Site Banner

published by walter rowe on Thu, 04/10/2008 - 4:17pm

I have created a simple banner for the site that you can download and post on your site with a link to us if you like. It isn't sexy, but it should do the job for now until we design something a little more interesting.

We would appreciate your posting this banner and a link back to MPN of you are willing. That will help spread the word about our site and get more participants.

Simple banners are great. It shows just what you need to know and is big enough to spark interest. I'll post them as soon as I do all my updates.

...post this on my MySpace and have people just click on the banner to be directed here rather than just look at it and type in the URL?

Good question .. I have updated the original message to include some code snippets for posting the banner and linking to MPN.

Which one is best for putting on a MySpace profile and have it link here? I have the old one on my profile but it won't "click to go" here.

Use the code snippet. That includes the HTML "a" tag that creates the link to our site.

We have a .htaccess file for MPN that prevents outside websites from hotlinking to images here. That was preventing people from accessing the banner files I created. I updated the .htaccess file to allow access to the banners. I also created the following image that all other hotlinking produces.

I implemented a similar mechanism for my own websites some time ago and it has worked well in stopping hotlinks to my files.
