Redbubble tool bar

Redbubble Toolbar

Forgive the out dated pictures I've added a lot of new links etc. Will update soon
I created a tool bar to navigate redbubble, I'm currently adding and up dating it as I go, But this toolbar will update itself so if all the Bubblians are using it and I change it, Everyone's will change to makes sharing it more fun and, Hopefully I'll get some feed back on how to make it better.Cause it will make tasks on the bubble faster.Enough said here is what I got so far.
Clicking the Plus Button will give you the menu below
This is where the current group bars are located You can Change them to you favorite group(It will notify you when new Group bars when available) The edit button will allow to keep control of this list by adding or deleting.More about group bars later.






The down arrow next to redbubble logo will open a menu of options notice the "Suggestions by bubblemail" link contact me with suggestions. The options are pretty much self explanatory the "Toolbar options" will open a new box with many features to make the bar work for you.

















Below are the options that can be enabled or disabled.


































Shortcuts to some software can be found on this menu (I use Note Pad alot)




Creating new works are
all gathered in one place











Usefull site links can be found under the "Site links" Button

The "My feed links" Contain the other buttons that are very handy to have Quick access to










And that is what I've got for the Redbubble toolbar see my next post for the group bar.

How to Customize Redbubble

How to Customize Redbubble
This how to will explain how to create that Custom Redbubble Profile you've always wanted.
These methods will work on your Profile Page,Description Box,Forums and Bubblesite (Home Page content & About Page content boxes) any redbubble text box

Working with text Use the below symbols with no spaces
Place the symbols before and after the text
Example: +envelope150+ will be envelope150
  • symbol # =creates a larger font header only (First line of text)
  • For a new Paragraph press enter twice
  • symbol * = bolds
  • symbol _ = italic
  • symbol ^ = small upper
  • symbol – = creates grey text
  • symbol ~ = makes text smaller
  • symbol + = Underlines the text
  • symbols * * * = Will make a simple line across your page (Journal entries only)
  • symbol # = · bullet text
You can make your text clickable or link to a web address

Put quotation symbols ” ” on each side of the word/sentence you want to make Clickable and then a Colon : (no spaces), Now put the url (web address) where you want the clicker to go

It will look similar to below

"View My Gallery":http//example.redbubble.com

You can also make a Text box appear when hovering over the link by adding text in brackets

Like this "View My Gallery(Go to My Gallery)":http//example.redbubble.com

The text above in ( ) will appear in a box if someone hovers over the link

Here is how you can create a contact link or e-mail me link

Example: "contact me":mailto:me@myemail.com

Using images in your descriptions ,profile page,etc

First you must know where the image is located (web address)

Example: http://www.mypicture is here.jpg

To use an image from redbubble click the "show public view" in your "Art" section

then click the "Buy/Preview" Button

Set the image as you wish to use it, Card, Framed print etc...once you are done follow the instructions below to get the web address

If using firefox simply right click the image and select "copy image location"


Using Internet explorer right click the image then select "Properties"
A Properties box will appear copy the Address(URL) High lighted in blue below
by Highlighting the text then "right click" and choose "copy"
or once it is hightlighted hold the "control(CTRL)" key and press "C"

Using Safari select "Copy image address"











You can now paste the image location(right click and select "paste" or hold the Control key and press "V" on your key board) Now put a ! before an after the image location (No Spaces) like this !http://www.mypicture is here.jpg!
To make it clickable or linked add the colon : and web address
:http://www.your going here.com

The final entry Will look like below (No Spaces)
