Can anyone tell me where I find some info about how to add a clickable link to my about me or auction pages so that new people can sign up if not already eBid users?? Thanks.

The link you want can be found on your "my buddy" section, and you add the link using the globe/link icon in the wysiwyg editor.

Yep, banner works a treat

But now my curiosity is killing me ......what are the "jelly rolls" used for?

lol - Well I do know the answer to that one!! Thanks for asking.

Jelly rolls are for those who love patchwork (or quilting as our American chums would call it!). Many designs for patchwork quilts are based on 2.5inch strips which all have to be cut - so a few years ago one enterprising manufacturer (moda) started selling one 2.5 inch strip of each of the fabrics from their latest range ready cut and rolled into a "jelly roll" -usually about 40 strips. This means you can get to the sewing much faster and it is a relatively inexpensive way to have a lovely set of co-ordinating fabrics for a multi coloured quilt. One roll can be enough for a quilt depending on the design.

They really are "all the rage" in the patchwork community; other manufacturers have followed suit and designers are now producing masses of patterns using them. Other shapes are now being sold in pre-cut bundles too - 1.5 inch strips (a honey bun) 10inch squares (layer cakes), triangles (turnovers). They would probably sell even better on ebid if they could bring out something that related to chocolate rather than cakes!!

When "stampsulove" has his "craftsonebid" site up and running I will be putting pictures of some of my own humble efforts using jelly rolls in the gallery there!

You have made me think that maybe I should put a more detailed explanation on the listings .... Thanks.
