Welcome to Gaia! ::

To start off, you can make your Wix from whatever template you want or choose to make one from scratch by using the blank one.
Make sure you save it regularly, that way if something were to happen you would not have to redo the entire profile!
When you are done, save the final copy, and click the "Publish" button.

Now click the " Embed" button on the bottom and click copy.

This is where Horntastic's Converter comes in handy.
If you would like to save some time, you can use Horntastic's Converter to convert your embed code by clicking here. [x]

If you chose to use Horntastic's Converter, then please skip this next part.
If you chose to not to use Horntastic's Converter, then please continue.


Paste the code into a new text document so you can get a good look at the embed code.
There are two parts to the embed code necessary to use your Wix.

One is the .SWF which I have provided for you below so that you do not have to lurk around the embed code to find it.

Shockwave File link:


For the second part, you will want to locate the "flashvars" within your embed code. There are 2 but they are the same.
It starts with "pageid" and ends with "-a"
An example of how to find your flashvars is highlighted in Green below.

&object width="900" height="650" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" classid="clsid D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,28,0" & pageId=33TgT_n;VOg-a&embedFormat=normal&embedID=DLTqzEXo4DAT0rvhqbHpNhyhi9e2GxJxn4DwHzTkvwyUu_gd4Jmh8qtt5gm7ZM20a&partner_id=WMGs4POB1ko-a" />



Whether you used Horntastic's converter or hand converted your embed code, the next step is to add it to your media.
Media is found on current v2 profiles.
If you do not have one on your profile, click edit profile > content > add media.

Here is a picture of where to put the converted code:

Below are commonly asked questions of the Wix user community with answers and solutions for your convenience.
If a question you have is not listed below, them please feel free to PM me and I will be glad to help you.


Q: I am having trouble converting the embed code, will you help?
A: Yes, I would be glad to help. Due to my inbox being overloaded I no longer accept PM's.
However, head on over to the Official Wix Profile Guild and I or someone there will help you convert it.

Q: Will you make me a WIX profile?
A: No, I simply do not have the time.
However we do have contests occasionally to win one made by me or other professionals in the Official Wix Profile Guild.

Q: Can you give me ideas for my WIX?
A: Ideas for anything really come from your mind. What inspires you?

Q: I am having problems setting everything up, will you help me?
A: It depends what you mean by "everything". The most I can do is help convert your code and walk you through step by step on what to do.

Q: Will you create any art for me to use in my WIX?
A: No, I do not have the time.

Q: There are large areas of white around my profile, what do I do?
A: This a common problem before I completely redone the Guide, however you should not have this problem i you followed my guide.

Q: How do I add a button to link to PM, journal, trade, etc.?
A: On the wix editor goto page parts, then to buttons.
Set up the button to your liking and then link it to its destination via URL.

Q: My links will not work with my buttons, when I click, nothing happens. Why?
A: Check to see if you added a url to it.

Q: Can I add music to my playlist from Youtube?
A: No, because Wix only accepts .MP3 files. However me and my staff are coding different things and finding what works and what does not through trial and error. Coding for a way to use sound from Youtube is something we are working on.

Q: Can I add songs from my playlist at playlist.com to my Wix?
A: Yes and No. No you cannot add the songs directly to a Wix playlist, however I recently figured out how to add your playlist from playlist.com to your Wix.
A tutorial will be up in the Official Wix Profile Guild soon.
