Wow! That looks great DT. I took a peek but don't understand how to get it to work. I filled in the info but where do you go from there?

Did you get past the first page?

Once you fill out the first page with your gallery it will take you to a second page that asks:

Here's your page!
Do you want it?

* I want it! (and will personalize it now)
* No, I don't want this page.

Pick I want it.

Then pick a URL

Enter the Captcha word.

Then you can customize your page from there by clicking the Orange Edit Buttons.

Let me know if that works.

Got it, thanks. So, it's really just a short cut to filling out the basic info but you still build it the same way.

I fill out the info on the page that Kims link takes you to and it just sits there. No button or link to click to continue. I'm using IE7. If I click on the Go To Sqido!! link, it just takes you to their main page.

Not to be smart or anything, I shouldn't have to. I left AOL years ago because they forced Windows down your throat years before it was the norm. Guess I don't use their service. They apparently cater to certain groups.

I'm not saying you can't use IE, I was just suggesting that it might work on FireFox for you.

I wasn't flaming you. Just making the comment that these websites want all this traffic but seem to cater to certain browsers and the easy fix is "Use so and sos browser". Don't they realize how many potential customers they're alienating and how many sales they're losing ? As stsated, I've been online since the DOS days and when AOL decided to support only Windows based computers, they lost thousands of accounts. Before they were number one, now they're fighting to survive. Just poor planing in my opinion.

Hi,

There should be a small text link at the bottom of the page that says something like "Go to Squidoo!" If you click on that, it takes you to the next step.

Took me a minute to figure out that was the link too. It's not very obvious.

I did click that link as stated. I typoed in that post with "Go To Sqido!! " when it should have been "Go To Squidoo!" Smile As I said, it just took me to Squidoos maine page, not the next step. Thanks anyway guys Grin Maybe if Kim or another Zazzle moderator can find an answer for me I'll try again but if they don't, no big deal.

I agree - I can't figure this out either. I filled out the information, and there's no button or anything except the "Go to Squidoo" link - which takes me to the main Squidoo page and not to the "Here's your page" page. I'm using IE 6, and it's the only version I have and can install on this computer.

Any help? Are we supposed to be logged into Squidoo first? Is there something I'm missing?

Well of course you have to be logged into squidoo first - or else it won't know where to assign the lens.

Love the tool ^^. It's awesome. Just wish I had more stuff to feature (new gallery and all...)

Shouldn't it ask for your Squidoo account information, too, then?

And I tried logging into Squidoo, then coming back and using the link in this forum, and it didn't change a thing.

Still not getting this.

If you are already logged into Squidoo it should ask for Squidoo account info. Tell me in more detail what's happening and maybe I can help.
