How To Put photos and links into your Descriptions, A Comment Box or a BubbleMail etc

There is a lot of info around about how to do this, but tracking it down can be hard. So, as I’ve been asked quite a few times in the last few days about how to do this, I thought I would try and gather mine, and others’ info together. / / The idea of featuring other Bubblers was kicked off as an idea by Paul Louis Villani respect to Paul. the way to do it is as follows: There are some little bits of ‘code’ that you need to use and put into the description box. I’ll use THE PALM HOUSE PAGE as an example. Part 1a – the bit of text – Do check out Kara Rasmanis’ great portfolio / NOTE: this text can be whatever you want it to be. Part 2a – the web address of the page you want to link to using this text – http://www.redbubble.com/people/kvalle / NOTE: this is the public view web address of the person Part 3a – web address of the person’s I.D. picture – http://images-0.redbubble.com/rbimages/overview_bio_pic/KV.jpg / NOTE: to get this, go to the public page of the person, right-click their I.D. photo, left-click properties, and then you can left-click-hold and highlight the actual web address of their I.D. photo and COPY it and the PASTE it. Part 4a – and finally, if you want to make the picture a clickable link as well, which is nice, you repeat the web address of the page you want to link to – http://www.redbubble.com/people/kvalle joining it all together You don’t use conventional HTML tags to make it all work. Instead you use DOUBLE SPEECH MARKS, COLONS and EXCLAMATION MARKS and – importantly – NO SPACES anywhere. important: I have to use spaces to let you see what is going on Part 1b – DOUBLE SPEECH MARKS Do check out Kara Rasmanis’ great portfolio DOUBLE SPEECH MARKS COLON Part 2b – right after the COLON – http://www.redbubble.com/people/kvalle / NOTE: this turns the text into a clickable link (if you only want a text link, you need do no more) / NOTE: for the adventurous, you can press ENTER-SPACE-ENTER at this point and it will make a blank line between the test link and the picture, which looks nicer. If you are not adventurous, don’t worry. Part 3b – EXCLAMATION MARK http://images-0.redbubble.com/rbimages/overview_bio_pic/KV.jpg EXCLAMATION MARK / NOTE: this puts the picture in place on the page. Part 4b – and finally, add another COLON to make the picture clickable – COLON http://www.redbubble.com/people/kvalle Voila – it all looks like this and it is this that you put into the description box / / It should result in something like this Do check out Kara Rasmanis’ great portfolio / And the adventurous version….. Do check out Kara Rasmanis’ great portfolio / / You do it exactly the same, using 1b & 2b, for a clickable link, in comment boxes, or in Bubblemails. You can just use 3b on its own for inserting a picture Use 3b + 4b to make that picture clickable There is more information on all this here and more here and a CheatSheet here and StacyLee’s here and it’s worth going to The Learning Centre as well hope this helps. Any questions, do ask. dave

I recommend printing these instructions so that you have them handy for reference. It is easier than switching back and forth to this screen. HOW TO ADD PHOTOS TO YOUR PROFILE DESCRIPTION (About Me) These instructions will also work to add a photo to a bubblemail or comment. Choose a photo you have in your profile. Right click on the photo. In the pop-up box, click on “properties” (at the bottom). The “Properties” box will pop up – highlight the address (URL) . {Click & drag will highlight the entire address} IMPORTANT: Be sure to highlight the entire address – only two lines will be visible, but if a third line of the address hidden, be sure you drag down to highlight all lines of the address. To copy the URL address, press Ctrl-C (press the control key and the “C” key at the same time). You won’t see anything happen on the screen, but that is fine. Click OK to close the “Properties” box. Open “edit your profile” (or any other location where you want your pic to be visible). Press Ctrl-V (press control key and the “V” key at the same time). You should see the URL address. Put an exclamation point ( ! ) in front of the URL address and another one at the end of the URL address. It should look like this, but without the spaces: ! http://images-0.redbubble.com/img/art/cropped/size:xsmall/view:main/993259-1-yellowstone-in-winter.jpg ! Remember, NO SPACES before or after the exclamation point (!) – the beginning of the URL should look like this: !http:// The end of the URL address should look like this: winter.jpg! I hope this is helpful. I would be remiss if I did not give credit to Sharon Henson as she is the one who was generous enough to share this information with me. Have a blessed day! / Patricia CLICK HERE FOR ALL TUTORIALS BY PATRICIA / Add Buttons To Your Profile Page / How to make a calendar / Downsizing those example images on your profile page / Adding Examples (Card, Laminated, Matted, etc) To Your Profile / Add photos to your profile description / Adding emphasis to your text / Plus more tutorials!

