these were added one by one... no widget. Shocked

that is why i was up so late.

there is a widget available for adding to your website etc and i think you can earn from it still, but this is using the new "sell this card" feature they just implemented, the little dollar sign and copy and paste the code.

the widget on my blog is for zazzle. i had one for gcu but took it off sometime ago, it was limited to a small amount of cards and i got lazy about changing what was featured... my zazzle one is probably stale by now too.

You have a beautiful blog and have chosen a nice selection of cards. Here's one of mine that has sold. It has a sports/ocean theme, if you want to add some more sports-related cards.

Somehow I missed reading about the "Sell this Card" feature, what a great idea to help us promote one another by providing the html code on each individual card. Something I'll definitely be adding to my website soon!

Very nice Denise!! Thank you for sharing that with us! I didn't know about the Sell this Card feature either. I do a fair amount of promoting other artist's work on lots of my websites and blogs, always wishing it was a simple thing to do here at GCU...and now it is!!

Your blog looks great! I wish you and the artists much success!!

Denise,
Your blog looks fantastic. I, too started adding cards on my blog last night. You are right....very time-consuming to do each one, one by one. But, it's worth it.

I will be adding other people's designs soon (If that's okay). I just started with Blogger and am still learning the ropes.

Keep up your great work!
