Hi Vonnagy,

I'm glad you put this up because I've been wanting to link to you, and in fact have a whole page on my ws just for hosting stuff going over here. Anyhoo, copy and pasted to my site and this is what I got.

What did I do wrong?

I did it a long time ago.

Hi Elsa ta for the linky: Here what went wrong, if you look at the HTML source or your link (on your browser, VIEW -> SOURCE)

Code:

&lt;a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com"&gt;Photography Forum&lt;/a&gt;

if you have an HTML editor, you to go to the HTML SOURCE and paste this in there:

Code:

<a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com">Photography Forum</a>

I am not sure what program you are using but its common if you pasted the "<" and ">" tags in the graphical that they will be converted to "<" in the source code.

What do you use to edit your web page? Just pm me if or the gang here if you need further help

So if we put this link up...do we get a fancy title??? Or loads of great rep points??? j/k I've had one up for a while now, why not link to this place...full of great folks, and the best help I've gotten on my photography since I've started (that's including a college class)

Alison · Jan 22, 2005

Looks like you got your fancy title

Thanks for the TPF support!

lol!

And on a side note, have you seen the supercharged convertible mini cooper they are coming out with? I want ooooooooooooooone! Probably wouldn't actually FIT in it though! :lol:

Actually I haven't seen it, gonna have to do a google search now!!! I bet it's awesome though...anything with the words mini cooper can't possibly be bad, I'm even a big fan of the older ones!!! But if it's a convertible I'd make a way to fit in it :lol:

Digital Matt · Jan 23, 2005

I'm in the process of redesigning my website now, and I'll certainly link to the site

terri · Jan 25, 2005

So.....this jargon actually gives you the forum image to click on, is that right? I am in the process of getting my website up and it's a no-brainer to link over here....but I'd like it to be from the image. Is that what this is for?

(Someone is doing it for me so I'd like to get this info to him, if it's what I'm thinking it is.)

oriecat · Jan 25, 2005

No, Ter, that's just the standard code for a written link. I think they are working on buttons still.

If you want to use the current logo image, it would go like this:

<a href="http://www.thephotoforum.com"><img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/tpf_logo.gif" alt="TPF Logo" /></a>

except I don't know if Chase would want people hotlinking to the logo... but that's the general idea
