Why would my design not be included?

1. A design is not included if it does not fit into the topics for this site. Even wonderful designs.

2. A design is not included if it does not meet the criteria for this site. Even wonderful art.

3. If I didn't find the design, I can't include it. That happens for a lot of reasons. Make sure that you have words in your product descriptions and store or section description that will be found using the keyword search. Make sure your images are tagged and that those tags are obvious. Give your products useful names. If you submitted a design to be included did you provide the tags used for the image so I can find it in the marketplace?

4. I might skip a design if it is only on a few products. I don't want to frustrate my visitors by showing them a really great design but the only thing it is available on is a baby bib. If you have a basic shop, open a new shop for each design. Don't slap the design on literally everything, but do put the design on anything that it fits well on.

5. Give it two weeks before getting anxious. I like to get away from the computer, and sometimes other obligations mean something is going to give.

6. I ethicially or philosophically disagree with the design. I can be pretty wishy-washy on this one. It depends on how strongly I feel, and how the particular design makes me feel.

7. I just don't like you. Well it would be pretty darned hard for me to form an opinion of most people. But if you happened to be one of those folks who decided to publish my work without my permisssion, then yes, you are on my list to never include here.

8. You didn't submit the design. (Keep in mind the other above points before submitting).
