Club Presentation Tips

1. Make sure you're using Firefox!
2. Try saving your presentation as a normal presentation. That way you'll know if there is a real problem or if its just Stardoll.
3. Use a presentation you made yourself with HTML. Presentations made with Microsoft Word, Witty Profiles, etc. don't always work. (Witty uses div codes)
4. If you're trying to do something complex like putting a scrollbox in a background, make sure you put the codes together in the editor. Don't just drag the scrollbox into the background on Stardoll... it usually messes up.
5. Language. Stardoll is quite fussy about language, make sure there is nothing inappropriate in there. Or else it won't save.

Back! & Lessons

Heeey! I'm back! Missed you all. <3 But my exams went well, so I suppose it was worth it. Hope all of your exams & assessments went well! :D
Sooo if you're keeping up with the blog, you probably heard about the new lessons. Scrollboxes & Dragging. There are more lessons coming soon, so stay posted for them!
Also, custom samples will be coming soon. They will be sample presentations that you will be able to use for your page. Just be sure to leave credit, because it takes a lot of work to make the perfect pres. :)

Finding a Code

Ever see someone who has a presentation with something you've never seen before? Here's a little lesson on how to find a code from a presentation.

There are two things I suggest you try:

1. Check some HTML blogs and see if you can find it there

2. Use WittyProfiles* and drag the presentation into the "New Code" part. You can click source or whatever and get the code there.

* Witty uses codes so this might not work. Also, if the code is too long and messy Witty won't show you the whole code. #1 is probably you're best bet.

Dragging

Some of you've been wondering how to drag the presentation from the HTML editor to your Stardoll presentation. So here it goes. 


1. Open up one tab with the HTML editor and another with Stardoll. On Stardoll, go to your suite and edit your presentation like normal.
2. In the HTML editor, on the top part before your code, write Start. On the bottom half of the editor, highlight your presentation starting from where you wrote Start. 
3. Drag it up into the Stardoll tab, and let it go in the presentation editing area. You can write whatever you want to go in your presentation on Stardoll, I find it easier that way.


** Don't copy&paste. It never works for me. :\ If you're still having trouble, let me know.

The Basics

Hey everyone!
Here are a few basic things you need for making your presentations.
Mozilla Firefox: This is a type of internet browser. If you don't already have it on your computer, you can download it for free on the Mozilla Firefox website.
There are a few websites you will NEED to use every time you make a presentation. They are:  
htmledit.squarefree.com
http://webdeveloper.earthweb.com/repository/javascripts/2001/06/48571/hex.html
The first one is where you'll put the codes, and the second one is where you get the colour codes. This might seem really confusing at first, but I promise you it won't be too bad. It's actually quite fun! :)
