Thanks for the encouraging words, Sandi. Craftsu is now about a year old and I feel I've learned a lot from my involvement. I had to let go of what I thought it was about early on and instead listen to the voices of the community here. At the very least, it's improved my sense of what social media really is about. And hopefully, even though I'm not much of a techie kind of person, we'll find more ways to make Craftsu a better resource.

Hi James:

Boy you are really on the job, aren't you?  Always monitoring, always watching, quick to reply, quick to respond.  That's what I call good business management.  Like I said, I admire the way you do things and I learn a lot by just observing your day to day behavior.  I know your books are gold mines.

Thanks for all of your help.

Hey James,

I followed the tutorial and placed the email code for the ADD TO CART paypal button to some of my offerings descriptions box, however, the actual button does not appear under the photo of the item. Instead the entire url appears underlined. How can I make the yellow button appear for my customers to buy?

Hi Joan

I have updated the steps to include some sample coding that includes a Buy Now image and centers it under the image. Here is the sample code:

<p align="center"><a href="HERE IS WHERE TO ENTER THE URL FROM PAYPAL" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.craftmarketer.com/images/1-buy-button.gif" width="107" height="26"/>
</a></p>

 

http://www.craftmarketer.com/images/1-buy-button.gif  is an image of a buy button I uploaded to my site, www.craftmarketer.com. You are welcome to use it or create your own and upload to a site of your own. Be sure to update your HTML code to reference the complete URL to your image.
