1. SO YOU ARE A SHOPKEEPER?
AWESOME!
Here’s a quick tutorial on some basic things
that you will need to know to run your shop.

2. So, this is how it
will usually look
when you enter the
Emporium.
Characters who
have MOD over
an area are listed
under the shop.

3. This is how your
shop will look to
other people.
Things you should
have...
RP Topics Product for Announcements
(labeled) customers

4. Announcements
Good for...
- Letting customers know
if you are going to be
gone for an extended
period of time.
- Any changes to the shop
(new inventory, for
example).
Not for...
- RPing
- Posting information not
related to your shop.

5. It’s good to
have variety
when it comes
to product.
Breaking them
up so it’s
easier to
locate is great
too!
We will cover some beginner bbcode to help
you make your shop organized at the end.

6. If your picture is too
large to view, use it as
a link.
Images that are small
enough are great! They
help the customer
visualize what they’re
buying.
You can use sites like
photobucket.com or tinypic.com to
store your images.

7. At the end of
your lists, you
should have a
code that the
customer can
fill out. This
will come in
handy when
you are
depositing the
items in their
vault!

8. Their post will look like this with the code. Make
sure to give some indication that you have
deposited the item in their vault. Here, I have
put a check mark and a simple message.
You can then DELETE the post after a few days.

9. Now, let’s learn about/review...
MOD Controls and Organization

10. This is what
your MOD
control panel
will look like.
All threads
you are able to
MOD over are
listed here.
This is also a great way to do a lot of actions at
once. Say that you are under construction, or
want to pin multiple topics at once. Here is the
place to do that. Just check the boxes and click
your desired action.

11. At the bottom of
each thread that
you have MOD
over, you will also
have individual
controls for that
thread.
Clicking the drop down menu
will give you these options...

12. If you click on
the edit
button in the
first post in a
topic, you can
edit the topic
title and
description.

13. Here is some helpful coding you can put in to
your posts to help you organize. Remember, it’s
there to help, not hinder, so don’t go
overboard!
You can find more online if you search BBcode.
Once you understand it, you can start mixing
them together.
