Starter Kit Widget

May 1st, 2012 • By: Amy • Stampin' Up! Demo Related

Below is the code for the Starter Kit… the Canadian code has the $125 graphic in it (don't worry)!

As usual, I have bolded the link to the flyer so that you can redirect the widget to anywhere you wish (likely your DBWS opportunity page is the best).

Widget for Retiring Products

April 25th, 2012 • By: Amy • Stampin' Up! Demo Related

Okay… so it looks suspiciously similar to the last one, LOL!

This widget is set up to link directly to the Category page that has the links to all of the discontinuing sets, accessories, etc. So, you might want to remove the old one and use this new one.

AMERICAN:
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=736" target="_blank"><img src="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss329/websbyamy/RetiredLists.png" border="0" /></a>

CANADIAN:
<a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=737" target="_blank"><img src="http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss329/websbyamy/RetiredLists.png" border="0" /></a>

For those of you who wish to edit the link to go to your online store (you must have a DBWS for this to work), swap out the following link for the red link above and don't forget to change the XXXXXX to your Demonstrator ID#. The widget will post directly to your online store.

Retiring Stamps Widget

April 15th, 2012 • By: Amy • Stampin' Up! Demo Related

Here is the widget for the Retiring Stamp Sets. The main (top widget) links to the PDF version and the bottom links to the Excel sortable file.

I have highlighted the first URL to make it easier to change the link to where you want it to go if you wish to link it to an article on your site or directly to the Stampin' Up! store.

COOL TRICK: The category for the retired stamps (for the US) is at:
http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryID=920
Your customers can 'see' the lists (I'm a visual person, LOL).

But did you know (if you have a DBWS) you can edit that link to go to your own store using this code:
http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=920&dbwsdemoid=XXXX

For other 'category' pages, just change the Category ID (and of course your Demo ID) and use that code! You get the category ID number from the SU 'store' page.

Shareaholic ‘Sexy Bookmarks’

March 11th, 2012 • By: Amy • Plugins, Video, Wordpress Tips & Tricks

I've been getting a number of questions about adding a Google +1 and/or Pinterest buttons to a WordPress site. And to tell you the truth, I've had to help several clients recover from plugins or script add on's that add these buttons as a standalone that end up conflicting with other plugins.

So, it got me to thinking how much I love and use SexyBookmarks on my Ustamp4fun blog and I actually use it myself to post my articles to Facebook and to Twitter. So in answer to people who are having trouble linking their articles from Facebook… this is also a solution for you.

The only drawback was that SexyBookmarks didn't have a Pinterest button… which got me to asking Uncle Google… and I found two things 1) WordPress.org Plugin Repository no longer carries SexyBookmarks by Shareaholic and 2) the latest version DOES have Pinterest, BUT can only be downloaded via www.shareaholic.com.

If you are reading this on my site, you can watch the video below on how to download and configure Shareaholic. I strongly suggest that you create an account from the beginning so that you can get more information about the information being shared.

By posting this video, I do not claim to be an expert and cannot help you with the plugin if it does not work for you… you will have to contact Shareaholic for that.
