Stepping back into Zazzle

[LSD72]

Well, I decided to take a look at it again after close to 2 years of doing nothing with my original store. Nothing better to do and the new email sign in to control multiple stores, I went ahead and named some new stores. Going to work on each store one at a time to get products up.

First one I am working on is a iPhone and iPad Skin Store. I set all stores to 19%.

I just wish I can put a header on the Zazzle store temple but no, they want me to know all this HTML Stuff just to remake the whole store. Ehhhh... not right now.

I still wished they allow you to put basic keywords and descriptions to images that auto import when you create a certain product. That's really the most annoying part to me.

What kind of header you mean, an image? You can upload an image to personalize your page.

Just go the Zazzle forum and do a search on 'header' or 'background image' and you'll find the code there.  It's pretty simple.

Also I highly recommend you create a sandbox store and play around with code there before you go changing your original store.

Header, the 900 x 100 pix image. I did a sandbox store and screwed up the CSS. Now I cannot get it so do anything with appearance. Guess you cannot delete the store either.

Opened another Sandbox store and was trying to do background image and header image. Went to validate the code and kept getting errors. Note: I was copying and pasting from something in the Zazzle forum.

I never was much of a coder for anything outside of regular HTML. Never could wrap my head around it. Java Script, Cold Fusion, Python.. I have tried.

You don't need to play with coding to have your header image. Under Store - Appearance, there is a link to change the header image.

You make Advanced Store Customization look every dangerous!

Oh..lemme go look then.

Yea.. if you dont know CSS, dont mess with the advanced part. No Help and No Support there. Thats why I had a private store to play with..well now 2...lol.

Edit: I saw that spot before. I want to use the "Linoleum" Zazzle "Choose a theme" with my Header though. Can't do that there.

Second edit: I guess I will be happy with this look. Not what I envisioned but it will work.

I personally like the looks of the page...but that's just me... I have my default % set at 30.5%.

If you're going to mess around with the hTML code I would suggest copy and pasting the original code into word...so if when you make changes it screws up you can always go back and copy the original code from word back into Zazzle.

Css is a little different animal than html. I actually did not save on the first store. I verified the code and showed errors. I backed out and it saved it somehow. Now you can do nothing with it.

Wait.. was going to link to show you but it fixed itself to basic CSS setting. It's useable now. OK.

I might make a better header for the iZone store in Xara.

LOL...I don't even know what CSS is..tells you how much I know about it all.
