Hello Everyone, I hope I am not asking too much here. I know how I would like to organize my site, but I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to code it. Here is what I would Ideally like to do: Part 1: Home Page: A series of graphics that would represent a different category (section) of designs. For instance, an animal section, a nature section, etc. Part 2: Let's say you want to see the animal designs, you click on the animal section graphic. You are taken to a page where there is one example of each of my animal designs. (This is where it is getting a little tricky for me. I want a person to see one example of all the designs, not all of the designs on all of the products where someone would have to sift thru pages and pages to see all of the designs.) Part 3: Once you see a design you like, you click on that graphic and it is at that point you see the design on all of the available products. I am thinking that doing this is part shop organization and part coding. But I am not completely sure. Any helpful hints would be much appreciated! Thank you! And thanks to everyone who posts all of those helpful hints on the forums!! http://www.zazzle.com/electricpopspot

You can make your own thumbs, host them offsite and put the images/links html in your basic information (my zazzle=>store) and in the section descriptions. Like here: http://www.zazzle.com/familyhumorshirtsand here: http://www.zazzle.com/hobbyteesI guess that´s what you mean ?  Hilly

Yes, that is the general idea. Looks great! Any hints on where you posted the code for all of that. I am familiar with hosting images elsewhere. Just can;t quite figure out where to put the code (or what the code would be for that matter.
Hhank you Hilly!

Hhank you Hilly! For the homepage/shopfront in my zazzle=>store=>basic information For the pages in my zazzle=>products=>click on a product line=>click edit, and a field for product line description pops up, you can put html in there Important! Put all your code in one line!<a href="YOUR PRODUCTLINE URL"><img src="YOUR IMAGE URL"></a> <a href="YOUR PRODUCTLINE URL"><img src="YOUR IMAGE URL"></a> <a href="YOUR PRODUCTLINE URL"><img src="YOUR IMAGE URL"></a> and so on ... 150x150 thumbs = 4 in a row 200x200 thumbs = 3 in a row Hilly

I have no idea about photos on flickr, but something seems to not agree with your image link. I host my pics on my own domain, so maybe someone familiar with flickr and the way to link to photos there might be able to help. Hilly

I have a bit of a different approach because I set it up before the ASC was available. I built a table (which from what I'm reading here is unnecessary and completely a pain in the %!@#$!!) but if you just want to use thumbnails (see my store section here) you don't have to make images and host them elsewhere. What I do is have 2 browser tabs open...one to my storefront (gallery, whatever you want to call it) and work the sections with the other. On the design you want the thumbnail for, go to the storefront tab and open a product (any one will do) with the design on it. Now in the right column of the product page, for sharing click 'link'. I also choose small, and design rather than product and copy the image URL. That's the url you're going to put for your image source. Close that and go back to the storefront. Right click on the product line in the nav menu you want the thumbnail to point to, and right click and choose copy shortcut, and that's the url you use to link the thumbnail to. You copy the thumbnail and URL in one tab, while adding them to the product line description in the other. I hope that makes sense...it gives a visual without having to make a graphic, host it, copy it, etc...it's already here hosted by Zazzle as long as all you want is a thumbnail that is. I test ed it and you can also use the thumbnail in your image folder...just right click and choose properties, and copy that URL Patti Patti

Thank you so much for posting these directions! I have been wondering how to make thumbnails like that. I just finished my front page. I intend on doing the internal pages as well. Does it look ok?

Hello everyone... one question about the thumbnails...
How did you get a space between each one?
Thanks!

Thanks! To get the space between my thumbnails, I put one space between each grouping of code. After the last </a> and before the next <a href.... Does that make sense? L

THANKS! I finally figured this out. I had it MUCH too hard in my head.
Now, I have to figure out how to break things down into separate design sub-sections.

Hoping I can jump in here, Quote:For the homepage/shopfront in my zazzle=>store=>basic information For the pages in my zazzle=>products=>click on a product line=>click edit, and a field for product line description pops up, you can put html in there Important! Put all your code in one line! <a href="YOUR PRODUCTLINE URL"><img src="YOUR IMAGE URL"></a> <a href="YOUR PRODUCTLINE URL"><img src="YOUR IMAGE URL"></a> <a href="YOUR PRODUCTLINE URL"><img src="YOUR IMAGE URL"></a> and so on ... 150x150 thumbs = 4 in a row 200x200 thumbs = 3 in a row OK, first part I got. My "fine art" section links to the one design I have so far. Now I have the icon saved, and want to do the second part..... Quote:For the pages in
my zazzle=>products=>click on a product line=>click edit, and a field for product line description pops up, you can put html in there WHERE exactly do I find this? I'm looking on the tab called "products." So I check the design, click edit, Is that where I'm supposed to edit the page? Doesn't look like I"m in the right place. Only place to put code is in the description. I seem to remember seeing somewhere that I'd need to create multiple accounts???? Is that correct? Seems silly. Ok, I'll stop here.

Agh, guess I'm not making any sense. (It's bad when I confuse myself.)
I'm IN the right place. What I really am confused about is the URL to my "product line."
