Catagory listings don't work
Mar 25^th, 2010, 5:25am

I've posted and yet no good comes from it to get a simple answer. I've been trying to upload my card again, and again. It won't load due to the catagory listings are all messed up. It's a thank you card with a red baby dragon on it. Where the heck am I to list that under when the catagory listings won't let me put my card in ther meny listings it says it needs before I can get my card apporved? Seems like the catagory listings have gotten out of control and someone is messing with our head and they just might not be from the U.S. of A. cuss the listings are all messed up! Make this easier for me by saying where to click one stuff and where to click to get it uploaded to be aproved. I'm old and tired and don't want to hunt 20 times around the block to upload my cards.

I feel your frustration here and if I can help assist you in any way I would be happy to try. Can you give me more info on what kinda card it specifically is and where you would like to see it uploaded to? Then I will go see and write what I find here for you.

Hi again Patricia. That's not really what I meant. Let me re-ask you in a better choice of words. I am a member just like you and am not privy to access numbers and such to drop anything anywhere.. However if you give me a brief description of the card and text I can go look at the many category's and see if I can help you find the one your looking for. Your one card is as important to place as the multiple uploads. Help me help you.

My computer drawing of my red baby dragon is on the front of the card. How hard is it to get it in just the catagory of "Thank You" cards?

o.k then. Cool..

I see two category's for that one as a "Thank You" blank-General to be placed >>>
Unless you wish to gear the Thanks to something more specific such as a Pet care giver or a baby sitter or for a gift received. things such as that etc..

I see for Thank you-blank-general

1. Occasions>Thank You> General

2. Business> Thank You> General

Sounds like you made a card that could be quite specific if you wished it to. Dragons rock~

Does this help you any or should I look for more that might work 4 your needs?

There is no list for Dragons for Halloween listings, though I hope I got it right this time . I'll keep trying and not post my complaints for a while and make a new post if I can't find an old post to complain about things.

Hi Patricia, you're almost there!

The most important issue is the required margin allowance. The text at the top of your card is so close to the edge it will certainly be cropped off. All important detail, particularly text, needs to be within a 1/4 inch margin on all 4 sides. Many artists who do not trust their eyes use our card template.

You'll find a link to the template here in Artist FAQ #7:
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/about/answers.asp#7

Your chosen categories:
Holidays >> Halloween >> General
Occasions >> Other

Have been changed to:
Holidays >> Halloween >> General
Collections >> Mystical & Myths >> Dragons

Occasions >> Other doesn't work here as it's not an "Other" occasion, it's a Halloween card.

Lastly since card titles provide valuable data to search engines you should add Dragon to your card title. The same goes for pid#597363

So, your card has been returned to you so you can edit the text on your image.