The Boulders, Babinda, North-Queensland Australia. The area my mother was born and grew up in :) Babinda’s name is probably a corruption of the word ‘binda’ which meant ‘waterfall’ in the dialect of the indigenous people. The annual rainfall of the area is a massive 4218 mm (166 inchs). The Boulders / The Boulders, 7 km to the west of town, are a series of large boulders in the river which have been worn smooth by tropical rains. They are a dramatic sight, but one which is given much greater significance by the Aboriginal legend and the modern tragedies which have surrounded them. Since 1959 over 15 people (mostly young men) have drowned in this deceptive stretch of water, held under by powerful currents. At the beginning of the path to ‘The Boulders’ is a simple monument which reads ‘Pray for the soul of Patrick McGann he came for a visit and stayed forever’. The easy walking path then moves through tropical rainforest. There is the constant chatter of birds, tree roots twisted into fantastic shapes, and the canopy from the tall trees offering a cool covering even on the hottest days. According to legend a very beautiful girl from the Yidinji people named Oolana married an old and respected elder from her tribe named Waroonoo. Some time after their marriage another tribe arrived in the area. In this group was a handsome young man named Dyga. The moment Oolana and Dyga saw each other they fell in love. Realising the crime they were committing, the young lovers fled into the valleys, pursued by both tribes. When they were finally captured, Oolana broke free from her captors and threw herself into the still waters of the nearby creek, calling for Dyga to follow her. As she hit the waters, her cries for her lost lover turned to rushing water and the land shook with sorrow. Huge boulders were thrown up and the crying Oolana disappeared amongst them. It is said that her spirit still guards the boulders and that her cries can be heard, calling for her lost lover, and luring young men into the dangerous waters…

Captivity…...... In Zoos or Wildlife Parks you either hate them or love them my personal opinion is this’ these parks and zoos have come along way from just a animal in a cage, when I was a child to see a caged animal in such a confined space was cruel and unjustified ! I can not comment on Zoos around the globe but I can tell you the uk parks and Zoo’s are clean well maintained and each species has a wealth of open space and you can tell a animal apart from being unhappy to content and so far I’m very pleased with wefare of our exotic animals in this country if I see some thing that I’m not pleased with say’ bad treatment or conditions’ I can assure you they will be named and shamed on redbubble however I have not seen any evidence of this which is brilliant. I do speak to the keepers a great deal they honestly said that they love there animals are always involved in breeding programs they also said this is the only way forward for the wonderful animals, birds, and reptiles on this planet sad but true, animals have got and still get a hard time in the wild and It’s now up to us all to make that very important difference…............... However the uk can not do it alone it’s a global issue. I can tell you the Monkey here was very interested in what I was doing and what I had in my hand at the time lol he and others were in a very large enclosure with trees grass and things to play and swing on I think this particular one was just nosey….... (-: Please tell me your opinion on captive animals in general or where you live I would love to here it …...................................................... (-: Vervet Monkey In East Africa these monkeys can live in mountain areas up to about 13,000 feet, but they do not inhabit rain forests or deserts. Their preferred habitat is acacia woodland along streams, rivers and lakes. They are diurnal, sleeping and eating in trees from which they seldom venture. Diet Leaves and young shoots are most important in the vervet diet, but bark, flowers, fruit, bulbs, roots and grass seeds are also consumed. The mainly vegetarian diet is supplemented with insects, grubs, eggs, baby birds and sometimes rodents and hares. Vervets rarely drink water.

