I am such a non computer person, where do you add the html??? Can you put a statcounter on your stores? I did figure out how to feature products on my home page.

It seems that Zazzle chooses what's on the home page, I haven't found how to make my own front page. Maybe that's where I "feature" a product?

Laurie

Yes, you want to have Featured products on your homepage. You can select up to 12 products and you can drag them around to where you want them. Here are a couple of pictures to help you.

Thank you all for your nice comments - took a while for me to get organized, too. And none of the galleries are finished, but I have always put quality first and quantity second Very Happy

.

As for the clickable buttons: You don´t need any fancy html, just

Code:: <a href="YOUR PRODUCT LINE LINK"><img src="YOUR IMAGE LINK"></a>

. If you make your buttons 150x150 you get four in a row (200x200 for three), to center them all you need to do is put your code one line after the other, and hit the space bar after each line to make a little space between them.

The place you can add your code is: for the frontpage in my zazzle=>gallery=>basic information, and for the product lines (sections) in the description. It´s a bit of work, but worth it in the end I guess. I have made a habit of creating a design, and when I saved the png reduce the graphic to 145x145 and add it as a new layer to a blank button I have created, then save the whole lot as jpg.

You can add html in you gallery basic information and the product line descriptions. There´s no limit -or I haven´t reached it yet Smile

You can´t add statcounter, but you can add Google analytics here:

my zazzle=>gallery=>basic information right down the bottom you click "Google analytics" and in the field provided add just the one line of tracking code you get from the Analytics account (UA-XXXXXXX-X).

Thanks Crew Designs and Hilly and everyone else for all that great info on How To at Zazzle. I'm too tired to make sense of it now, but I've copied the codes and save them, and I'll come back here later for more of the links. Time for bed (308am).

Thanks again you are all Great for sharing!

Okay....I think I'm actually starting to get the hang of this....now it's just a matter of time to get everything where I want and need it to be. This is one of those times when I'd like to be like Samantha from Bewitched! LOLOLOLOL

Well, I've been spending all day working on my tags. I was putting commas between all my tags and I never got any phrases. Now I'm going back through SIX shops and putting quotes around the phrases and leaving the commas out. I am amazed I've gotten as many sales as I have !! confused

whoo...I must have missed that. I need to put quotes around the phrases in Zazzle?

Mary Beth

Yes, I found that all my phrases were taken out, and the commas made a mess. I really don't know how I caught it, but boy, I'm sure glad I did. I still have three more stores to do.

Laurie

I never knew this but I wondered how to seperate the tags

So would you use quotes around ALL the tags ?? even one word tags ?

Posts : 159 Join date : 2009-04-25 Location : Mississippi

No commas, you just leave a space between your single words and then you put quotes around your phrases.

Laurie

I copied this from the place where you add your tags:

Tags help other people find your stuff. Separate your tags with a space (dog friend) or enclose them in quotes to tag a phrase (“golden gate bridge”).

This doesn't show up if you're editing your products.

Laurie

Right so something like:

"Super T-Shirt" "Excellent T-Shirt" "fantastic T-Shirts" "Skulls" "Demons"

and this goes at the end in tags when designing a product ??

How did you find this out ??

Posts : 159 Join date : 2009-04-25 Location : Mississippi

You don't need quotes around single words, just the phrases. Demons would have no quotes.

"Super T-Shirt" "Excellent T-Shirt" "fantastic T-Shirts" "Skulls" Demons
No tags at the end if it's a single word.

I went to edit a product, and noticed all my key words were gone except one!!!! I looked around and it was that way on most of my products. I made a new product, and that's where I read it. whew...

Thank you Laurie for pointing this out. I sure missed that step.

Posts : 159 Join date : 2009-04-25 Location : Mississippi

I'm sure most of the people from CP have missed that, also. I did post about it on POD for You, and I don't know where else to post. I did put it in Zazzle, too.

If you can think of more places, that would really help.

Laurie

Subject: Re: Show us your Zazzle Shops Tue Apr 28, 2009 5:44 pm

Yeah thanks a lot, so have you had more sales since you did that ?

Just to clarify single words just need a space between no quotes or commas ?

Posts : 159 Join date : 2009-04-25 Location : Mississippi

I just started today fixing them. I have a whole shop that was very wrong. The stuff I've sold I guess had just enough to be in the marketplace.

I will be able to know if it helps if I get a sale from this particular shop that's very niche.
