Other Links
Occasionally you may need to add links to other parts of your template, or splash page. For instance, if you have signed up for a topsite, you will be given a code to add to your site. Most of the time, just pasting it in will do the job.
But let's say you want to add the banner to your Links Pages or Links Directory. In these cases, you may need to take apart the code and then copy and paste the 'pieces' in the appropriate areas. Here is a sample code that we will take apart:
<a href="http://samplesite.gotop100.com/in.php?ref=XXX" target="_blank">
<img src="http://samplesite.gotop100.com/lists/samplesite/custombanners/33027.gif" border="0" width="468" height="60"> </a>
If we break it apart a little, it is easier to see the different parts:
1. <a href="http://samplesite.gotop100.com/in.php?ref=XXX" target="_blank">
2. <img src="http://samplesite.gotop100.com/lists/samplesite/custombanners/33027.gif" border="0" width="468" height="60">
3. </a>
- This signifies the start of the link and shows what webpage it is going to link to.
- This line is WHAT is being linked. It can be text, or as in this case it is an image. It will be clickable.
- And finally the link is 'closed off' with this tag. Without this tag at the end of the image or text, everything else that follows will be clickable to that site!
If you want to add these to your Links Pages or Links Directory, the information that I highlighted in yellow is what you will need. In line 1, this is the Site URL that you are linking to. In line 2, this is the banner URL of the site that you are linking to.
TIP: to make any link open to a new window, insert TARGET="_blank" in between the < and > of the link tag. You can see it in the example above highlighted in blue. However do not enter this in the Links Pages or Links Directory.
