Clickable picture links - The time saving shortcut method
As many of you know, it is very easy to insert pictures and clickable links in various places around Redbubble.
If you don’t know how yet then look here and here
From that same account I post a lot of journals featuring other artists work. Some journals have 20 or so clickable picture links.
Some of you may be aware, but if not I hope you find this of use, it is very quick and easy to do a lot of images in a short period of time.
The wording required between the two ! is exactly the same for each type of picture (postcard, laminated printed, medium square, etc) and just by changing the description means copy and paste can mean very quick multiple postings.
I will show you an example (PLEASE SUBSTITUTE THE £ WITH AN ! – If I type ! the picture comes up instead of the text)
£http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/border:noborder/product:mounted-print/size:small/view:preview/3564688-4-jumping-rooftops.jpg£:http://www.redbubble.com/people/stuartchapman/art/3564688-4-jumping-rooftops
Gives this
If you then copy and paste the above text again the next line down but replace the bolded italics bits only
£http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/border:noborder/product:mounted-print/size:small/view:preview/3564688-4-jumping-rooftops.jpg£:http://www.redbubble.com/people/stuartchapman/art/3564688-4-jumping-rooftops
Now by clicking on a new image and copying part of the new URL underneath
stuartchapman/art/1294503-23-not-my-view-from-work
And replace the number and name only in the picture and copy and paste from the name of the person on the URL link.
i.e.
£http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/border:noborder/product:mounted-print/size:small/view:preview/1294503-23-not-my-view-from-work.jpg£:http://www.redbubble.com/people/stuartchapman/art/1294503-23-not-my-view-from-work
In no time 20 clickable picture links can make their way into your journal / homepage / artwork at a fraction of the time (maybe you could use that spare time to buy me a coffee!)
Feel free to pass this on if you find it useful.
Stuart

I’ve created such journals too – but still get queries from people about how to do it LOL.
The problem is that the system really needs an improved method, it’s too complex for a lot of people. One person I know had it exactly right, except that somewhere along the line their double-quotes were being converted to smart quotes i.e. those that look good but are different characters! It took some working out.
I prefer something like [url=http://www.videoscape.com.au]My Website[/url]
or (for an image) [img]http://www.redbubble.com/theimage.jpg[/img]
because it would be easier for people in the long run….. But I guess it’s too hard to change to anything else.
Stuart Chapman replied
Thanks – Hadn’t seen a journal like this before and was aware that people were probably still going through properties all the time.
It’s one of those things that get easier the more and more you do of them. I had a nightmare the first few times
Rosemary Scott
Good for those who don’t know…. Thanks Stuart :))
DonDavisUK
Hi Stuart, that’s a very helpful reminder for me. Don.
lightsmith
LOL. I still have nightmares. I get it wrong even though I know exactly how to do them. There more journals like this we have, the easier it is on everyone. There can’t be enough of these published.
Richard Veal
Thanks for that Stuart. :-)
Matt Penfold
Thanks for that Stuart, a great resource, I tried to buy you that coffee but the girl in the shop said I couldn’t pay with spare time ;-)
David Clarke
Great summary, Stuart, very useful. I seem to be giving out this info on a regular basis to various people, so now I can just refer them to this!! Coffee no problem next time you are in Arezzo!
terezadelpilar
Wonderful help Stuart! Thank you!
terezadelpilar
Stuart, I don´t have that pound sign on my keyboard, is there another sign?
Stuart Chapman replied
Tereza – You don’t need the £
You need to insert a ! instead of a £
But if I put a ! in my example the picture would come up and not the text.
Hope it know works
Heabar
WOW really appreciate this information many thanks Stuart !!! TC Heather !!!
LjMaxx
Wonderful share. Thank you!
terezadelpilar
Thank you very much Stuart:))) you are very kind:)
Paul Tupman
Stuart… You’re a HERO!
Geoff Carpenter
As an OLDIE who is still learning about computers, this is very helpful but still a bit mind blowing! Thanks for taking the time Stuart.
Mel Brackstone
You’re a star, Stuart. I have to say though, if you’ re using firefox it’s much easier to get the link, because you just have to right click, and in that menu there’s a line that says “Copy image location” so there’s no need to mess with properties….all your other info applies though!
funkyfacestudio
I have firefox I guess I should play around and see what I come up with. Thanks a bunch Stuart ! I didn’t know how to get the BIG pictures to link.
Geoff Coleman...
Brilliantly helpful as ever Stuart – always forget how to do these and then forget where on RB that shows you so this journal is straight to favourites. Ta muchly.
GeezaPeek
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this Stuart. Nice one.
Andrew Bosman
And who said you were just a pretty face….
Deborah Parkin
oh God – I know it is straightforward but why isn’t it going in …
Teacup
Thanks for all the info – I will give it a try. have been given this info before, but still seem to struggle – some of us are still too attached to the old pencil and paper method of things!! x
Mariaan Krog A...
Clever! You’re a star Stuart, thanks so much!
John44
Good job !
Kaleidoking
Thanx for this clear info! I’m quiet new to redbubble and was already wandering how this was done.
Simon Gladwin

Stuart Chapman replied
