that the owner of the image has disabled it, so that you can’t use it on your profile.

  • queensknightjbh

    This is really helpful stuff, but I am STILL having difficulty displaying an image. How do I do this on Windows XP? The problem I run into after the exclamation mark is “copying image location”. I can right click and “copy” only but that will not “paste”. Any pointers?
    Thanks for this tutorial…Jim

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    this is at the bottom of the tutorial here, i hope it may help you rectify the problem you seem to be encountering Jim, cheers mate…

    PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE NOT USING MOZILLA FIREFOX AS A BROWSER AND CAN’T LOCATE THE COPY IMAGE LOCATION when you right click on an image, there is another way to do it….

    *what you can do instead is this….
    Right click on the image
    Click on properties
    Copy the URL address you see there
    Paste the URL address from the properties in between the two exclamation marks
    and then just follow the rest of the instructions – i hope that helps..i just tried it out using the other browser and it worked find for me….

    is reflected in sharing this vital information and contributing your beautiful
    artwork for all of us to enjoy. I am very appreciative of your time and effort
    to create these valuable instructions for those of us who are more technically challenged. I had some help framing some of my pieces and hope one of
    tutorials explains this process so I can change the framed pieces on my home page. The next challenge will be learning how to create the tees. You have motivated me to stop procrastinating. You are an inspiration for all of us. I will pass this information on to my group the healing journey, Karin, you are
    deeply appreciated for this amazing effort!

  • Jonathan Dower

    Jonathan Dower

    nicely done. Here’s a handy thing as well: To beat the clear gifs you can also do a little trick with getting the URL of a page with a work on, then literally insert the work’s name into this here URL which then shld give you the image:
    http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/size:large/view:main/[PUT NUMBER AND NAME OF WORK HERE EG. “887741-3-elephants-in-the-river”].jpg
    Then just stick !s around it, and voila, the original big image. You can also change the size to small and also medium just by changing what is written on it. Fab way of getting the big image to put in your profile, no buying preview frames of anything.

    Karen, I’ve been on RB for a couple of years, but just last week created a Bubblesite and started beefing up my Profile. I found bits and pieces of info around the site, but what an unexpected treat to find everything - and more! - in one place! I’m amazed, and can’t wait to try out some of the ‘new’ stuff. New to me, anyway!

    Thank you, so very much! (Hope you don’t mind that I’ll be passing this link on to any and all!)

    I cannot copy the banners, as I right click I only have the copy option and it won’t allow me to past onto my profile page, any thing I can do about it? thanks for the info

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    Hi shadowlee, I have copied and pasted the message below for you from another enquirer, I hope what’s belowhelps sort out the query, cheers Karin :)
    ...........
    PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ARE NOT USING MOZILLA FIREFOX AS A BROWSER AND IF YOU CAN’T LOCATE THE COPY IMAGE LOCATION when you right click on an image, there is another way to do it….
    Instead….ie

    Right click on the image
    Click on properties
    Copy the URL address you see
    Paste the URL address from the properties in between the two exclamation marks
    and then just follow the rest of the instructions – i hope that helps..i just tried it out using the other browser and it worked find for me….

    a lot of information to read and try…. Thank you …. Question : does it works with Safari in a Mac OS X Leopard .... ??

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    i don’t know if Mac’s have the right click system, don’t think they do..I’m not sure, but instead i think you can click on the image to get properties and from there try to copy/paste the url that way? not sure, let me know if it works, if not there’s a person above who seems to have worked it out… try contacting Tenee Attoh

    I use the “hide this work from others” option to save the banners/sets I post to my RB Profile page. That way I have a “storage place” without having a Photobucket account or other hosting site.

    Also, when posting new art work if you have several slightly different shots of the same image you wouldn’t want to post them all. By using the “hidden option” for the other images and posting the URL’s in your main image’s description you can also use the “sell option”...choosing a card, laminated print, etc. If you’ve posted the URL correctly, the other images will post to the right of your main image as a card, framed print etc.

    By the way Karin, yours is a great tutorial…

    this is WAY too complicated for me… I got lost after reading several; lines of text.
    I will just leave my profile he way it is… I am sure it is fine for others tho

  • Karin Taylorcommunity helper replied

    It does look complicated Ian, some find it helpful, but it won’t necessarily help everyone… There are links here to other tutorials, you might find them more helpful than this…. Cheers, k