Smudge Our Native elders have taught us that before a person can be healed or heal another, one must be cleansed of any bad feelings, negative thoughts, bad spirits or negative energy – cleansed both physically and spiritually. This helps the healing to come through in a clear way, without being distorted or sidetracked by negative “stuff” in either the healer or the client. The elders say that all ceremonies, tribal or private, must be entered into with a good heart so that we can pray, sing, and walk in a sacred manner, and be helped by the spirits to enter the sacred realm. Native people throughout the world use herbs to accomplish this. One common ceremony is to burn certain herbs, take the smoke in one’s hands and rub or brush it over the body. Today this is commonly called “smudging.” In Western North America the three plants most frequently used in smudging are sage, cedar, and sweetgrass.

I was around 10 here and my young cousin and I had been fishing in the ditch by our house. It had been raining so much that the farmers were worried about getting their crops in. A strange man stopped at the ditch and asked if we would like to get our pictures in the paper. He had us take our polls and stand next a puddle in the field while he took our picture. This is the photo that was in the paper along with his story about having so much rain that children were catching fish in the fields. LIE!!!! This is a scanned image, digitally enlarged and enhanced of the actual newspaper photo from 1953.

Empress of Austria Elisabeth of Bavaria, also known as Sissi, was a woman obsessed with beauty, powerful but tragically vulnerable in the wake of the loss of her only son, Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria, in the Mayerling affair of 1889. A year later, in 1890, she built a summer palace in the region of Gastouri to the south of the city, with the powerful mythical hero Achilles as its central theme. / The palace, with the neoclassical Greek statues that surround it, is a monument to platonic romanticism as well as escapism, and was named after Achilles depicting the scenes of the Trojan war.The Imperial gardens atop the hill provide a view of the surrounding green hill crests and valleys and the Ionian sea. The parallels to the grieving Empress recuperating from the painful loss of her only son by trying to extract it from her memory, but never quite being able to do so, are compelling. In 1898, Empress Sissi was assassinated in Geneva, Switzerland, at the age of 60. After her death the palace was sold to the German Kaiser Wilhelm II, and was eventually acquired by the Greek State. The Achilleion has been converted into a museum. But lonesome Empress is still in her most favourite residency as a sculpure, made of marble and frigile beauty. / /

