Visibility allows one to add pages/images to Ladybug without making them immediately visible on a website. If visibility is unchecked, the item will not show up on your website. Once checked, it will.

Visibility is helpful when, for example:

• You are having a timed art sale. You might want to add your images a day before and then set them all as visible at a certain time.
• You want to highlight your new art while still keeping a record of past work.
• You are currently sold out of an item and don’t want it to show up on your site until you are ready to sell again.
• You want to work on a draft of a page before it is live on your website.

1. Log-in and click the pages tab or find your page by clicking on the appropriate page category.
2. Choose the page you would like to edit.
3. Click edit page.
4. Make changes and click save.
5. When you are finished, be sure to click the red link at the top of the page that says: Save Website Changes.

Ladybug uses the easy-to use language called Textile (practice Textile) to format HTML text. Here are a few simple Textile symbols:

_italics_
becomes: italics

*bold*
becomes: bold

# List item 1
# List item 2
# List item 3

becomes:

1. List item 1
2. List item 2
3. List item 3

* Bullet item 1
* Bullet item 2

becomes:

• Bullet item 1
• Bullet item 2

In order to sell items on your website, you’ll need to set-up a PayPal business account. You are, however, able to send money through PayPal without having a PayPal account, which is great news for people who are going to be buying from you!

To open a Business Account:

1. Go to PayPal and click Sign Up.
2. Select the Business Account option and click Continue.
3. Enter your information.

You will also want to add a verified bank account to your account. To Add a Bank Account:

1. Choose My Account → Profile.
2. Under the Financial Information heading, pick Bank Accounts.
3. Type in your account and routing number (you will find this on one of your checks).
4. Click Add Bank Account when you are finished.
5. Once you have added an account, PayPal will make two small deposits to your account. When you receive your bank statement, return to PayPal and confirm your account by typing in the amounts of the two deposits.

If you already have a personal account, you may be wondering why you’d want to change. There are certain limitations to personal accounts. Namely, you cannot receive payments funded by credit cards and you are limited to receiving $1,000 in payments per month.

Here is how you upgrade your existing account:

1. Log into your PayPal Personal account.
2. Choose Upgrade Account.
3. On the Choose a Name to Do Business page, select Business as your account type.

When you are finished, your account will immediately be able to receive payments by credit card.

A note: If you change your mind about upgrading, you are only able to downgrade your account once. If you think you will want to use both a personal and business account, it is best to simply open two separate accounts.

1. Log-in and click on the images tab.
2. Select add new image.
3. Choose a file from your computer (Note: remember to upload a jpeg).
4. Give the file a name a description (These may be optional for your website).

6. If you want the image to show up on the website, check visible. You can upload an image and then turn on the visibility later.

8. Click add image.
9. Add as many images as you want, delete images, change text, etc. When you are finished, be sure to click the red link at the top of the page that says: Save Website Changes.

1. Follow instructions above for adding a sale item.
2. Click on the images tab and find your product.
3. Click on the product’s title.

If you have a Flash website and have never been able to see it (or perhaps you are just having trouble with websites designed in the latest Flash), you probably need to download the latest Flash player.

If you have been able to see Flash websites (or your site is not Flash), but cannot see the most recent changes we've made to your site, you may just need to empty the cache on your computer. Computers often store a certain amount of information about a website you have visited in the past. You may need to empty your cache before being able to see the changes to your website. Various web browsers have various ways of emptying the cache. Instructions for a couple common browsers:

1. Click on Safari → Empty Cache.
2. Or, use this keyboard shortcut: Option + command + e

1. For Mac users, click on Firefox → Preferences. For Windows users, click on Tools → Options.
2. Click on Privacy.
3. Next to Cache, click on Clear.

1. Click on Tools → Internet Options.
2. Under Temporary Internet Files, click Delete Files.
3. Click OK.
4. Click OK again.

In order to see your Ladybug images in the Firefox browser, you may need to change one of the default settings.
