*Thumbnail Picture Tutorial*
 

 

I had previously sent people directly to the FLOCK website to download the browser.  Unfortunately, when they changed to their latest edition, it took away the ability to use the drag and drop clickable thumbnail pictures. 

So... until they have this problem corrected... I thought I would show you how you can manually add thumbnail pictures to your auctions!

This will require that you have an account with Photobucket.  It can either be a FREE account, OR a Pro (paid) account.

You can sign up by clicking the link below:

Remember, if you're copy/pasting into TurboLister2 or directly into eBay... you're going to want to be SURE that you copy/paste into the HTML view!

First, you need to log in to your account:

After you've logged in... you'll need to go to wherever you have the pictures you'd like to make thumbnails of... If you've never used Photobucket before... Here's a tip.  Make sure that you're saving your pictures into *files* (you will create them yourself) so that you'll be able to find your pictures, once they're uploaded... I usually use the date (ex. 020207) as my file name... You can use whatever you're comfortable using. 

 

1 ~ Now, you'll want to click on the little box next to the picture you'd like the thumbnail of... It will automatically put a little CHECK mark, in the box.

2 ~ Next click on the *Generate HTML and IMG code* in the bottom right-hand corner

 

 

The first box above, that says RECOMMENDED... is the box you'll going to copy & paste into your auction.   You can click on the PREVIEW button, and it will show you what the thumbnail will actually look like.  It will also show you how it actually works!  It will take a minute or two (less time, once you get used to it!!) BUT... *I* believe that it's really worth it, as it gives your potential customer a MUCH faster *load* time on your auctions!
