On my static pages, I would like to add things like images, forms, and links. I really don't want to hear you say that I need to purchase the Html Editor! That is the last thing I want to do(learn/buy) right now!!!!
I'm an artist, yes I like a good challenge but come on...I need a break! If I do, would it be worth it for me to get the free Bob and Larry html software?

1. Images:
I haven't even attempted to figure this one out.

2. Links:
When I try to add lists of url links, a glitch occurs that wants to make the list into a link of the first listed link. I manually removed the incorrect links from each one, saved, previewed, nothing. I did this over and over until I ended up having to remove the entire page because it kept reverting the first line of text or anything I added to the page into a random listed link that I had used on the page.
Also, how do I create a link other than a url with this software?

3. Forms:
I have Web Form Builder but I just couldn't get the code to work at all on SCC software.
Yes I used the html tool here but I only had any luck using this by cutting and pasting code I found off w3schools.com website. Although I could see the form and I thought it would work, I'm not sure the link actually worked since I didn't have anyone to test it for me.

4. Also, any suggestions for creating a good interactive blog with image capability?

I'll take any help and suggestions I can get, I'd like to get my site up as soon as possible!
Thanks so much...

Now, I am not going to say you need an html editor, but you do need to know some html. Not sure how much you do or don't know, but here is what I think based upon your post.

Your link problem sounds like your not closing your links properly, which is why when you are adding text everything is becoming a link.
e.g.

<ul>
<li>Link 1</li>
</ul>

Form builder should work if you insert it into the html option, however, you can't preview it. So if its not showing up that's normal. Upload the cart somewhere and check then, it should show up. I would not cut or paste anything from the internet for web form builder, because its proprietary code. After you have completed the form (and hit save), it gives you the html to put into the html tool.

not sure if this helped. Let us know.

I forgot to address images.

You should be able to insert images through the html tool:
e.g.

<img src="someimage.gif" />

Then, just make sure when you uplodad to your site the image is also uploaded.

Kris, you don't need to purchase HTML Editor but you will need to know some HTML code to enter in SCC.

To insert an image you'll need to enter something similar to the following:


I'm a little bit confused about what you're trying to do in #2 - Links. If you're trying to create a list and each item is a link, then the code will look similar to:


I'm not sure what you mean by "Also, how do I create a link other than a url with this software?"

(Mr. English, you posted before I finished typing my post!)

Apparently, great minds think alike.

Regarding a blog, I'd recommend Wordpress (it's free and pretty simple to understand). If you're wanting to create a photo gallery, consider Coppermine or other free, open source software. To look at available options, go to: http://php.opensourcecms.com/

Indeed.

You can also create links right from the editor toolbar that is pretty easy to do giving you the ability to not just show the URL but to give it a name. You can see that all the things you are trying to do (except the images because I gave up trying to style them) are on my product pages even. The only things here done in the HTML tool are the forums. The link at the top going back to the category is just using the link button on the editor tools at the top of the window where you type.

The form part was already addressed so that's just a matter of putting the code in the HTML tool part of the SCC editor, no code needed there other than the code that the form builder gives you.
