I think it will be cool to have one. Anyone know how to make those things? like have one of several guys fighting or something to really show the shard world to other people. 01-27-2010 06:49 Scott Jones Administrator Registration Date: 07-22-2006 Posts: 565 Location: Austin RE: Banners!        What a great idea! Do you mean like the kind of banners that have the code attached so you can put them on your site to give others a link to our site? That kind of thing? Scottie ^_^ 01-27-2010 11:45 jayiin mistaya Member Registration Date: 10-23-2009 Posts: 26 Location: Ausitn, TX That kind of banner would be most appreciated, though I could write the code for any image you create. (We could link you on the Dlair page, even!) __________________ /jayiin 01-29-2010 12:29 LostFoxeh Junior Member Registration Date: 01-03-2010 Posts: 19 Location: Austin, Tx Thread Starter RE: Banners!        Yeah, like something I can put on my myspace page. Or something people can click when they see my sig in other forums. 02-04-2010 11:08 Scott Jones Administrator Registration Date: 07-22-2006 Posts: 565 Location: Austin I'll talk to our guy that helps us set up all our web stuff, and see what it takes to add that type of thing to the site,...to see what we need and where we'd end up placing it... If nothing else, if there's no place to put it on the main site (like some of the various stores and comics that offer such a feature), then we might even opt to put it here on the forums for folks to get it they'd like to use it... Let me look into it and see what it would take...

I can write the associated HTML - just make sure you tell people not to hotlink the images so it doesn't affect your bandwidth. /jayiin __________________ /jayiin 02-06-2010 01:37 Scott Jones Administrator Registration Date: 07-22-2006 Posts: 565 Location: Austin Cool! Thanks Jayin! Is there a typical size or set of sizes I should be making for these? Or can you point me to an example of what's expected? I have some links to other sites on the main SHARD site, but those images I just sorta pulled out of my own behind (to suit my page), and didn't base them on any standard... Scottie ^_^ 02-11-2010 02:09 jayiin mistaya Member Registration Date: 10-23-2009 Posts: 26 Location: Ausitn, TX Scott, Standard Web Banner Sizes - this is a good resource for banner sizes. Thanks! /jayiin __________________ /jayiin 02-12-2010 02:52 Scott Jones Administrator Registration Date: 07-22-2006 Posts: 565 Location: Austin How would this work? LostFoxeh, were you looking for something bigger,...smaller? We use this for our personal company link on Drivethru RPG...(which leads to our game's webpage...) Would this do the trick, Jayin? Scottie ^_^ 02-15-2010 03:16 jayiin mistaya Member Registration Date: 10-23-2009 Posts: 26 Location: Ausitn, TX That looks great. The code would look something like this: quote: <a href="http://www.shardrpg.com" target="_blank"><img src=" http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q305/Jadugara/ArtfulShardStudioLogoFlat. jpg" alt="Shard Studios Logo"></a> The text in bold is the image location and should be replaced with the location of where ever they host the image.

But doesn't there also need to be code that links those who click on the image to the shardrpg.com site? Where does that code come into play? And how does that get attached to the image?

Scottie ^_^ Scott, That code is already there - that's the <a href=> code; it get attached to the image by pasting the code with the image code when you have the image posted somewhere. I hope that made sense; I'm only about half-awake! __________________ /jayiin 03-03-2010 11:22 Scott Jones Administrator Registration Date: 07-22-2006 Posts: 565 Location: Austin quote: Originally posted by jayiin mistaya quote: Originally posted by Scott Jones Neat!

I hope that made sense; I'm only about half-awake! Oh!!! OK,...I think I get it... For some reason, all I saw at first was the code pointing to the site containing the image, and I missed the bit relating to the Shard home page.... You must remember, I'm a total luddite when it comes to this kind of stuff... Having never created a web-page of my own without the help of someone else (namely our web-master Dane), I generally depend on built-in (i.e. it makes the code for me) technology to allow me to create some kind of active link...
