A vendor URL is different from an image URL, it should end in '.com', '.net', '.org', '.htm', '.html', etc, instead of '.gif', '.jpg', '.jpeg', or '.bmp' To find the URL for your vendors website, look in the address bar at the top of your internet browser when you are on the vendor's webpage. To include the vendor's website in your bio, select the URL from the address bar as shown below, and then copy the selected text. To Copy the text you can right click on the selected text and choose 'Copy' from the popup menu or press 'Ctrl' + 'C' on your keyboard.
For example the URL for STLWed.com is http://www.stlwed.com/ as shown below:
Now Paste the URL into the Bio Builder as shown. To Paste the URL click in the box shown below and press 'Ctrl' + 'V' on your keyboard, or right click in the box and select 'Paste' from the popup menu. If you want to double check the URL click the 'Verify URL' button to make sure you got it right.

WARNING - We now discourage adding shoutboxes to your bio. They load a popup window which is annoying enough, but we recently found that the popup window was downloading unwanted spy-ware onto the viewer's computer. Please remove any shoutboxes from your bio for the safety of yourself and others.
A Shoutbox is a box where people can post messages in your bio.
Here's a sample Shoutbox
If you want to add a shoutbox, you must first create a free account with www.creationcenter.com and then it should take you to an account manager page like the one shown below. Click on 'ShoutBox/Tag Board' HTML Code to view your personalized Shoutbox Code.
Your shoutbox code will look something like this:
Copy the code from the box and paste it into the 'Addtional HTML Snippets' section of your bio builder as shown below:
Now the next time you generate your bio code and preview your bio, you should see your shoutbox.
Caution, the shoutbox uses iframes, which may not display properly in the preview, but should look fine in your actual bio. The Shoutbox preview will look ok as long as you are using the preview in the pop-up window. Disable your popup blocker before clicking the preview button, and you should be ok.

Scroll up or down in the bio builder until you find the section titled 'Additional HTML Snippets' shown here:
If you create a web feature such as a weather predictor, visitor counter, etc. on some other website, this is where you should paste the code for your new feature. For example if you wanted to add the weather predictor tool shown here all you need to do is copy the code shown at the top of the weather tool page and paste it into the 'Additional HTML Snippets' box, then re-generate your code and preview your bio. Notice that you now have the weather predictor at the bottom of your bio (depending on your javascript settings the tool may not be fully functional in the preview, but it should work when pasted into your bio). You can place all sorts of fun html and javascript code in this box, and the best part is that when you save your bio builder data, these extra snippets of code will get saved too so you don't have to re-type them the next time you edit your bio.
