to start off with I have qualified, just barely....

I can not figure out how to set up my outlet on my website, which is one of the big reasons I got the website. Also I see that some have recipes and such and I am clueless how to get them posted...I think I am suffering from major prego brain I am normaly pretty good with these things but I am so lost right now
 
The outlet is already going to be on there and there isn't anything for you to "set up". It will be under Order Products, then option #2, and then at the bottom of the list of categories, you'll see outlet. If you just qualified, it may take a few days for it to show up?? Not sure about that. As for posting recipes, etc. you go into the area for news and you can select their options or create new and do your own. Once you are in there, you can just type like normal. Personally, I prefer to type it up in Word and then copy and paste it over onto my site because it's easier to see and edit to me. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I just got the website last night so i will give it a few days!
 
For some reason the Outlet only appears on the Order Products box on the bottom left of the screen. If you click on the word Products on the top it won't show the outlet. I haven't figured why on that one yet.
 
It is there purposely to get people into the buying portion of your website. The outlet is for hardcore PC customers who HO figures are going to buy.
