That is a very good question that I bet a lot of others would like to know, too!

you need to use the [url] codes, here's an example:

[ url= insert link here ] Awesome Kit Name Here [ / url ] by Awesome Studio Designer Here

just remove the spaces so that everything is squished up together in the url brackets and it should hyper-link your words for you

[NancyP]

HUH???? Talking a foreign language again!!! I am SOOOO computer illiterate about that kind of stuff!!!!!

[Jacque]

Nancy...lets see if this helps. first kim is talking about when u credit your kit and u see the name with a link instead of a bunch of code so its neater looking.

so you copy every thing she posted as is and paste into the space where you would put your credits when uploading your LO.
[ url= insert link here ] Awesome Kit Name Here [ / url ] by Awesome Studio Designer Here

then HERE [ url= insert link here ] u put the the info from the kit in the info bar at the top of page...AFTER url=
example: http//so and so's new kit would go AFTER [url=
THEN u remove ALL spaces from there. (kim put the spaces in because if not it will make a link and u can't see it)

all html code has a open and close so the internet knows what to do with it. [url= is open [/url] closes it.

Then Awesome Kit Name Here is the name of the kit and same for by this designer. Then again u remove ALL spaces EXCEPT for any in kit name and designer name. otherwise NO SPACES.

so hoped i helped but probably confused u more

if u have never done this try it. go to any page on the internet that is NOT flash created. right click and choose VIEW PAGE SOURCE. u will see what the internet and coders see. all that crazy info is telling the internet to show your pretty pictures

[mandak]

Or. Type it here in the forum in a reply. Not a quick reply. Then highlight the word you want to link and click the little globe icon above the text box. Paste your URL in the pop up window. Then copy/paste that from the forum to the gallery!!!

i totally understand using the template 'as is' so that it shows what it looks like. when u say small tweeaks...i want to make sure of what is ok. if a template has a cluster of 5 images (we'll say flowers) can we put 7? etc. as long as we keep the integrity of the template?

thanks for all your work. off to find LO's to use...and i'm glad u said we could use more than one it does make it a bit easier specially with these wonderful cluster templates that require a lot of elements

Sorry I missed this earlier. The answer is yes. You can add to a cluster on a template. But totally rearranging the photo layout is not ok. Let's also not change the number of photos on the templates for this challenge.

URL, of course! I'm gonna try it next time! Thanks a bunch!

[NancyP]

Ahhhhh-----thanks gals, but my head is spinning around in circles!!! Is it suppose to be doing that???? I always wondered how you gals put your layouts in the thread and all you have to do is click on them!!! Would love to learn that!

[mandak]

Nancy, it's the same as they are talking about with the words. I'll do a tutorial, watch for it later today!

[momto7]

I really hope that there will be a few more kits from round 2 posted soon. I have already done 2 different pages, and am waiting to see what becomes available before I post my official entry.
Am I overthinking this? lol.

[mandak]

Brenda, no! It's OK to wait until the last minute. I am sure some more kits will pop in soon.

[wvsandy]

I love the collab created by combining all of the kits from Round 1. Here's my LO.

[kcarlsen]

Here's my page! Just loved working with all of the great NDC kits and of course those great templates! Good luck everyone! I'm just blown away by all of the talent so far!

[NancyP]

Brenda, I'm the same way! I'll do a bunch of pages and then sit there and ponder over which one I should enter!!

[kdk929]

Here is mine...I can't ponder any more!

Alrighty...There are so many kits to chose from and so much overload. I like the theme of the MOON that the designers are using and thought I could do something with some pics I took of a Lunar Eclipse this past winter. (such a learning time on how to capture details so far away with my camera.)
So here is my MOON layout using the #4 template...all of these are awesome templates! THANKS

[rabbitrun]

Here's mine. I felt I should stay with one kit like real life. I still cannot get the words to hyperlink, but... Great layout ladies!

This particular kit caught my eye and my imagination as soon as I saw it! It was SO wonderful to work with and was lacking in nothing, which is really great!!

[mama4bears]

I finally had to stop "tweaking" - I was making myself crazy... Here's my LO for round 2, loved using several of the kits from round 1. Aimee, your templates are fantastic! Good luck everyone!
