Can
anyone please help? I am new to selling digital info products and
I am having some trouble uploading the screenshots (graphics) for
Vol2. I have followed the instructions as seen on Vol3 -video23- using
netscape composer and everything appears fine. When i return to my
sales letter the images are there but when I click on a graphic a
page appears telling me that it cannot find server. Where am I going
wrong? Any advice would be most welcome.
Thanks
Carl

Thanks
for the swift reply Louis. I was trying to upload onto ebay so unfortunately
you won't be able to have a look. If it is of any use, I customised
the sales letter using netscape composer snd all appeared to be fine
but when I transferred it to ebay the graphics were missing (most
of them). Any idea what i did wrong or forgot to do?
PS. Us "newbies" must be a right pain.
Thanks for your time

Hi
Carl
You enter the HTML of the web page into eBay as your auction listing.
However, since you can't insert graphics into your eBay auction (without
using eBay's graphic hosting service) you need to "call"
the graphics from your web site.
For example, let's say I entered the HTML for this page into my eBay
auction:
http://www.reprintrightseverymonth.com/sites/99vol2/
However, I would have to specify within the HTML where to call the
graphics from.
And also - there's two graphics you need to call:
The small ones that appear in the auction listing, and the big one
that appears when a small graphic is clicked upon.
Therefore, to "call" the small graphic into the eBay auction,
the HTML for that is:
<img src="www.AddressOfGraphic">
For example:
<img src="http://www.reprintrightseverymonth.com/sites/99vol2/screenshots/small/01.gif">
However, that small graphic needs to be clickable, so on either side
of the <img> tag needs to be the <a> tag. The <a>
tag makes something clickable.
For example:
<a href=http://www.ClickAddress.com><img></a>
However, I want the click to open in a new window so I use:
<a href=http://www.ClickAddress.com target=_blank><img></a>
Therefore the entire HTML in my case would be:
<a href=http://www.reprintrightseverymonth.com/sites/99vol2/screenshots/01.gif
target=_blank>
<img src="http://www.reprintrightseverymonth.com/sites/99vol2/screenshots/small/01.gif">
</a>
That's the HTML required. Netscape Composer hides most of that, but
you can view the HTML if it helps.
The point is, you need to ensure you have the correct "calling"
path for both the small graphic that appears in the eBay auction and
the big graphic that is jumped to.
In my case the two paths would be something like:
http://www.reprintrightseverymonth.com/sites/99vol2/screenshots/small/01.gif
(for the small graphic)
http://www.reprintrightseverymonth.com/sites/99vol2/screenshots/01.gif
(for the big graphic - which is jumped to)
Sincerely,
Louis

Sorry,
it has taken so long to get back! Thank you Louis for your advice
- Problem sorted. I hadn't realized that in order to display the graphics
I needed to upload them to a web server which thankfully were no trouble
at all with the guidance of your educatioinal video.
Kindest Regards
Carl
