just get the EDiT BUTTON happening first .. and it wont be too bad ;)

thats.. edit button for the Comments section – as the journals does have edit option.

woOuw!!! thanks a lot for the tips Webgrrl, I was wondering about that. COOL!!*

Thanks Webgrrl. Maybe RB can shout you a thank you gif… hmm?? wink – wink

Hohoh .. this is what I need … Thanks heaps!

WOW Great tips!! I wonder for those of us that use Firefox with GreaseMonkey …. if anyone has actually thought of making scripts that could make all this a lot easier and even allow us to customize our pages somewhat? Boy, one thing I can’t wait for is either RSS on our pages … or email notification of comments and replies.

Hi Webgrrl,

your soooo epic weblady heehee thankkkya!!!! im off to make wild texty variations now hmmmm

See my my journal for table creation with pipes.

Got another one I think Webgrrl.

1. bullet#

hash space text nospace hash

or maybe it’s just # bullet

hash space text

Ah! Cool!

thank you

• nice

Xcellent!

Bloody brilliant… now I canstop pulling my hair out!

FYI, folks. These formatting codes seemed vaguely familiar, so I did some poking around.

At first I thought it was a system called Markdown (Wikipedia), but after more research, I now think it’s more likely to be Textile

Can anyone at RB confirm this?

If it’s true, then you can all refer to the official documentation and stop guessing! The textism site also has a handy testing area so you can try your comments out before committing them to RB :-) At least this is a workaround until comments can be edited.

Given that RB is apparently implemented using Ruby on Rails, they’re probably using RedCloth which also supports ‘Markdown’.

BTW RB, perhaps in addition to the “Show text formatting help” link, there could also be a link to the Textile documentation for reference?

Phew! That’s enough hacking sorry computer programming I mean, software engineering for today (it is the weekend after all, and I do enough of that at work already!)

Keong: Even with my 12 years of semi geek lifestyle and lingo, a lot what you wrote went..

“Whoooossh!! What? Markdowns? Is there stuff on Special here in RB at the moment? How much is the discount?”

“What, we gonna have Textile here soon? Woohoo.. custom made material by the metre!! “

hehehehe.. and i can assure you that plenty of the community in RB dont know about HTML, CSS, PHP, Wiki, etc … and they prob dont really care either.. Which is fine, since this place is about Art and Creativity, and not codes, and techy stuff..

And i made this original post in MY JoURNAL tis for my own reference – and it grew from there….. but i dont want the comments in My Journal be filled with ‘code/documentation’ stuff… RedBubble has the FORUM for that… Hope thats ok, n can respect that (tis after all my diary/journal space yah?)

Im sure when RB implements the Edit Button – everybody and everything in the format land will be all happy.. cuz we then can make mistakes and delete and try again (and learn)

till then i promote the KISS method (Keep It Sweet & Simple)

*MwaaaaH!
;)

keong : i will add the textile link into the main journal though.. so those who wish to further their knowledge may find it easy :) Good stuff on the detective work!

webgrrl—can you remind me how to add a link to an image, please?
I know it’s “exclamation points” at either end of the image, but cannot determine how the link is incorporated.
Thanks in advance.

its a : (colon?) right after the exclamation mark and then the URL.. no spaces..
so thats,

exclamation imageurl exclamation colon linkurl

I used this little gem again tonight Webgrl – Im so glad i added it to my favs. – Much easier to find. Thanks again!

You are a good person.

You just made my life so much easier… hugs

cell1|cell2|cell3|cell4| pipes like that?? did I do that right?

Thanks for the formating guides… helps a lot..

i think u need to put the | symbol at beginning and end also..

lets try..

or it looks even better when u use it to put pix in… see if this works..

WOOOooOOOT!!

I think I’ve been smoking too many pipes!! Ha HA!! well I’ll figure it all out one of these days
WHEN IM OLD AND GREY!!! LOL!

dragoncat : i AM old and grey AND smoke too many pipes.. but thats how i got to be this clever!! :P

Webgrrl – thank you!

Webgrrl you are a genius!

coolness. i’m gonna go crazy creative when entering stuff now. :)

I love the new cheatsheet.

X-L-ENT

Nice one, thank you very much !!! what do you put in those pipes ???—tony

Tony : to make the table, or pipes as u call.. u use the ”|” symbol.. On the keyboard it shares place with the \ key

hope you understand and i didnt confuse you

ooh hahah.. i think i am the confused one tonite.. Just reread.. Not enuf pipes today..

whats in the pipes? ‘erbs of course… natural god given ERBS! :P~~

Hey thanx heaps webgrrl…i was wondering how people were doing this stuff…pix and links…(not the erbs!)...especially putting pix of the actual products. Nothing sells like seeing the real thank. Thanks again.

excellent post! THANKS

Have to admit that I may not have read the above carefully enough, but is there a way to put text next to a picture /graphic? E.g., putting a picture (width 250) in the journal and then putting the text beside it, rather than have it automatically slot in below the picture?
I have used photoshop to make a jpg 500 wide; put the picture on the left or right and added the text to the picture. That does not seem right but is the only way I can do it here, at the moment.

ah, you mean to align your image left, right etc? Im not that sure how to do that.. but if you make a ‘table’ you might be able to do that…? Then you put the image.. in one cell and the text in the next cell?

webgrrl … I hope they’re paying you because this is exactly what the rb team need to have in a faq… (the ellipses are instead of hyphens : I really wish they’d find another formatting language that doesn’t rely on common communications symbols)

Thanks again!

Ok, I’m new…..and not very good at this stuff. Hopefully, I will learn some cool stuff here!

