I know we still have some work to do making this simpler, so I'm very happy to help.
Custom finds are for items that you can't find online. For items you CAN find online you can just use the bookmarklet. So there are three ways to collect an item:
- click the heart on an item someone else collected online
- use the bookmarklet to collect the item from a retailer website
- create a custom find for items you can't find online
To use the bookmarklet, first go to
this page and follow the instructions under "COLLECT ITEMS FROM ONLINE STORES" about dragging the bookmarklet into your browser's bookmarks bar (or favorites if you are using Internet Explorer).
Then when you are on a retailer's product page, you click the bookmarklet and a little window will appear that will allow you to add it to your collection.
I know this is complicated, and it is difficult to explain in words, so please ask me questions if anything needs clarifying.
