Your basic membership listing has already been created for you. In order to access it after you log in, click on "content" In the top left navigation. Next click on "edit" and then the title of the listing you wish to update.
Step 1: Please note that the name of the Artist/Artisan/Band or Business that you provided in earlier correspondence was used as the default title of your listing.
The “Title” field can be changed if needed. If you make a change, just make sure that the “URL Title” field matches the “Title” field before you save.

The following steps are how you add an image to any section. Select the image icon below and to the right of the field you are working on.

This is also optional and we recommend that you fill this with keywords to help search engines
find this image.
Repeat for each image you are uploading.
