To maximize your awesome skills, fill out all the cycle-bits before copying.

Have a cycle? Rather than make the same cards over and over, make one card and then copy+paste it four/nine times! Your work is art too! Make sure that people know who made it! This is great for building followers too, since sometimes custom cards go viral and you want to make sure they know who the designer is. You can also edit any individual copyrights at will, but you can’t make batch changes, even if you change the copyright. It’s a lot easier than doing it individually!

This will automatically put your name into every card you make. It’s in the “Set Info” tab at the top of your screen. It converts it from the short dash to the long dash used for quoting and card modes (but we’ll get to that later).īe sure to put your name/url/username/whatever in the “Copyright” section before you start making cards. Also be sure to type the dash twice (no spaces!). Have the attributed person’s name go on a line directly beneath the quotes. To do this, hit Shift+Enter instead of simply hitting Enter to go to the attribution line. Make sure you save space and template properly! Otherwise they won’t be so badass.

You’ve got some kickass flavor text attributed to some super badass in your story. I wanted to share some tips for those who use MSE, since this reduces the hassle of design, improves the quality of the work, and thus increases the other part of designing - the fun!
