WAHMshoppes help!!! with drop down menus

[Angelsx3]

please? I would like a drop down box with all of the available colors to choose from. I cannot figure it out. Someone please help.

for example MIRANDA has one on her build a bow as an option.

What mode are you in?

[Angelsx3]

Mode 4 I think?

[j2garnett]

OK, hopefully this makes sense

In your store, go to "configuration." There should be a box that says "master store mode" in the main part of the page. Inside that box, in the right-hand column, there is a link that says "reusable dropdowns." Click that and then click "add new."

A page will come up that says
Option Description Price Add Weight Add Sort Order

Type the first color you want to list in the option description. Leave the next two blank (unless you want to charge more for a certain color), and then if you want the colors to appear in an order other than alphabetical, put the number you want that color to be in the list in sort order (you can do alphabetical sort later).

The click create new dropdown. You will see the item you entered as the first item in the list, and the options you filled in above will be blank again. Then you just add the next one, and click "add option," until you have them all added.

Then, when you go to add or edit a product, there is a section that says
Drop Down List Box Title Select Drop Down List Box

Type something like "choose ribbon color" in the title part, and then in the select part, you will see the drop down you just made as an option, and you select it.

This will let you reuse that dropdown in any item in your store.

HTH!

what are the meta keywords?
how do I edit the categories in the my info section? I want to add a "shipping" category but it's not listed?
What do I have to do to get photos on the front page?

I still need help with the splash page.....
I'm using the html editor from here Free Online HTML Editor - WYSIWYG Editor IE

I want to use a photobucket slideshow and do a welcome greeting. Why is this so difficult....lol I don't know what buttons to use to enter the slideshow.

[Angelsx3]

In the box on the splash page I enter the html code from the slideshow and hit save. When I view the site there isn't anything there. I simply typed welcome and nothing showed up either.
