General Instructions
Paste your bio HTML code into the big white box as shown. Then click the
'Preview Bio' button to make sure that all of your images load. If you do
not load your images in the preview popup window they will likely get inserted
as thumbnails (tiny images) so please be sure they load in the preview first.
When you are finished loading images in the preview, close the preview window.
Click the update button, and your bio will load into the Bio Editor.

Help - 'I loaded my bio and the images are tiny!'
When you load your bio HTML code the bio editor does not know what size to create your images unless you have specifed your height and width for each image.
However, by loading each image in the Preview Bio window, your images and their dimensions get loaded into memory and recalled when you load your bio HTML.
If you just loaded your existing bio html and your images appear small, try using the 'Load Existing Bio (HTML)' button again.
This time after pasting your bio HTML code into the big white box, be sure to click the 'Preview Bio' button (warning popup blockers must be disabled)
and allow all of your images to finish loading in the preview window. Once they have all loaded close the preview window, and click the 'Update' button
in the 'Load Existing Bio (HTML)' dialog. Your images should now be displayed full size.

Help - 'Why am I getting a warning when I try to load my HTML code?'
The Bio Editor can be picky about the format of your input HTML. If you have written or edited the HTML code yourself, errors may occur when you load your bio. We had to update the Bio Builder on February 17th, 2006 to make the output HTML compatible with the new Bio Editor. If you generated your HTML code with
the STLWed Bio Builder prior to 2-17-2006, you may see errors when you load your
code. If you reload your saved data into the STLWed Bio Builder and regenerate your HTML code (and do not make any edits by hand to the generated code) you should
be able to paste it into the 'Load Existing Bio (HTML)' dialog without errors.
NOTE: Depending on what you've added to your 'Additional Snippets' section of the
Bio Builder, you may still see some strange things in the Bio Editor. If you notice any issues please
contact us.
If you used the Bio Builder after 2-17-2006 but are still seeing this warning,
it is probably because you removed the STLWed Banner ad from the bottom of your
bio (and that is what we use to check the version of the Bio Builder used to
generate your code). Again, reloading your saved data in the Bio Builder
and regenerating your HTML code should fix this issue.
