If you haven’t read my blog post on how to add the jCarousel of product to your Scentsy website, you should check that one out first. This post is about how to add a information block at the top of your Scentsy website with your picture and information. This post assumes that you are using the jCarousel code as well.

To add the information block at the top of your website, look for the <h2>Scentsy Multipacks </h2> in the original code. Your block of information will need to go directly above that line.

The text-block below is the code for adding your picture to the left with your email address and phone below the picture, and then a block of text to the right. The image I have is 150 pixels wide. If you want a larger image, you will need to adjust the percent of the left column (currently 20%) and the right column (currently 80%) appropriately. The width of the entire box is 845 pixels.

You can add more contact information beneath your phone by adding a <br> tag (which means line break)and then follow it the information you want on that line.

The text-block below is for information, without the left and right columns. You can put this block at the very end of your jCarousel code to add information below your Scentsy products.

If you do use an image, you will need to upload your image to an external website, like Flickr or ImageShack, and then paste in the URL of the image, like this – http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3474/3348684986_0800d20a22_m.jpg

This textbox below is the header block with the full jCarousel so you don’t have to insert the new code into it.

Once you’ve added the jCarousel to your website, check out my follow up block on how to add a header block with your picture, contact details and additional information: http://heather101.com/scentsy/scentsy-website-header-block

jCarousel is an Open Source, jQuery plugin for controlling a list of items in horizontal or vertical order. I have used jCarousel to call a group of images with their accompanying title and price, and then linked each one to the corresponding product. Once I update it my JavaScript file, it will update it on every consultant’s website. So when I add the new Warmer of the Month, your site will update too.

I am happy to share this code with Scentsy Consultants, but ask that they do not remove the comment text that let’s anyone viewing the source code know where to go to get a copy of it. This text will not be visible on your website, but only to those looking to see how it was put together. I am able to see what websites are using the scripts.

I use Safari as my web browser when editing my Scentsy.com website. The reason for this is the TinyMCE editor that is used by Scentsy.com ends up deleting some of my code when I go back into to edit it. If I use Safari, all the code stays. If you don’t use Safari and down want to download it, make sure that you select the “Source” button in the top left before pasting in the code. You will need to save any changes you make to the code in a separate text file, in case you want to edit it later.

So for those who are saying, “Yeah, yeah, I don’t care how you did it. Where’s the code?” Simply click in the textbox below and then copy (CTRL+C) the code. Then go to your Scentsy Consultant Login -> Profile -> Your Website Information -> Personalize.

Now for those of you who don’t want to blindly paste in someone’s code into their website, here is a breakdown of what each section of the code is doing.

</td></tr><tr><td colspan=”2″> </td></tr></table>
The first line of code breaks the Scentsy formatting of the left sidebar with your information. Notice in the image above I have unchecked everything except for “Show Me On Locator.” This means that you will need to add that information yourself.

Throughout the code you will see comment tags that look like this:
<!– Some boring text –>
Those comment tags are only seen by people viewing the source and are there as guides for you on where to put additional information.

<div style=”margin:-230px 0px 0 0px; background: url(‘http://heather101.com/jcarousel/lib/images2/index_r8_c6.jpg’); padding-top: 5px;”>
The above code defines the color of the background, which is the yellow that is used in the footer of all Scentsy consultant websites. The margin:-230px shifts this area up 230px, so it will cover the area that was normally allotted to the sidebar information. If you want to add something before your carousel of products, do it after this line. There is a comment area showing you were to do that. You can remove that comment completely and replace it with what you’d like it to be, which could be your name, email, phone, etc. You could use the TinyMCE editor Scentsy provides to style the text how you’d like it to be, click on Source, and then copy and paste the code over the comment. In a future lesson I’ll show how I made that area into a “Join My Team” box.

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://heather101.com/jcarousel/lib/jquery-1.2.3.pack.js”></script>
The next five lines, similar to the one above, are what call the files from my site to make the jCarousel work, followed by the comment to direct others back to this tutorial.

<h2>Scentsy Multipacks </h2> / <ul id=”mycarousel” class=”jcarousel-skin-tango”></ul>
These double lines are the header and the jCarousel for each section of product. There are four sets total.

<!–If you would like any information to be added AFTER the Carousel’s of product, place that information here.–>
This is a comment to show you were you can put information to be displayed after your four jCarousels. Just erase the comment completely and paste your text in the same spot.

<table><tr><td> </td></tr><tr><td colspan=”2″></span></td></tr&
This last line is what completes the table from above and allows the footer from Scentsy to function properly.

The reason is that your scent glands become saturated with these similar scents and you become desensitized. The Scentsy wax activates certain chemical receptors. After a while your scent receptors become so saturated, that they cannot tell the subtle differences between scents. Your sense of smell will tire out and you stop smelling things after a certain amount of time. Coffee beans will fix that. The coffee beans essentially clear up your scent organs by stimulating other chemical receptors. The result is that you feel freshened up and can differentiate between scents.

A fun idea for this is to create flower pens with a coffee bean center. Here are the supplies you will need

1. Bic Pens (any pen with a cap, not a click pen)
2. Silk Flowers
3. Netting
4. Green Floral Tape
5. Flower Wire
6. Coffee Beans
7. Hot Glue & Gun
8. Scissors
9. Vase

Cut the stems so that each flower has a one to three inch stem.

Pull out the center part of the flower to make room for the coffee beans. Put a few of the coffee beans in a square of netting and then wrap wire around the netting to hold it in place. Keep one end of the wire about 5″ long.

Take the satchel of coffee beans and place in the center of the flower. Feed the remaining wire end that was wrapped around the netting down through the center hole in the flower and wrap it around the stem. Push the stem up into the netting of coffee beans. Use hot glue under the coffee bean satchel and between the flower petal and stem base to make everything extra secure.

Hold the stem flush with the pen. Starting at the top of the pen, wrap the pen with floral tape so that the flower is secure. Pull the floral tape tight as you wrap.

Continue wrapping the pen until covered.

Arrange the flowers in the vase. Keep the pens in a gallon size ziplock back until using at the party. You can also put coffee beans, rice, or any other kind of bean in the vase to hold the pens. Now your clients can smell Scentsy, mark their favorite scents, and take a whiff of the coffee beans when they need to clear their sinuses. Plus you look super clever for putting it all together!
