Banner Questions

[RodB]

Daniel,

When you add HTML you must be in the HTML screen of the website editor. I suspect this is the problem.

Rod thanks for getting back to me but...

Nope, Been there done that!!!  Still not working for me.  I cant even see the banners on the banner page here.  Im thinking that it might have do be some kind of security setting on my PC, but I frankly have no idea where to look!!

Any ideas?

I have had the same problem today.
When I put the html code in my website it don't show the banner and I gave up
and went in this forum here. It's not the GDI website is one of my other webs.
A couple days before I did not have this problem and it was working fine.

Now I read here it's not just me. Maybe something wrong?
Would be fine when somebody test it too.

I would love to put the neew logo on top of my page.  Anyone know where I could get it to put it into my gallery??

Thanks

There are two ways to put banners on your site via the site builder.

Upload a banner to your gallery and insert it as an image or put the HTML code in the HTML mode of the site editor.

In HTML mode the following will put a banner on your page. It's important to put the " marks exactly as you see them here.

<center><a href="http://website.ws/kvmlm2/mydhtml?sponsor=USERID"><img src="http://images.website.ws/banners/kvmlm2/468x60_01.gif" border="0"></a></center>

Okay, I'm sure this has been probably been addressed before...I'm trying to post a WS banner to my site but all I get in the preview is the HTML.  What am I missing?? 

Thanks,  Michael

You need to put it in the HTML section of the editor. Select the HTML tab at the bottom of the editor

Hi Everybody,

I note that there are flash adverts for promotion purposes, but I can't find any jpeg ads. Do I take it that there aren't any? It's just that I have a website to promote products, but I can only use jpeg images.

Hello,

JPEG handles only still images. You can have someone create you a JPEG image for your Website or you could use Photoshop and create your own. There are sites on the Web which allow you to create your own logos, banners, etc. for free.

You can go to www.download.com and enter in "banner maker" or "logo maker" and download free software.

You can use this one



I save my images to my computer, then upload them to www.photobucket.com (it's free).  Then you can resize them if need be.  To find out the size of a banner, right click on the pic and then click on properties and it will give you the size (among other info about the pic).

Thanks for the heads up on photobucket.com .. Now I don't have to worry about how to get into Site Builder's Gallery.

You can upload banners to your webspace just to store them, now you have a url for that banner.  You can use a simple web page editor to make your own site as well.  I use Adobe page mill.  It's an old version but that is all I really need for simple webpages and lead capture pages.  I use MS front page also, but that is for advanced users.

I have been looking and asking for the answer to this question and am at a brick wall.  I have wanted to put certain banners on surf sites, but in some of them they want the "banner URL site" not the "html" that you put to make the banner.  I don't understand this at all.  Does that mean a different URL than the origianl "site" URL???  And where can I find this "Banner URL"  Computer stupid here!   

Thanks,

Pam

Hello,
 
Sure hope this helps and if any one more experienced has a better way please jump in and help.

I have copied the code for one of the banners from my GDI back office. If you look at the part I highlighted (red) in the block of code, the highlighted part is the banner url. Please note do not us the highlight url in the example below unless you change the user name to your own!

When you have choosen the banner (from your GDI back office or some other source) you want to display,  just copy the part between
the " " (from http  up to and including your gdi user name) . Then paste the copied banner url to the place you need it ...this should work and display the banner of your choice.

A URL is just the actual address eg http://www.somesitesomewhere.ws/images/mybanner.gif

HTML is used to display a banner so typically you would use
<img src="http://www.somesitesomewhere.ws/images/mybanner.gif">