Some say the modern day Pow Wow competition dance known as the Ladies Fancy Shawl Dance has its roots in a ceremonial dance called the Butterfly Dance. Here is a Cherokee account of how that dance came to be. I’ve been told the Shoshone have a similar story but I heard this version from Cherokee dancers in North Carolina. These dancers told me the Ladies Fancy Shawl Dance is a representation of the following Butterfly Legend: Many, many years ago when the Earth was still quite new, there was a beautiful butterfly who lost her mate in battle. To show her grief, she took off her beautiful wings and wrapped herself in a drab cocoon. In her sadness, she could not eat and she could not sleep and her relatives kept coming to her lodge to see if she was okay. Of course she wasn’t, but she didn’t want to be a burden on her people so she packed up her wings and her medicine bundle and took off on a long journey. She wandered about for many days and months, until finally she had gone all around the world. (To this day, butterflies go on long journeys, but that is another story.) On her journey she kept her eyes downcast and stepped on each stone she came to as she crossed fields and creeks and streams. Finally, one day as she was looking down, she happened to notice the stone beneath her feet, and it was so beautiful that it healed her sorrow. She then cast aside her cocoon, shook the dust from her wings, and donned them once more. She was so happy she began to dance to give thanks for another chance to begin her life anew. Then she went home and told The People about her long journey and how it had healed her. To this day,The People dance this dance as an expression of renewal, and to give thanks for new seasons, new life, and new beginnings. The shawl in the Fancy Shawl Dance represents the butterfly’s wings, the fancy steps and twirls represent the butterfly’s style of flight. This is another reason you will sometimes hear the Fancy Shawl Dance Competition referred to as ” the butterfly dance.” At Crow Fair in Montana, I was told another story about the Fancy Shawl Dance. While the Crow people also equate this dance form as an expression of re-emergence and renewal of life forces, they have a very different explanation of how it began. Their version goes like this: When the men returned from World War II, many of them were impressed with the dance troupes they had seen perform in Europe, and the colorful clothing the European dancers wore. A transformation began in the Men’s Traditional Dances as these men began to incorporate bright colors into their traditional outfits, and add aerobic movements into their interpretation of traditional dances. This evolved into a very strenuous dance competition category called the Fancy Dance. The young ladies of the time thought this looked like a lot of fun and they wanted to try it, too. Not to be out done by the men, some of these bold young women began to strap two bustles to their backs and compete in the Men’s Fancy Dance category at pow wows. Well, as you can imagine,this did not go over very well with the men, who were outraged at women who were forward enough to push their way into a MAN’s category of competition. (Remember, this was the 1940’s.) What was even worse, many times the women were beating the men in competition! This was considered pretty disgraceful from the men’s point of view, yet they also had to keep their women happy. Eventually, a council of Elders got together to ponder what they could do about this pitiful situation. After much thought and consideration,it was decided to give the ladies their own category of Fancy Dance, but something more regal and graceful, which was more suited to the expected behavior of women. The Elders decided that the Butterfly Dance would be suitable for adaptation to this new dance style for women. Thus, the Fancy Shawl Dance category was begun in modern competitions. By the way, the Crow Fair All Indian Rodeo and Pow Wow is coming up the third weekend in August at Crow Agency, Montana. If you only go to one pow wow in your lifetime, this is the one I would recommend. It’s the largest outdoor powwow in America, and there are over 1,000 tipis in the encampment, which has earned it the title of “Tipi Capital of the World.” Read more about: / Dance Regalia of the Fancy Shawl Dancer / How the Fancy Shawl Dance Competition is Judged / Crow Fair

Adding a detail image in your description

While we patiently wait for new t-shirt previews (discussed, in pipeline, jostling for position with lots of other things) I thought I’d show people how to post a detail in your description field so that your designs have a little more impact when someone clicks on them. If you’re not sure what I mean, take a look at these works from rubyred, scott robinson and onetonshadow. Detailed thumbnails allow your viewers to see all that glorious detail and hard work you’ve put into your designs. / / / / / / Just for info: The previews on RedBubble are deliberately adjusted to look as close to the t-shirt print quality as possible. The appearance of the colours on a back lit screen will be different to how they will appear when printed on fabric so the previews try to take this into consideration. This is so your customers won’t be disappointed when they get your tees and the colours don’t ‘pop’ as much as they do on a backlit screen. You can read all about it here. So keep in mind that when you post your detail image it will be slightly brighter than the design on the tee. Step One: Create a detail image Once you’ve created your tee and saved the file as a png, switch to ‘view actual size’ or equivalent. Crop the image to show the area of detail you want to focus on and save as a new file in jpg format. You can do this with more than one area but keep in mind that your viewer will have to scroll down to see multiple images. One or two will probably do the trick. Step Two: Host your image somewhere You’ll need to link to the image url in order to post the detail in your description so this means you need to upload it somewhere online in order to create the link. I use my RedBubble art tab but make sure to keep the work hidden when I upload it. Then I just bump it down to the bottom using the arrow keys so it’s out of the way. Other people use websites like flickr or photobucket. Step Three: Linking to your image Once you’ve hosted your image somewhere, you’ll need to create your link. As with all image links on RB, you need to use the image url which has a .jpg on the end. If you right click on the image (Mac users need to press ctrl and click), you’ll either see ‘copy image url’ or ‘copy link location’, depending on what browser you’re using. PC users may have to right click, select properties and look for it there. Then you paste the link into your description field in between two exclamation marks like this (but without the space) ... ! http://images-3.redbubble.net/img/art/size:large/view:main/4033442-2-untitled.jpg!
