Instructions:
After logging in look for the User Menu (lower right side of screen). This is where all uploading begins. All articles & links that you add will be approved by admin before going live onto the site. So don't worry about making mistakes.
Basic Rule of Thumb - Once you click on 'Save' you will no longer be able to make any editing changes until the article is made live by the Administrator. If you are not finished editing your article and would like to come back later, the only way to come back later to edit will be to save what you've done (by clicking 'Save') and send us an email explaining that you'd like to continue editing. We'll then change the status of your article to 'Special Access', which means that only Store Owners can see your article on the site. Then click on the tiny pencil icon above the article to edit. At that point you may click the 'Save' button as many times as you wish and you will continue to have the ability to edit. You and the administrator will be the only ones that will be able to edit your article. Once you are finished, send a second email to the admin so that we may change the article to 'Public Access' so that our visitors can see it on the site.
Submit Your Special -
Click on 'Submit Your Special' in the User Menu. A page will open where you can enter the appropriate information. Choose a title that is a good tease for your Special that includes your company name.
The information in the text box should give the following facts about your special.
- What is the special? (Is it a 2 for 1 offer? A percentage discount? Something free with every purchase? etc..)
- How does the shopper receive this special? (Must they add a code into a box upon checkout? Is is automatic? Must they leave a comment? etc...)
- When does the Special Offer end? (Is it for a certain month? Does it end on a certain day? etc...
Your special should be a short paragraph. If it is longer than that (which is fine) we encourage you to add a Read More tag where you want the words 'Read More' to be, and where the shopper will click to be taken to a separate page where they can read the rest. To do this, just put your cursor where you want the Read More tag to go and click on the 'Read More' button below the text box.
Do not check the box which puts your Special on the Front Page!
To add a photo to your Special, choose the Add Image icon from the tool bar and follow the directions. Make sure when you add the link to your site that you choose to open your site in a 'new window'. You also have the option of adding a banner to show what your special is, but please do not add one that is wider than 300 pixels.
Under 'Section', choose 'Specials'. Under 'Category', choose your own company name with the word Specials behind it.
When editing your article, while there are many fonts and colors to choose from, we ask that you only use black, Arial font. The size of the headline can be size 3, but please make the majority of your article size 2. You may add some green font just for certain areas to stand out. Thank you for abiding by this so that the Specials page remains uniform.
The only other place that you may add to is the 'Start Publishing' & 'Finish Publishing' box. Just click on the calender boxes behind each and double click on the date for each. This will help you if you'd like to set up Specials in advance. This also will make your Special disappear on the appropriate date.
When finished - Click on the 'Save' button on the top right.
Everyone is encouraged to add a Special. But only those on the 1st level may have it added to the 'Specials' page on the site. Other levels will have their special offers sent out in the monthly e-newsletter that will go out within the first week of every month.
Submit Your Article, Press Release or Event (See below for adding your Beauty Recipes)-
Click on 'Submit An Article' in the User Menu. A page will open where you can enter the appropriate information. Choose a title that is a good tease for your subject
Add your article into the text box the way you want to see it.
To add a photo to your Special, you have 2 options. If you'd like to load a picture from your own computer directly onto the site, choose the 'Image' button below the text box. If your image sits on its own url, choose the Insert/Edit Image button up in the tool bar (looks like a little tree in a box). This will also give you other apperarance editing special options.
Under 'Section', choose 'Store Owner Articles'. Under 'Category', choose either 'Article', 'Beauty Recipe', 'Event' or 'Press Release'.
Make sure to add your name and company name into the 'Author Alias' box so that you get credit for your article. (Ex. - 'Jane Doe of Natural Product Company')
Access level should be marked 'Public' by default. This is the proper setting.
When finished - Click on the 'Save' button on the top right.
Adding any of these is a wonderful way to get additional exposure on the site. It will also get you extra mention in the monthly e-newsletter. It really pays to utilize these options as often as possible. More exposure = More business :)

Click on 'Submit An Article' in the User Menu. A page will open where you can enter the appropriate information. Add the name of your recipe in the Title Area.
