Curious about this from those in the know. When you choose New Products in the Zazzle Panel, does it just rotate through the latest few (seems like 20 or so), and that's it? Is there any way to get it to shuffle through more of them?

Hope July is going well for all you guys.

I don't know the answer, but seeing as no-one who does has responded, I thought I'd pop in. I rarely look at a panel long enough to notice how many products it shows, and they seem to start over again any time the page is re-opened or refreshed, so I'm not sure most people would see more that 7 or 8 anyway.

But I don't think there's any "settings" we can fiddle with for the panels other than selecting designers and/or keywords, so I don't think we have any control over the number of products shown.

Thanks, Patricia, for chiming in. I think you're right. No other controls for us, and you're probably right about people not waiting longer than 7 or 8 anyway. Maybe I should choose a category other than shirts, that way it can go through more designs on a one product category.

I don't know either but on my stores and a few other places I use a Flickr slideshow instead of the store panel.
This way I know that it goes by every design, people can choose to watch it or not and it doesn't slow down the loading time of my store.

Flickr. That sounds interesting. Is it hard to do?

It's really simple actually.

Make a flickr account http://www.flickr.com, which is free up to 200 pictures and $24.95/year if you want to put more on it, Upload your designs and Organize them into a Set.
Then when you go to the Set you'll get a option called Slideshow in the top right. Click on it and then on Share and then copy the Embed HTML and paste that on your Zazzle storefront.

I'm currently at 180 pictures so I'll be upgrading pretty soon since I think it's worth it. I use it on some of my Squidoo lenses too.

Make sure that you upload your designs smaller then what you use for your store btw. That way you don't have to worry about anyone stealing them.
