Lightbulb *IMPORTANT, ATTENTION PLEASE*

Your layout may be at risk of being deleted!!! Please read!!!

The gallery system deletes pictures that have the same title as it assumes it is a duplicate!!

Protect your upload!!! Here's how:

Give your FILE a unique name BEFORE YOU UPLOAD IT. When you scan or take a picture of your creation, change the file name on your computer to something unique rather than a number like 1.jpg, or scan001.jpg. When files have the same generic name as others (which is the case a LOT lately), they will get removed when we scan for duplicate posts. So. . .try something like your username_petalprints1.jpg and yours won't get deleted!

If you have already uploaded your layout and you see that your title is the same as other players then edit your picture and change your title.

For example if I have "All In A Name" as the title of my layout and so do 6 other players....our layouts are in jeopardy of being deleted!!! I would go into my gallery, go to the picture and using the edit button I would change my title to "All In A Name strongcanadianbeauty".

If you need any help or have questions please post them here.

Thank you for reading this announcement

This is how I rename my photos before uploading:

AUG09VSBNFteacherMissBOO

So even if some one has AUG09VSBNFteacher, I'm protected by adding MissBOO

Welcome to your first VSBN!!!!

To answer your question....no, you don't have to put ALL the supply companies in your upload.

Personally I decide what I will put depending on how much time I can or am willing to put into it. At the very least I do put a few things in each field but I don't list all company names.....for instance I might do this:

Stamps - Various Inkadinkadoo
Paper - Blue Bayou, WW, Basic Grey, SU! DSP
Ink - Basic Grey
Accessories - 2 inch circle punch, misc blue ribbon, brads, stickles

It's up to you to decide how much you want to list and how you'd like to write it up. The reason for giving the details is so someone admiring your work will know what you used specifically in case they'd like to duplicate some part of your work. Giving credit to the company whose supplies you used is good too but you could be there forever....when I buy ribbon at a dollar store or Michaels I just say it was misc. ribbon.... You do not need to list everything and what you do list you do not need to be perfectly specific....it's up to you and your time frame.

HTH
