My fantasy art captures the emotions of the fantasy realm. I primarily works with oil paints & graphite pencils. My art is available as prints, cameos, earrings, Limited Edition canvas prints, keychains, bookmarks buttons and magnets.

I also paint murals & faux finishes. ;)

Thanks for checking it out! B)

thanks Renee! I try to keep myself busy & keep things fresh looking. ;)

Hello Victoria
Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my website, I appreciate it. :P
I did create my site mostly by myself, but I did ask a lot of questions and had help from Renee to get things finally looking the way I wanted it to. All of the design and overall look was thought up by me. I needed Renee to help me with inputting the ideas in my head into cyber space. :laugh:
Some of the things I wanted to do, but didn't know how I asked here on the forum. Most of the issue I had was with designing the layout. Here are links to the threads on the forum as they may help you out. Renee posted/explained the html code & where to add them:

Adding Images to TAbles & Sizing

STAT counter question:
http://wahmhosting.com/forum/14-help-with-other-cart-areas/122-stat-counter

I also know some html codes just by doing research online. that has helped me out a lot with creating things & being able to "read" what is already in the general templates that WAHM has. I go to this website a lot for html code reference:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

The sites now are more user friendly without having to know html code, but I think knowing some basics is still helpful.

There are many other design things that I did which Renee either explained to me how to do via email or somethings she just did herself, so if you have a specific design question, let me know & I will do my best to help you out. :)

Hello Nicole

I think I can help you with the things you are trying to do. Some of it I may have to respond separately just because I need to figure out how I did it again since it has been a couple of years. lol :P

To change the background on your website follow these steps:

1. upload the image you want as your background to your image manager & know the name of the file/image
2. click on the "design" link
3. click on the "template manager" sub link
4. you should then see 3 options to select in the main window (3column.html, box_headers.php and stylesheet.css) select/highlight "stylesheet.css" and the click on the "edit" button to the right
5. I suggest copying and pasting the existing code that is already there into a word file and saving it. that way if you screw something up you can always just change it back to the way it was originally ;)
6. you are going to see a bunch of html codes and stuff. at the top of the coding there should be the words: BODY and stuff written after it (I cannot remember what since mine is already changed) Here is what mine looks like:

BODY {background-image: url("/images/backgroundDD2.jpg"); color: #1a0608; text-align: center;}

7. You will basically need to changes yours to the same code, but after the /images/ you need to type in the name of the file for your background that you uploaded. As you can see my image file name is backgroundDD2.jpg
I am not sure if I changed anything with the color number but you can probably cross reference it with yours.

I hope this makes sense. It is hard to explain this stuff in writing so let me know if you need some clarification.

Hello Nicole

ok here are the directions for making the category headers a fancy font.

1. I created my fancy fonts as an image in photoshop. I have them sized to 300dpi, 159 pixels wide (0.53 inches) by 57 pixels high (0.19 inches).
2. Upload them to your image manager and remember the name of file/jpg
3. login to your site & click on the "catalog" link on the left side
4. click on the sublink "BOX_CATEGORIES_MORE_CATEGORIES"
5. You will see a page that looks like this:
[IMG]http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd291/ddavoli/Picture1.png[/IMG]
6. In the area on the left I added this html code:

<center><img src="images/ArtGallery3.jpg"></center>

that is what creates the Fancy font image above my link-able categories.
You can copy & paste the code above, but you will change the name of "ArtGallery3.jpg" to whatever the name of your file/image is.
7. Make sure you select "yes" under the html code too.
8. You can continue adding fancy font image to other sections by scrolling down to the next category box.
9. You will see the drop down menus on the right side allow you to select what linkable categories you want under the fancy font image. Select the categories from the drop down menu and once you have all of them in, you will probably have extra drop down categories that you will not use. Just make the remaining ones all of the same. You can see that most of mine are "original art"

let me know if you have any questions. B)

Hi Nicole
I tried posting the directions for adding the fancy font images but for some reason it is not showing up. Hopefully it does here:
