Title: R/F Banner...
Post by: Tammy on January 22, 2009, 03:09:07 AM
I'd love to be able to place a banner advertising this site on my various webpages, but I'm not having any luck finding one. I know that they exist...I've seen a few...just can't remember where, or I'd just steal there code and re-link it.

Help...please.

For myspace,  you do this:

<a href="URL_OF_SITE_HERE"><img src="URL_OF_IMAGE_HERE"></a>

Make sure you put http:// in the url.  not www.

Here's a banner I got by just doing a screen shot of the main page

(http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/Katiebugsey/renaissancefestival.jpg)

you can use that ^ for the "URL OF IMAGE" by plugging in the "direct link" http://s233.photobucket.com/albums/ee199/Katiebugsey/?action=view&current=renaissancefestival-1.jpg

Nice idea Tammy.  I think I might have to get one for my myspace and facebook sites :)

Thanks Bugsey!!

Though, I've seen one...somewhere...that has some of the members avatars that flash or scroll. I'd like that one....

I couldn't get it to work - kept getting "terms of service violation" in the place where I plugged in the link.

probably just missed a piece of the code or something

copy and paste what's below, that should be right

Here's the one I took off the old site:

<a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LlJlbmFpc3NhbmNlRmVzdGl2YWwuY29tLw==">
    <img src="http://www.RenaissanceFestival.com/images/renbanner.gif" border="1" alt="Renaissance Festival" />
</a>

It alternates between the blue Renfest.com script and faire photos of members.

Edit Add:  I knew there was another thread for this.  http://www.renaissancefestival.com/forums/index.php?topic=819.0
Shows the banners and gives directions to use them!
