I am ready to offer my very first morphed fig to the freebee zone, but need to know how to effectively do so without lots of bad links or missing files. Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial, or give me the steps and the files needed for my contribution to be a success? Thanks loads. Tygercub

  1. pack up your model and all the textures you used. and try to keep the zip/sit as small as possible. 2. in your readme file explain where the files shoudl go, or at least where you kept the files. And include your real email so if there are problems the folks that download your model can ask you what gives and how to fix it. 3. make sure you are not going to make available any textures, props, clothes that are for sale, or against the original owners releases.(VERY VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT) 4. Make a thumnail size image of what you are releasing. 5. upload the file and the thumbnail to your website, or the free site you use. ( you may need to look at the terms of the site or isp you use to determine if direct linking is allowed, some don't allow it) 6. write down the "Exact" URL to both files. 7 in a new browser type the adresses of both (one at a time) to see if they will display to you, and in the case of the zip, download to you, ( yes download your upload to check the tranfer and if all the files are stil good.) 8 If #7 worked, then while at this site in the freestuff section select upload. 9. that page will ask for the title, what it is, and the URLs of the thumbnail AND the zip or sit. 10. type in the exact url that you tested in the correct fields. there will be a preview button, hit it. 11. at the preiview the thumb should display and it should be linked, select it. and download your file yet again. 12. if both the thumbnail and the zip/sit is visable and downloads to your system then hit the upload button. 13. IF one or niether works then hit the back button or the edit button and check your typing and verify it is correct and ten repeat #11 14. if it worked that time , hit the upload button and let the page update, it wil take you to the sub tree of where you slotted the model ( character,clothes, hair, etc.) 15. select the "What's new and on that page load you should see you addition, if you do, you are done and golden and the community will be glad you did.

"Woah!" You mean I can't just press and, POOF, it's done? This may take a while. I don't have a website of my own yet, but that shouldn't take too long to correct. Now all I have to do is learn how to use my Winzip(R) to actually ZIP something instead of just UNzipping... Thanks for the great instructions. Hopefully, I'll have this thing up later this weekend.

How can I don't have a site, and I don't have time to have one?
