If they are sensible (yes, I know) then there should be an easy to follow receipe but the basic idea is

<a href="http://www.saafe.info/">
<img src="http://www.saafe.info/images/saafeban2.gif"
</a>

First line: it's a link ('a href') and when it's clicked on, go to the site in quotes.

Second line: here's where the image is. Many places want you to make a copy and plonk it on your webhost. This means it can't change without you changing it; it doesn't cost them anything if you got two million visitors; and, most useful, they don't know how many people see it. In this case, it'd be something like

<img src="http://www.sexforcash.co.uk/saafeban2.gif"

or whatever your site is called and wherever you've saved it.

Third line: end of the link.

If you're using an editor that hides the HTML from you, look in its help for how to have an image, then make it a link.

Alternative methods exist. One useful one, if your webhost allows it, is to have copies of the banners on your site and have the link done via a script (a tiny program) on your site. That way, you get to see where your visitors go...

Oh, ha ha when I had my old site this was a problem for me - think it took me 2hrs to figure out how to do it whereupon I discovered it's something that takes about 30 seconds, but I thought that might just be for a moonfruit site, it obviously works with others too though.

Hi Lexie, try this... it should work for you.


Login to your site and click Dashboard then View Banners.
Look for your image URL code next to the banner you wish to place (after <img src='  on the 2nd line)
eg: (http://yoursitename.myescortpage.com/banners/youradultwrkbanner120x80.gif)

Highlight your image URL code between the quote marks only (as above) then right click and select copy.

Now click the Manage tab on your Dashboard.
Click Edit next to Age Check.
Scroll down below your Age Check text, highlight and delete any previous images and code you have already inserted.

Click in the blank space below everything else, then click the Insert Image link on the editor menu (looks like a small tree) to insert a new banner image and a small pop up window will open.

Click in the box where it says Image URL then right click and select paste (to insert image URL you copied earlier). Just make sure there are no single quote marks like '  ' before http or at either end of .gif (if there are any, delete them or the link wont work).

Your banner should show in the Image Preview window.
Name the banner where it says Title then click Insert and pop up will close.

Now click on the banner image on your page to select it and click the Hyperlink button on the editor menu (looks like a small chain link - not the broken one) and small pop up window will open.

Where it says Link URL: Type in the URL of the page you are linking to eg: (http://www.yourbanners_homepage_name.com).

Where it says Target, select: Open in new window _blank and click Insert.
Then click Update at the foot of the editor and click on your homepage link to view your changes.


Good luck

Always amuses me when sites say they want a front page banner. If everyone specified that then how on earth are you going to have a clear page that advertises yourself? As well as the other sites who want to be on there!

Yeah, im not that bothered about them being on the front page because as anika says its only the age check page anyway.

Kemie i read your message and it looks like you have made sense.  im going to give it a go in a little while.  Must have taken you ages to go through all of that, thank you so much. xx

I will let you know how it goes!!

Lexie
