For those working on the Create-A-Con Set Group Project, the figures are due by August 15 (Sunday) 2010 at 11:59pm EST.

To submit your customs, please read all of the following steps:

- Step 1: Go to: http://www.joecustoms.com/customs/customs_xml_gen.php


- Step 2: Enter all of the data for your custom.

- Note: when entering your image information, just put the file name and extension. Do not put a file path or web address.

- Note: you will need to do one file for each custom.


- Step 3: Once you are finished entering in your data, click "Preview."

- Note: if any required information is missing, it will be flagged. Please go back, add the missing information and click “Preview” again.


- Step 4: Once the "Preview" is okay and nothing is flagged, click the "Generate" button at the bottom of the page.


- Step 5: Once the "Generate" button has been clicked, many browsers will prompt you to save a file. Save the file.

- Note: some browers will not prompt you to save a file. Instead they will display a page of xml code that begins with the line "<?xml version="1.0" ?>". If this appears, in your browser, go to File -> Save As... and save the file with the suggested file name and extension.


- Step 6: Send an email to projects@joecustoms.com In the subject line put “Create-A-Con Set” In the email include the following:

Since Tex has taken over the site's Q&A's we've gotten some actual responses here and there. This was his time for him running it from start to finish and got to say the first response is a pretty good one.
