Dollmaker


This is a quick tutorial for people wanting to add a dollmaker to their site. But..be warned...it takes a LOT of work to make one decent sized decent looking dollmaker :)

1. Collect props for making dolls (shoes, heads, tops etc.) from the Palace and other doll sites. Remember to check whether props are copyrighted or not! If you don't know, e-mail the site owner and ask if you can take some props. You need to collect round about 200-400 different items to make a good-sized dollmaker. Or you can make a small one and add to it :)
2. Create any images you want to use for titles etc., or skip this step if you like.
3. Make your props transparent if you haven't done so already (I have quite a few tutorials on this).
4. Get a decent table code (from my 'Cartoon Dolls' section or Lisaa Explains It All) and edit it so you can put different props in different boxes. So shoes will go in one box, accessories in another, pants in another etc.
5. Upload allll your images (yes, this will take ages) and then use this code to add them in your dollmaker (change your-prop.gif to the actual name of your image):



6. You need to repeat this for every single prop you have. Then go to Dynamic Drive, and search using the phrase 'drag and drop' to get the code to make your props draggable.
7. Add this code into your dollmaker page.
8. View your dollmaker and fix any broken images and arrange props so they look nice :D
