This thread is going to host a list of Tutorials, some made by myself. Most if not all will either directly or indirectly be listed to aid you with making your Wix profile.

Until I can find/make some tutorials, this thread will remain under construction.

Any and all help with this place is much appreciated.
Please help…


Thank you.

Updates
I've decided I'm going to move Featured Profiles here.

Profile by me
for XxAvatarLastAirbenderxX


Backgrounds for this profile were taken from Deviant art
Music for this profile was taken from YouTube and converted to MP3
Foreground graphics were edited by me using Gimp
Special effects...wix again.


I made this for XxAvatarLastAirbenderxX, I did my best to make it look awesome.
It's obvious what the theme is, it was an awesome show (I still have not yet seen the movie) Each of the four symbols leads to it's own page.
I used music found on the show for the entire profile, and the art is nothing but really good fan art, I looked for the best pictures I could find.
I hope he likes it, as it's not done yet, and it still needs some direction from him.

Any Art tutorials will go here; this will mostly involve indirect influences to wix, such as using Gimp and other outside programs.

Suggestions for this Tutorial area are welcome.

How to add Playlist to Wix.

This was one thing that kept bothering most wix profilers, and the answer was so simple I banged my head when Toxxn found out how and told me.


In order to add a Playlist to your wix, you need to go to wigets and then click the HTML button. A menu will open up, what you want to click is ‘Blank HTML’, after you click this, you’ll get a little blue box in the corner of your wix profile.

The next step is to go to Playlist.com and select the playlist you wish added to your profile. Click ‘Share This Playlist’ located on the left of the black bar just beneath your desired playlist. After you set everything just the way you would like it, click the blue ‘Get Code’ button. Copy the entire embed code and return to your wix profile.

The blue box is telling you to go to “Settings” to embed the code you have just copied. Go down (not up) to the blue screwdriver and wrench icon and click THAT “Settings”. The rest will be explained in the newly opened window.

Credit goes to Toxxn for figuring this out

How to add a Flash file to Wix


Before I tell you how to upload Flash files, let me explain some things first.

Wix is very picky when it comes to flash files, they only allow Action Script 3 (AS3) to be used. Action Script (AS1) and Action Script 2 (AS2) files can be uploaded but when viewed, there will only be a red Error message, though the sound files on them might still play. Also, all AS3s must be equal or less than 5 MegaBytes (MB) or 5120 KiloBytes (KB), otherwise they will not be uploaded at all.

For everyone who douse not have Flash creation programs, then this will be a real chore.
(This will be most if not all of us)

First off
, I have found a small number of problems regarding flash and Wix.
One is there is no way to tell an AS3 apart from an AS1 or an AS2. The only real way to find out is to upload the file to Wix, if you get a red error message, then you’ll know it’s not an AS3.
(If your lucky enough to have the ability to edit Flash Files, you can Convert an AS1 or AS2 to an AS3)
Two would be flash files with audio, I do not recommend them unless they come with their own pause button.
Three would be games. Most games come with their own audio, so again, not recommended. There is also the issue of file size, but I’ll explain that in more detail later. Then there is yet another problem when switching pages back and forth, more details will be explained later.

For better understanding of these problems, please view this file

Second, is how to download flash files onto your computer. It’s nothing like downloading a picture where you just right click and hit ‘save’. There are more steps to that. Thankfully I’ll be able to explain how to download flash files to your computer simply.
(Just not yet as I have yet to finish this tutorial, sorry for the inconvenience)
