Web Banners

You already have a jpg or gif graphic like the one below.

SIZE IS EVERYTHING
Popular sizes are between 100 - 250 pixels wide. This enables the person "stealing" the code to easily embed it in the sidebar of their blog or site. It is also generally advisable to have a choice of banners. For instance 100, 150, and 200. The banner below was created by Theatre Ventoux for their production of This Flattering Glass.

SAVING TO A SOURCE PAGE
If you have your own website... just designate a page (that may or may not be for public view for your images to be placed.

If you have a blog... upload the image within a post.

This provides your image with a "home" or location on the web. By right clicking on the image and checking "properties" most of the information that you will need will be displayed.





Looking at the code above... you will find the important information to fill in below to create your code
  • href="http..." - this is the address you want the reader to go to when they click the banner. In the case here it is... http://www.theatreventoux.net
  • target="_blank" - opens the site in a new window.
  • scr="http..." this is the location or home of the image. In the case here it is... http://www.theatreventoux.net/Images/TFGBanner2.jpg
  • height="http..." the height of the image.
  • width= "http..." the width of the image.

Thanks for telling! I might have to play with this. I don't know what for, but maybe I'll think of something.
