You all have probably wondered at some point how I do all this formatted text. Well, it actually has to do with HTML code, but the more basic (usually) elements. Here is how you do each (replace all "*" with "" (nothing)).

Adoptables, I sold one, now what? by Karijn-s-Basement, journal
Adoptables, I sold one, now what?
So you started doing adoptables, made or used a nice lineart, put some pretty colours on it and someone liked it enough to shove money or points in your face and demand it for themselves. Awesome, you just sold your first adoptable and I can tell you that the main part (making one and finding a buyer) is done.
Since selling adoptables is not easy, many people concentrate only on the first part of it, which is made up of designing and advertising the adoptable. And then suddenly a buyer appears and pays.
I just sold my first adoptable. Now what do I do?
Well, the first thing to do is 'close' the adoptable. You do it by changing the adoptabl

Adoptables, Writing an Artist's Description
A Good Description
Concerning adoption, a good description is always needed. It informs the purchaser about everything they need to know about the character and the adoption itself.
Basics of a Good Description:
:bulletblue: Use proper grammar
A lot of deviants are *not* native english speakers and all the english they know is what they have been taught in school so try to use proper grammar. Talking and writing are not the same thing, 'your' and 'you're' do not mean the same thing and should *not* be written in the same way. Some mistakes or 'typos' can always happen, but as long as most of your writing is correct, the odd mistake is for
Adoptables, Auctions by Karijn-s-Basement, journal
Adoptables, Auctions
What is an Adoptable Auction?
An Adoptable Auction it's like a normal auction, with an adoptable on the plate and the highest point/money offer wins. These are not 'first come, first serve' adoptables.
Is it the same thing as a Name-Your-Price Adoptable?
Both can cause a bidding war, but no, they're not the same thing. Auctions are more organized and have more terms to them that the NYP Adopts. NYP Adopts usually have a price range and not a starting bid, they don't have an autobuy, nor a minimum bid raise and end when the Adoptable Creator feels like it.
Terminology
Bid = Money/Point Offer
Starting Bid/Base Bid (SB) = The first and low

Artist Alley Making Stickers Tutorial
Hey all you guys and gals! Looking into getting a table at a convention's artist alley, but not sure what to have for sale? It can be quite daunting for beginners to know exactly what to have at their convention table.

Using HTML on deviantART
Hello!
Hello and welcome to my little html tutorial. I've been working with html codes for a couple of years and I'm going to teach you what I know about using some basic html on deviantART. This won't make you a html expert or something and I'm not an expert myself but it will give just enough knowledge to make your journals, comments, news articles and other neat and lovely looking. :)
deviantART actually has FAQs about html but I still wanted to do this because they look a bit unorganized, in my opinion. Also, why would you want to look for those FAQs when you can just open this news article where you have everything in one place? :dummy
deviantART was on TV + join the art challenge! by Heidi, journal
deviantART was on TV + join the art challenge!
A long time ago (about 24 hours), in a galaxy far, far away (down the road in Hollywood), comedian and television host Chris Hardwick introduced a segment on his late-night Comedy Central show — aptly titled midnight (https://www.deviantart.com/midnight) (get it?) — that got many of us at deviantART all aflutter.
First of all, if you love the Internets and you haven't seen midnight (https://www.deviantart.com/midnight) yet, you're missing out on some serious lulz. A few nights a week, Hardwick invites some comedian pals on the show for some Geek-Centric Improv Comedy. Sort of like a British Quiz Show brought to you by Reddit. Or "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" with slightly less dancing, but an equal amount
