On my main Zazzle page I have 2 sections that I want to get rid of but I can't figure out where and how to do this. Any suggestions?

I'll try, Sassybites. . .

Sections as in Log of Comments left by viewers?
or
Sections as in product display thumbnails?

When you sign in, click on My Zazzle, then on Store, you will see a list on the upper left side that includes EDIT CONTENT. . .which will bring up a list of all the "features" that are available in your shop. . .you can click the ones you want and those you want to remove. . . etc.

If it is product designs. . .when you sign in, etc., and click on Products. . .you can click on the Product Lines listed on the left side of the page, and then EDIT or DELETE if you wish by going to the top of the page and clicking on what you want to do up there. . .

Gee, it is like the blind leading the blind, but I couldn't let you just dangle here without answering to the best of my limited ability LOL hope I helped!!

LOL! Thank you Ann. It's kind of a moot point now because I went into total customization mode last night There was no other way to get down into the CSS to see what I am going to have to deal with. The scary part is that Z doesn't use true CSS, it' some kind of manipulated version. Which means I have to learn it all over again. Unless I can sweet talk some kind soul out of their basic CSS and the HTML that matches. Then I can learn this new stuff as I make changes.

just a warning to all: Customization is still in Beta, so if you mess up you mess up and might loose your shop (has happened ...)

best thing: open a new shop as a test shop and customize away, when you´re happy copy and paste the code.

Jana, I don´t think you can get rid of the links. I´m sure they´re part of a module that won´t let you open the shop anymore (The one that also has your icon, "home" etc in it).

Have a read through the posts in the forum regard customization, Bradley tried it I think and didn´t get far ...

You're correct. I've been reading and testing tonight and there are a few of the side bar items that I can't get rid of. That side bar is going to make me crazy! LOLOL

You can move that lot to the bottom of the sidebar like I did http://www.zazzle.com/felidae52

Well, I got a Zazzle store opened. Created 15 sub-sections. Added 1 product to each section so it didn't look so empty. Took me hours to add those 15 items. I see they have a *create-a-whole-bunch-of-stuff-at-once* option. With this new store I'm trying something different .... my sections are set up for product types and not designs. I had to move 1 item last night and it took about an hour to finally show up again. How difficult is it going to be if I make use of the option to create a big bunch of products and then move each item to it's proper category? Is that lag while moving normal?
