Today's Best shocking story.... (My silliness)

Posts : 35 Join date : 2009-05-02 Location : Tokyo, Japan

Tonight, I'v been uploading my designs and during the time that I was working,
I made lots of mistakes especially with templates. It was my "Sigh" moment.

And then, I was informed that my Labrador mug was awarded as Today's Best there via email.
Well, I rushed to the site to check it out....

OMG!!!!!!! OMG!! affraid

The design was the one that it should be corrected right now. AWWWWWWWWW. I know I make this kind of mistakes so many times. But what a bad timing!!!
I just can't believe it. I'm ashamed. Embarassed

STUPID ME!!! Mad

What do people feel to see such a stupid design??? I feel blue.

Anyway, I emailed to Zazzle support team. Hope they change it soon.

Thanks for listening.

I feel for you Naomi (insert BIG HUG smilie" but, maybe it is something that only YOU would notice. You're very close to your designs, and probably nobody else would even notice. Also, people know that we are artists putting up our designs, and that maybe they think your design is "cool" !!!

Congratulations on the TBA, they thought is was just fine to be able to give you the award!!

Well, your TBA is still nice!!

I have a Japanese niece who just went to Japan to see her father and sister, and they took some very beautiful pictures of her girls in Japanese attire. I am trying to learn how to put a picture in here... but how do you do it? I have it saved as a file.

Well, I couldn't find the original HELP post that told how to resize the image once in our Forum, so I removed my huge image. . .

OMG ! BIG, yes!!!

There is a little box up above the box you write your Post in. . .the 7th box in. . .if you mouse over it, it says IMAGE. . .you just click on that then type the URL of your image in the box that comes up!

It makes a link that looks like Today's Best shocking story.... (My silliness) then your URL is here

Today's Best shocking story.... (My silliness) then your URL is here

so you could type that line in if you didn't want to use their INSERT IMAGE tool, but you don't have to.

The above image is my painting of Caspian (bless his dear departed little heart - who belonged to Moonduster from CP) it is hosted on Photobucket, so I just put his URL in the box and walla! We have him! I'll leave it for now, but if it is taking up too much room, I can make him smaller !!!

Absolutely gorgeous, Ann. Boy, you really have talent.

What URL???? It's just a jpg picture in my documents, should I save it somewhere and make it a URL??

Hi Laurie! What Ann is saying is that the image needs to be hosted somewhere online for you to be able to post it in the forum. This is because on most forums, you are not allowed to upload files to the actual forum site, for security and storage space reasons.

Putting your pictures online is easy. One of the most popular ways is by using an online gallery like https://www.photobucket.com. Opening an account is free and you can then upload your images there.

Then you take the URL of the image and stick it in an IMG tag, like this:

Code:: [img]http://your_image_url[/img]

On PhotoBucket, the URL will probably look something like this:

Code:: http://i0006.photobucket.com/albums/0006/findstuff22/Best%20Images/Funny/funnysignthumb-1.jpg

Which would result in this:
Today's Best shocking story.... (My silliness) Funnysignthumb-1

(Please note that the above image is not mine, I merely posted it here for educational purposes. Plus, it's funny.. Smile

)

Hope that helps!

PS: And I agree, Ann is extremely talented! Ann, your art is amazing!

Thank you, FroodyStuff! And I just read in the Forums Help how to make poor Caspian a better size. . . (thank you, Laurie! I love the detail in Caspian!!!) . . .now I will Edit my Post and make him a more reasonable size!

Wow, that's pretty big, but I have the idea, now. I just sent it up to my website.

Thanks for the help, and now if I need to do it again, I know how! Very Happy

What a pair of DARLING babies!!! They must have had the time of their lives in Japan!!

So glad you "learned" how to share the photo with us!!!

Laurie,
What a beautiful pic!! They look so adorable and happy. Thank you for sharing.
I feel better now. I love you

FYI: I was messed up with Text1, Text2 in my template. The text which was supposed to be printed inside the greeting card was printed on the image on one side of the mug.

Naomi

I think we've all made silly mistakes like that, but to actually lose your TBA really stinks!

Can we get your caring dragonfly as a smilie??? Today's Best shocking story.... (My silliness) 187714

I have 100"s of these that I have made. My DF is kind of my alter ego...at least for the internet. Most places I am known as "Lil' D" (Dragonfly)

Oh....there's the REAL crying one....

They're great, Bambi! Can we get them for smilies???

That's up to John. If he wants. I was saving this one for someone saying something they weren't supposed to, but I really don't see it happening with this group........

I have bored ones, sick ones, fingers crosses, laughing, traveling, hugs,excited, innocent....

OMG the list goes on! I even have an iPod dancing one. LOL

Well, what do you say, John?????? Very Happy

The only thing I would ask is that they stay here only. They are my own copyrighted designs and I'd sure hate to see other places with them!

Oh Happylab, that's such a shame! I really feel for you. But on the bright side, if you've done something well enough to get one, there'll be more I'm sure. Very Happy

Love the dragonflies Bambi, really neat! cyclops

<--- I have no idea what that means, but it shows we need dragonflies or something lol!
