  <body>On behalf of our customers and publishers, Patternfish is donating 2% of its gross sales (that means 2% of every dollar we took in) from December 2009 to the Canadian Red Cross for Haiti relief.

And since Julia has been falling tragically behind in uploading independent work, Phil has now implemented an "Add New Pattern" feature for publishers so that they can do their own, if so inclined.  We hope to have a guide to this process finished quite soon to clarify the steps.  Remember you cannot make a visible mistake.  Click on "Show" at any time to see how it would look to a customer.  Please take advantage of this if it appeals to you, and don't forget to click on "Submit for Sale" at the top when you're done (or have taken it as far as you can).  That makes your pattern appear bright green in my list of things to post.  I'll look it over, and enable it.  This should be way faster.

Lots of people have asked about how to make a 'data page', with the materials and gauge requirements and whatnot from the pattern on it.  It's simply a matter of making a jpg out of the relevant PDF page(s).  I use &lt;a href="http://www.gimp.org/"&gt;GIMP, which is a free download&lt;/a&gt;.  You drag the PDF on top of its toolbar and drop it and go on from there, uploading that jpg as a photo.  Have fun!</body>
