Banner Sponsors

I love the networking idea as I mentioned on the other post. Now, I thank each and everyone of you wonderful ladies for putting our link on your web sites. I Want To Do The Same for you. I have tried everything. Help PLEASE! What the heck am I doing wrong? I can get you web address up there but not the name (where you click and it goes to the website) Or banners???

Help I feel like a chump because your links are not on our site yet. Bear with me.

Hi Louise,

Let's see if I can get this trick to work   For a text link (in this case to your site), the code would be:

<a href="http://www.bearsbybeesley.com/">Bears by Beesley</a>

after a href= you put the full web site address in between quotes.  Where it says Bears by Beesley you would put whatever text you want to show, here it is the name of the site.

To use a banner (or any image, I don't have my own banner to use as an example so I grabbed one of the thumbnails off my own site) as the link, the code looks like this:

<a href="http://www.cannabearpaint.com/"><img src="http://www.cannabearpaint.com/bears/sleepyhollow_tn.jpg" width="100" height="100" border="0" alt=""></a>

As before, the full web site address goes after a href= and in between the quotes.  The difference here is that instead of text (such as "bears by beesley" in the above example) we are linking to an image.  The best way to do this is to right click on the image and save it to your own computer.  You then need to upload it to your web space (wherever you have your own site data) so that everybody can see it, just like with any image you include on your site.  After img src= in the code you will include the full link to the image's location.  Specifying the exact width and height of the actual image is always helpful to make your page load a little faster.  Here I am also setting the border around the image to 0 so there isn't an additional big black line around it.  The alt= tag would be where you can put some descriptive text which would appear when the mouse is over the image, here I am leaving it blank.

Hope this helps!  (And I hope my examples work the way I want them to!)

Kelly you are an absolute Doll. Now the first part of next week I will give this a try. I will use cut and paste and I am sure it will work. I am going to be a busy girl. Thank You Darlin!
