Free V6 Help
^Ikue
reports, July 11
reports, July 11Okay so if you haven't noticed V6 was launched late last night/early morning (depending on your time zone) to mixed reviews.
We as admins have had a little more time with it than the rest of the masses and as such I thought I would volunteer my knowledge with whomever is interested. Rather than complain that everything is different perhaps I can help show you how much more user friendly and easier the site is to navigate.
So... if you have a question concerning V6 please ask it. If you know of someone who is having troubles, please link them here. I will be updating this journal with your questions and hopefully answers to said questions.

This week I would like to take the opportunity to discuss stamps. Quite often stamps are mistaken as an actual dA feature but actually they are exactly like any other image or thumbcode. These stamps can be placed in journals and shoutboard.
So how do you place stamps into your journals and shoutboard? There are two ways to put stamps into these areas. If the stamp is a deviation you can easily use the thumbnail code and place it into the text area of your journal or shoutboard. If it is an outside source you can use an image code.
Where can I find more stamps? You can find more stamps by browsing deviantART Related > Deviant Stamps.
** Please note to post thumbnails in your journal or shoutboard you must be a subscriber.

Hey, Jenn! How do I link images from deviantART to my website?
This is a simple process, young deviant! We don't allow direct hotlinking to the images from our server, such as using the HTML image tags to swipe the source file. So, we have two separate systems which allow the controlled display of deviantART submissions on third party websites (like your MySpace page or blog).
The first system is the Embed function, which allows you to display one big thumbnail of one of your, or another user's, pieces. The embed code can be found on the individual deviation pages under the information just to the right of the description. This function can be allowed or disallowed by the owner of the deviation so not all deviations will have this option enabled.
The second system is the Pasties function, which allows you to featured multiple deviations on your web page, blog or wherever you'd like. Some examples being daily top favorites from a particular category for the day, your own recent submissions or favorites. A whole range of other options for Pasties is available.
You can see the full list of available Pastie types on your Settings page. Please be aware that many of the options will only be available to you if you're a Subscriber.

Deviousness
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment.
She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More |

Spreading them is un-original and sheepish. If you agree, copy this in your... wait, no!
No to signature clichés! You are on an art site, be creative!
