New to Zibbet? Tell us how to find your Zibbet shop

There are lots and lots of new members here. Many are not providing the URL for their Zibbet shop on their community profile page. (Of course, one need not have a shop to be a member of the community--all are welcome here.) We are a friendly group, and prefer to buy from other Zibbeters as much as possible. So, we would like to be able to find you.

Your community profile has a place to add the link to your shop. To get there, look at the box at the top of the right hand column of this page (assuming you are logged in).

Click on the Settings link in that box to open the My Settings page.

Below the section for your address on the My Settings page is a box in which to add your shop URL. To have a working link, in the box you must add "www.zibbet.com/yourshopusername" as indicated below.

Unfortunately, the default layout position puts the link to your shop far, far down the page. To make yourself more easily found, you can move the link to the top of your community page. To do this, click on the My Page link. Scroll down until you find the section labeled Profile Information. Hover your cursor over that line and the cursor will change to a 4-way arrow. You then can click on that section and drag it to another place on the page. You also can add links to your Facebook page, Twitter, blog, and additional shops under Find Me At and you can drag that section to the top in the same way. So people can click on your avatar in the community and easily find you, and send you money in exchange for your wonderful products. Your page can look something like this:

And don't hesitate to include a link to your shop(s) when you post in the forum, especially if you are asking for a shop critique.

Update August 1:

Under the Community Guidelines posted Aug 1 it appears the link under Find Me At to my website would not be permitted, so unless you see something from a Zibbet staffer allowing such a link you probably do not want to include that.

And since there have been many questions regarding how to include the Find Me At section, here is the answer where it is more likely to be seen:

On your My Page you should see a section labeled Text Box as shown here:

Click on the Edit button. You can label the section whatever you want. I called mine "Find Me At." Then I added the links into the box, saved it, and dragged it to the location shown on my page. If you don't want to use this for links to other locations this feature can be used to put pretty much whatever you want on your My Page.

Checked out your shop, Tony. Nice work. You are off to a great start at Zibbet. I'm sure you know without me saying so, but you could use a larger banner.

Thanks for the kind words. I have just flipped over from Etsy. Yes indeed, my banner needs to be upgraded. I dig your hat. Tony

I sell my own design of mini clutches... they hold your cellphone, a small digital camera, your business cards ....an amazing array of things. I make ladies and mens hats too. If it is sewn I can make it!

Karen,

I love the Watermelon mini clutch, very summery. It must be great to be from Peculiar, MO. You can be eccentric and just blame it on the place you live, very handy.
