BrickLink customize store front question

Post by 1brickshyofcrazy » Tue Jan 31, 2012 10:23 am

Hi,

Not sure where to post this question on the TnB forum so if its wrong please move to correct place. Thanks...

So anyway I am considering opening a store front on BrickLinks and want to know how everyone is customizing the store front splash page and store terms page as well. I know I could do more research but I'm being lazy and hoping someone has a quick answer to this question...

Thanks...

Just good ole HTML (maybe some CSS thrown in for good measure). Basically, you have to wrap text in HTML tags for them to display in a specific format. Using

<p> (text here) </p>

makes a paragraph, with extra padding above and below. Using

<h1> (text here) </h1>

gives you a "level 1 heading", which is to say very large text. Headings go from 1-6 (meaning <h1></h1>, <h2></h2>, <h3></h3>, etc.)

Unordered lists are good formatting tools as well. The HTML looks like this:

Code: Select all

<ul>
<li>First list item</li>
<li>Second list item</li>
<li>Third list item</li>
</ul>
The result will look like this
  • First list item
  • Second list item
  • Third list item

Thanks actually I was trying to find where in the settings under your bricklink store account do you find the location to do the HTML and mods to make the store front look something other than plain but I think I found it under a tab in store settings. It's not really easy to find stuff and maneuver around in it until you start looking around and getting familiar with the tabs on there but hey it works and I'm just Thankful there is an alternative to the evilbay. :-D :shock: :mrgreen: :lol:

Thanks again...