HEY GOOD PAGE HERE

THANKS A LOT

test:

i find easiest when wanting to put image and link is to first, type in two exclamation mark, then the colon, so it looks like this… !!:
then i paste the image url in between the exclamation mark, and the URL of the page/site after the colon

just testing this thing…
wow, tricky thing…

thanks again

Thanks for this really useful post!

Thanx for your “cheat sheet” that I have to find a place with a printer to make up a copy of this page.

Thanks so much for this…I’ve been wondering and asking how to do these things I’ve see. This is so helpful. Thanks

Can someone tell me if there is a way to make returns in your description please. I usually use / as a return in coding symbols but that is giving me a slash mark. Any suggestions? I’d appreciate any help.
Another questions is how can we make text larger and links bold and large.

Awesome… Thanks so much for the fyi. much appreciated

thanks i was wondering how you did that

Cheriperyy : what do u mean by ‘returns’ ?

to make links bold, you should be able to add the asterix before and after the word, and that should work.. Lets try : MAKING LINKS BOLD

THIS IS GOOD STUFF, HOW DID YOU DIG THIS UP?
WOW

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

PS:
IF YOU WANT TO DO THE SAME JUST VISIT THIS

Oh thank you thank you way to go!

Thank you so very much for this Cheat Sheet – it will be a big help. but, I really hope that RB gets the Edirt button for posts working soon, my typing has become worse then when I first started styping (more than 40 years ago!) Great tips.

thankyou so much! it’s all so clear now:)

I managed to create a clickable link I just need help creating space between paragraphs. I have pressed enter twice and it still comes out as one paragraph…anyone have some help to offer???

100% helpful! Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks!

I’m testing adding an image to a comment or somewhere in my descriptions..it hasnt been working so I will try it here again. Thanks for everyone’s help.

Ok let’s see if this works.

Nothing happened. Am I supposed to be putting and ! before and after the link to that page? What I am trying to do is what I’ve seen many others do and that is to add the laminated print in a comment right after I upload it or also in my profile or description. HELP!

I’ll try it as I saw it written here above with : with the coon after it this time.

Still nothing…..what am I doing wrong?? I put !the link!:

Ok I figured out how to put the photo in comments and descriptions.

Now I am having a problem with first of all the images are too big. Is there something I need to do to make them fit in the description? Also

I’m still trying out how to put spaces between paragraphs in the description.

I would appreciate any help I might get…

Thanks so much.

Thanks for replying anyways….I know there is a way because I see people doing it on here some how…. I’ll figure it out some day..lol Thanks.

thankyou thankyou thankyou

A friend directed me to here! Thank you! I’ve been going crazy thinking “what the heck?” Nothing I did worked! Now I get to stretch my brain until something more snaps ! LOL Maybe I’ll put some ERBS into a pipe before I try this…loosen the old gears up! Thanks for all the info! :) Have a fantabulous day!

webgrrl, thank you for your great work. It already helped a lot.
There’s still a question maybe you know an answer for:
I add my town which is San Diego to my tags, but after I clicked enter all the tags are mixed around and I have the Diego first and much later comes the San.
It’s the same “black and white’ ...
Do you or someone else know a way to add a code to words that belong together that actually keeps them together?
TIA :)
After fiddling with this for a few hours how I need an ‘erbs pipe.

For some funny reason, though, using the thumbnail link doesn’t seem to work with Photobucket images. The thumbnail aways comes up as “Photo has been moved or deleted” but if you click on that, you get taken to the image.

It’s still coming up as “This Photo Has Been Deleted or Moved”

Oooooohhhh. Ok (lightbulb just went on in my head. Probably because of the 2nd cup of coffee)

I have been on RB since March and a group host since April and I have spent hours looking for a site of posting like this without luck. You have by far the best (understandable) help information I have seen on RB. Your Information should be a front page RB link so new people can find it without going through what I have. Excellent service. I have favorited this so I can direct my members and watchlist newbees here. Thank you.

I just joined RB yesterday and this information is invaluable! Thanks!

Aloha, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial!!

I am trying to find out how to post those Glitter codes in RB…every time I try to copy the code into RB it doesn’t come up. I am going to try it again and see if it works here.
/ /

Nope…I get the slashes only….How do you post them in here? Does anyone know?

is there a way to do a ‘strike through’ or ‘line cancel’ the html is if you are not sure what i am talking about. it is listed on the cheat sheet but it does not work and just makes the text gray….

Sorry…I was just trying to add a thumbnail sized image from Webgirls example… :)

dats cool.. try it out…. thats what its for..

Thanks from a grateful Dutchman.
You are in my last will now

John :-)

Thank you sooooooooo much!

BUT I WANT the sales widget redbubble code
i tried to convert the giver html code but i don’t have complete information to proceed!!!
can anybody help me ?????

Webgrrl, What happens if I press the enter button “three” times instead of two? I think I did this accidentally and got a paragraph separation, I think! JH

Hi Everyone and webgrrl,
Firsly, let me say thank you very much for these awesome useful codes for adding the images, links and text styles etc to homepages of RB. It is very much appreciated.

Now, I have a question.
I noticed on someone account that they had an email link direct to their email application and I am trying to duplicate this on my RB account, but not having much luck.
Would anyone know how this is done and if possible be willing to share please.

Thanks again for all the wonderful tips and hints and thanks in advance to my question.

This is to JrPhoto,
You have to make sure that there are no spaces between the exclamation marks at the beginning and end of the URL/web address.

Thanks very much webgrrl. Much appreciated.
I know what I was doing wrong now, but heaven knows why as I already have a textable link on my page already.
I used the “exclamation marks” for images, as apposed for the “quotes” for text. my mistake.
Thanks again anyhow. great stuff.

GREAT! Thanks for posting this. It should be in the knowledge base, I think. I found you browsing the forum for an answer to how to add images to the description. Got my answer! Thanks again, webgrrl. Favoriting this page.
