Update 5/31: Fixed the links sidebar! Now you can permanently add your link to the code on the right. Choose the correct directory and add your link to the list. Props to my nerd friends for helping me with the code! It's DIY code, man.

With this dynamic window shopping image, you can create a cute ad for your current shop items that is very alluring for visitors to click on.

Example:

• Just copy the HTML code , and be sure to insert your shop name or image, address and 6 images in the proper places. If you know how to copy & paste image and site links, this shouldn't be too difficult.
• You can also insert your own 143 x 48 shop logo at the top. Larger logos will be re-sized automatically to fit.
• Do not worry about resizing item photos. Just get the address of your images and insert them in the correct places. This code will re-size the images to fit.
• If you have any issues, please comment on this post and I will try to help!

I hope this image brings lots of potential buyers to your shop!

Empty Shop Example:

How is shopping ever more fun than this? Pirate Pixie Crew is #52 on our list this week: "Ahoy, me hearties! Welcome to my Pirate Pixie Crew Shop. I'm Captain Skulduggery Dug and in my shop ye can find fabulous buccaneering goodies and treasures to enhance your life. Hats, scarves, bags, blankets and bunting all lovingly hand crafted to enhance yea lives. Read my profile to find out how I came to have a crew of Pirate Pixies. Come join my crew of Pirate Pixies and enjoy the adventure!" Not only do you get to feel the sea air flowing through your locks with that enthusiastic introduction, you will also be feasting you eyes on sweet felts and knits. I feel sorta like I'm watching Labyrinth when I peruse this shop. Anyone else? Would you like to get your shop or blog featured? Just enter your link on the right each week. The list is refreshed each Monday to give everyone a chance to post, and for you to post a new link to fresh blog posts or shop items. I'll pick a random DIY Monday participant each week to be featured.

I made some free shop graphics for your blog posts. Just copy & paste the HTML into your blog posts, and be sure to insert the address of your shop. You can also right click to save the graphic. Please link to http://diy-monday.blogspot.com somewhere on your site if you would like to use these shop graphics at the bottom of your blog posts.

Each week, I'm going to select a DIY Monday player who has entered there on the right to feature in the blog. This week's blogger is Life, Love, Yarn!, #60 to promote on this week's DIY Monday. Okay, so you might already know Jessica's blog. She has a giveaway once a week, features Etsy shops and artists, and just plain projects a love of craft onto everyone that comes by the blog. If you aren't hip to Life, Love Yarn! yet, then it's time to get with the program. Check out her latest giveaway, this stunning painting by Tye J. Schloer:

Add your blog to the DIY Monday list to the right if you would like a chance to get featured. I also feature blogs from this list on the About.com DIY Fashion site.

Spring means warmer weather and hotter fashions. To get the new look, you don't have to buy the new clothes. Here is a run-down of the spring 2009 looks, and you can make them yourself with free projects and patterns. Here are 8 Projects that you can do in minutes and flaunt all Spring.
