Slide 1
The first step in creating a link is determining the Internet address (destination URL) for the link. For eBay a good place to gather URLs is from your eBay My World page. I've opened a window of my web browser and am keeping that window handy.

Those of you who may not feel confident to install a template yourself, just ask me to do it for you. My help is available to all EAPH.com hosting members - rob@robshelp.com

If you are curious to see the whole sample template at this stage in development you may view it here: GolfBalls 5 - use your web browser's back button to return to this page. This version of the sample template does not yet have functioning links. Additional tutorials will be created using this template to demonstrate various editing capabilities available with the Template Helper. But, you don't need to wait for them! Thorough instructions including Step By Step are included in the Template Helper itself.

Instructions for increasing your web browser screen size

If you are having trouble fitting the tutorial slides along with the captions into your viewing window first try maximizing the window. If that doesn't do the trick try using the "Full Screen" option in your web browser's tool bar under "View".
