Q: RSS Feed Link
What is the new Feed link that appeared on my site?
A: Here is some information about the new RSS Feed link from Clint's newsletter:
If you don't know what an RSS feed is, don't worry - we'll enlighten you in an upcoming newsletter. Let's just say they are like channels that visitors can subscribe to and that they are about to explode into common usage. We have integrated an RSS Feed into the Blog mentioned above. For those of you who don't want to blog (and even for those who do), we have added a built-in RSS Feed to every single FASO account. If you go to your "Works" page on your web site, you will notice a new little orange icon with the word "Feed" next to it. (It is not visible if you've chosen to hide the artworks subheader) This allows site visitors who use RSS to with a few clicks "subscribe" to your works portfolio. Why would someone do that? Because it will allow the visitor to monitor when you post new artwork without having to manually check your site every day. Communicate with your clients and friends and encourage them to subscribe to your RSS feed (and be sure to post new artwork often).
If you want to hide the subheaders (ie the line that reads 'All • Originals • Limited Editions • Open Editions • Feed') you can do so by following these instructions:
1. Login to your control panel.
2. Click on MY ARTWORK PORTFOLIO
3. Click on 'Edit the works display'
4. Next to 'Hide Subheader in Portfolio' click 'Yes'
5. Click Save Changes

A: 1. Log in to your control panel

3. Click 'Edit' to the right of the artwork that you wish to indicate as SOLD
4. Look for the AVAILABILITY text option.
5. Drop down the menu and click on 'Sold'
6. Click 'Submit' to save changes
Q: Can I Make the Thumbnail Zoom Skip Right to the Largest View?
If possible I`d like the thumbnail zoom feature on my site to be reconfigured so that one click takes viewer to largest view of a painting instead of having to first go to an intermediate image size?
A: 1. Log in to your control panel
2. Click on MY ARTWORK PORTFOLIO
3. Click on Edit The Works Display
4. Change Default Works Zoom Level from Default to Large
5. Click Save Changes
NOTE: This feature will cause problems in the Autumn templates. Leave Autumn templates set to Default.
Q: Can I hide the "Sold" tags in the thumbnail view?
Can I hide the "Sold" tags in the thumbnail view?
A: Yes!
1. Log in to the control panel
2. Click on "My Artwork Portfolio"
3. Click on "Edit the works display"
4. Click Yes next to "Hide Sold Tags in Portfolio"
5. Click Update
Q: Can I Hide Images From the Public?
Can I Hide Images From the Public?
A: When you upload images used in the WORKS category, you can set the status to "Archive", which will make them not appear on your main portfolio page. Those works ARE still online though and people may find them in various ways.
At this time there is no way to completely "Hide" an artwork after it has been entered in your control panel. The only way to ensure that is to not add an artwork until you are ready for the public to see it.
Q: Why do I have little red dots on my thumbnails?
Why do I have little red dots on my thumbnails?
A: The little red dots appear on thumbnails on paintings that have been marked with an availability of 'Sold'.
You can turn them off by choosing 'YES' for 'Hide Red Dots in Portfolio' in your Works Display settings (click on MY ARTWORK PORTFOLIO, then click on 'Edit the works display').
You also have the option of choosing to hide or show the SOLD tag in the thumbnail view by selecting 'YES' or 'NO' in the 'Hide Sold Tags In Portfolio' option.
Some templates, specifically the Autumn templates, ONLY show the red dots to indicate that a piece is sold.
NOTE: The red dots ONLY appear if you have enlarged your thumbnail image size. Please see this link on how to enlarge your thumbnails:

FYI - Paintings always have the availability status on detail pages, everything in this discussion pertains only to thumbnail portfolio pages.
==========================
Red dots will show on larger views of images (detail view and zoom view) only for clients that have attached their Paypal account to their website. The red dot is in place of the Buy Now button.
Q: Can I control the order my works are displayed?
Can I control the order my works are displayed?
A: You can control the order your works are displayed either by:
1. numerical sequence you assign
2: alphabetically by title
3. the order in which you add the pieces, most recent first.
To select one, enter your control panel and click on “My Artwork Portfolio”.
Click on the link to “Edit the works display”.
This will take you to a window with three drop down menu options. Leave Default Portfolio Page set to default (unless you have Collections set up). Choose the setting for the Default Works Display order to either Display Sequence Number, Alphabetical or Most Recent First.
Hit Save Changes.
If you select Display Sequence Number you will then need to go to the link that says "Reorder Works" in "My Artwork Portfolio" and use the up and down arrow to reorder the artworks.
------------
If you have reordered work in an individual collection and the work does not appear correctly when scrolling through the collection, you need to make sure that at least ONE collection is ordered properly in the 'BIG' list (in the screen for "Change your artwork display order").
In MY ARTWORK PORTFOLIO
click on "Edit the works display".
Default Works Display order should be set to Display Sequence Number.
Then go to the link that says "Change your artwork display order" in "My Artwork Portfolio". Use the up and down arrow to reorder the artworks so that the work in one collection is set up in order and together in this list.
Q: Can I eliminate the sub headings on my artwork portfolio?
How can I eliminate the sub headings on my artwork portfolio? (ie the line that reads 'All • Originals • Limited Editions • Open Editions')
A: 1. Login to your control panel.
2. Click on MY ARTWORK PORTFOLIO
3. Click on 'Edit the works display'
4. Next to 'Hide Subheader in Portfolio' click 'Yes'
5. Click Save Changes
