<br />
I just recently updated my <a href="http://www.artfire.com/users/Remarcs">Artfire Studio</a> with new pretty fancy schmancy studio sections and updated menu images and links for social networking, etc.<br />
<br />
And since I know html can still give some people issues I want to give you a very basic breakdown of the code that I used and the steps to get your studio customized!<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1:</b> Create your images. You can make yours whatever size you want obviously, but these are the sizes I used for mine and you can check out the link above to see my studio.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/studiosectionscopy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/studiosectionscopy.jpg" /></a><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/studiosectionscopy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black;"></span></a><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/feathers-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/feathers-1.jpg" /></a><br />
150x60 pixels<br />
<br />
<br />
150x32 pixels<br />
<br />
I made these in photoshop and if you'd like some help with that please let me know and I can try to help but Im not super familiar with many other photo editing software and may only be able to give general tips if needed.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 2</b>: Once you have all of your images created for all of your sections, subsections, social networking sites, email and whatever else you want, you will need to upload them to a photo hosting site unless you have your own. I use <a href="http://photobucket.com/">Photobucket</a>, but there is also <a href="http://imageshack.us/">ImageShack</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/">Flickr</a> among some of the free ones available.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3</b>: Open notepad/texpad or any text document program you're comfortable with. I use notepad. Now you will want to go to your studio and copy down each of your studio section links. I normally just click the link and then click on the url web address bar at the top of my browser and copy and then paste it into my notepad document, You will want to label them obviously so it won't get so confusing looking at so many url's.<br />
<br />
Here is what mine looks like: click on image for a bigger picture<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/howto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="70" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/howto.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Obviously, you can have more or less depending on how you have your studio setup. You can also do a search through your own studio if you wanted to be even more thorough with your sections and copy those links and make images for those particular searches, eg: by color, etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 4</b>: Now that you have all of your images and all of your urls ready to go, it's time to code!<br />
I just wrote mine underneath all of the urls I pasted into my notepad to keep everything simple and in one place and that way it's all saved in one spot too in case you need to make any changes. You will also want to keep your photo hosting site open to get the image urls easily too.<br />
<br />
Here are the basic html codes I used for mine. click on image for a bigger picture<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/code.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="142" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v68/riohki/code.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Mine pretty much just uses the clickable image code a lot.<br />
<br />
If you want to reference mine: here's my layout.<br />
<br />
Img Src for the main studio section image<br />
line break<br />
line break<br />
Clickable links for each of the studio sections<br />
line break between each section and two line breaks between each main section<br />
Img src for the image for my social networking section (find me online)<br />
line break<br />
Clickable link for each site (blog, facebook, twitter and whatever else you want to put)<br />
line break<br />
line break<br />
Clickable image for email<br />
<br />
I sure hope that all made sense!<br />
<br />
<b>Step 5</b>: Once you have all your code typed out, be sure you save your notepad work. You will now want to create a widget for your studio sections. Make sure all of your code is in the order you want it to appear in your studio. You can find widgets via "My Artfire Dashboard" > "My studio" > "My widgets" > "Add a new studio widget" > "Text/Html/Flash"<br />
<br />
Once you click on the link that says "Text/Html/Flash" it will open up a little box for you to paste all of your code (only the code part and not any of the urls you pasted when you were gathering your links together at the very beginning!). Be sure to click "add widget". You can now check your studio to make sure that it looks the way it's supposed to, when you are happy with it you will then want to disable the Artfire generated studio sections by following the next step!<br />
<br />
<b>Step 6</b>: You will go to your Atfire studio and disable your layout sections which can be found via "My Artfire Dashboard" > "My studio" > "Layout/Sections" > "My studio Sections" And make sure you click on disable and save.<br />
<br />
And if I did my instructions well - you now have a customized Artfire Studio! Hooray!<br />
<br />
Please note: As far as I can tell the artfire generated payment processors image cannot be moved. Sorry.<br />
<br />
Please let me know if there needs to be any clarification to any of these instructions and I can try to clear it up and post an edit.<br />

Did you find that you had a passion but then you thought to yourself, if I can make this, I can also make that?<br />
<br />
I don't know what it is! I see DIY crafts and I just want to try them all! Not to sell mind you, at least not yet! More for home use :)<br />
<br />
I have now made 5 moss terrariums, and they are super cute. They are going to be given for Christmas gifts as they are not at all the usual gift, although they aren't uncommon. I even found a very sweet seller on Etsy (I tried finding something I liked on Artfire, but the selection is still too small : HINT: to all you clay smooshers out there - there is a need for terrarium miniatures on Artfire) to help me with the little clay miniatures that I put in them to liven them up a bit. I will have to take photos of them and post! <br />
<br />
And now, I want to try my hand at yarn wreaths. I found a really simple DIY tutorial and also saw a really simple way to make felt flowers in a magazine while waiting at the doctor's office one day that would be super adorable to use as embellishments.<br />
<br />
I dont know when I'll have the time to start on all these extra crafts I want to do. But my question is, do you do this too?<br />
<br />
Once you start crafting it's hard to know where to stop!<br />
<br />
Merry Christmas Everyone! ☺♥☺Remarcshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00501629543896291913noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498516744377513245.post-48334941617978958232010-12-20T08:43:00.000-08:002010-12-20T08:43:05.611-08:00And that's a good thingNot to steal a phrase from the craft queen Martha Stewart but! If you're thinking about selling online and you've been on the fence with picking a venue to do it on - check out Artfire.com. You can lock in a rate of $9.95/month for FOREVER! They are about to change this for those who sign up in the new year. Instead of a locked in rate, you'll be paying for whatever the rate is during that particular month which could fluctuate.<br />
<br />
This fee includes unlimited listings and no commissions on your sales PLUS all the kick ass tools they give you to help you on your online selling way!<br />
<br />
This was not a paid advertisement but Im really glad I found this site. The community is friendly and helpful and Artfire.com really does a lot to help you make a web presence with your stuff.<br />

Only the good kind.Ever see something you liked and then tweeted, blogged or facebooked it because you wanted to share something awesome with everyone?<br />
<br />
Yeah, thats what we do. Who's we? The Artfire Stalkers guild, thats who!<br />
<br />
Come check out this beautiful find - copper and crystal necklace. I love the way the copper color plays off the green crystal.<br />
<br />

This is my very first non personal blog I have ever tried to do so bear with me as I try to work out some kinks and hopefully you will find something worth reading here!<br />
<br />
This blog is here to help showcase some of my work as well as helping to acquaint those who are not already acquainted with the world of handmade to better understand what those of us do to create a better product.<br />
<br />
I know, I know, another soapbox post about the merits of buying handmade. I would have said the same thing, and ironically I have! At least, I used to before I started making my own jewelry [and bookmarks]. And Im not just saying that because I am now doing those things but because in making my own things I have learned that I put a whole lot of effort and care into making a quality product and I really like the fact that the things I make are not mass produced.<br />
<br />
Sure there are going to be similar styles and trends and thats nearly impossible to escape in the world of fashion and jewelry (as I have come to learn). But in most cases you will be one of a handful of people who will wear or own that particular piece of jewelry, or whatever you buy handmade.<br />
<br />
Anyhow! If you're in the Dallas area, there is going to be a fantastic trade/craft show featuring many handmade sellers in and around the Dallas area this weekend. It is sponsored by <a href="http://etsydallas.com/">Etsy Dallas</a> and you can find more information by clicking the link. I am not in this show but I will be volunteering and I hope to be one of the vendors next year!<br />
<br />
I will be adding a link section pretty soon for some additional helpful websites.<br />
<br />
