Hi Danno, I got the html saved.. I pasted and copied it just like you said.It workded great. Now.. I know you said do the same protocol to get it on the practice writer. How ?? Which place do I start.Judy
Hi Judy,
After you've done the Save at practicewriter, the page produced will have a "The View Link is:" followed by a link in blue at page bottom. Place mouse on the link and with right mouse click do a Copy Shortcut. In the Forum on a reply, do a right mouse click and paste to put the link into a reply message.

Hi Jack,
Yes, the table needs same fonts applied. The word description outside the template isn't appearing in the practicewriter page?

Good Morning Dano,
I finally got it posted.Hope this helps you.I am totally sick of it,ha
I looked at it, and it didnt show any pictures on this.But on the preview, the screen is so big you have to look at it from left to right to see a little bit of the template, and the pictures are big. and running together,The pictures are not individual and up and down ,like they are on the regular auctivia listing page. thankyou for your time and help.Much appreciated. Judy

Hi Judy,
I just took a quick look and see you're using the "original" image tags (that's what the ORG means). Is it the images that are giving you the problem? If so, one possibility is to change the [DESCRIPTION] tag to [DESCRIPTION_AND_IMAGES] and remove all those image tags. That gives you the same look and flexibility for arrangement and method (like paired, thumbs, slideshow) as Auctiva's stock templates. If there is a specific LOOK you want to the images, can you describe what you want?
I also see you need title tag added. Just remove that title text and replace with [TITLE], and that will cause the auction title you create in the one-page lister to automatically insert at that location.

Thanks Dano.
I will go and try that..
Yes, the pictues is awful.When you pull up the preview, the pictures are going sideways,and almost on top fo each other.
When you pulled it up, was the screen hugh?/I mean my hugh screen only showed about a few words, I had to move the scroll bar over and over to get a sentence??
Thanks,Judy

Hi Judy,
I know exactly what each tag does and can "imagine" what the result will be from use. The IMAGEx_ORG tags literally insert the full-size original image you upload, so a "parade" of possibly 1024x768 pictures comes immediately to mind. If that's the issue and you like Auctiva's more "Standard" images with supersize, etc., that simple replacement I suggested should do the job. With that universal tag, you get the flexibility of placement of the images and the method as selections in the one-page lister when you select your Custom template (it's on that pop-up screen at left).

I removed the[DESCRIPTIONS] and changed it to[DESCRIPTIONS_AND_IMAGES]. I removed all the image tags..
Now, when I try to save it,it keeps telling me ,I cant have both, to choose one or the other??
also, once I get this done,how and where do I get my pictures on there? You ask, how I want the pictures to look, Not really particular..just so you can see them. and they are not running together,ha.
I also took the title out and put just the words,[TITLE].
Thanks,Judy

Well Danno I think I got it and it is all because of your input, setting me straight. Other then a few word changes and some tweaking all is good with my templates. I do want to add a "check my other auctions" picture button after the "contact me click here". Any quick insight on that would be helpful not to mention the time it would save me if at least I am pointed in the right direction. Thanks again for all of your help would not of gotten done without you. When I post an auction I'll send you the site so you can have a look see. JACK 
Judy,
The practicewriter shows both a [DESCRIPTION] and [DESCRIPTION_AND_IMAGES] tag present in the code (but not on the visual). Also, the later is actually inside a comment field, so it actually won't work correctly. Comments start with <!-- and end with -->. I'd remove the later and change the former to the D&I tag.
I also see an extra [IMAGE1] tag in a comment field. That's why a visual check doesn't show them. It looks like template maker comments to fill-in info is were some of the problems are occurring.

Morning Jack,
The typical way to had a clickable linked picture is with an anchor tag as follows:
<a href="URL link for check other auctions page"><img alt="" src="url for image button" /></a>
The href is the "http://....." link to your eBay listings page.
The W3schools has some more examples here:

Hi Dano,
I redid the template.. would you check to see if this is correct.I couldnt find where the [DESCRIPTION AND IMAGES] were in there twice..oooh.. anyway, I just redid it.. Hopefully this is better.. Kinda getting an understanding ,I think..
Once this is correct. If i am understanding correctly. I will just add my template to my listing under custom..and then when it gets to the picture section on the regular auctivia listing sheet, i will just go to my pictures,choose them, and hit done. is that correct? or do I have to insert them ,some how, on this custom template html??
sorry to be so dumb. thankyou so much for your continued help. Judy

Hi Judy,
I can tell you're getting frustrated, so I took a wack at figuring out the designer's ideas and their instructions for a pass.
I'm not sure on text color, sizes, and exact placements, but I hope the tags are where they need to be. Give this a try....
http://practicewriter.com/?62B8E
You can copy and paste code by those instruction I gave, but delete all the HTML code at Auctiva before you do the paste (or it just adds to what's already there).
