hi everyone!! I have a very pressing question!!

Submitted by kristenkristen on October 14, 2006 - 00:07

hi, I'm kristen. I'm brand new to the webcomic world, and generally, have two figurative left feet when it comes to computers.

However, I have a substantial amount of work online, and want to make a banner link. What's the html or bbcode or whatever that one needs to make a banner link work? Because I designed the picture itself-- now all I need is that precious line of coding!

Thanks!

Banner Size Tips

Excellent!

A couple of tips on image size though - first 800 x 100 is not a standard banner size anywhere on the 'net. 728 x 90 is though so I'd craft a version at those dimensions.

Second, really wide banners in posts or comments kind of messes up the Comixpedia site design. Another very std banner size is 468 x 60 which is also a great size to use for your signature line at Comixpedia.

thanks... it's still not working though...

I think it may be fate, subtly intercepting my hopes and dreams.

 

maybe my html's funny?? Because shouldn't this be working??

Yikes, me too! Xerexes has cleaned my stuff up once or twice, but getting things to work with the code here has never been my strong point.

You can Set Rich Text OFF as a Default

It's now possible to go to your user account and switch the default to having the rich text editor OFF. If you do that unless you click on enable rich-text you can stick to ordinary html codes (although line and para. breaks are automatic - no need to stick in html codes for that).

The allowed HTML codes are: <a> <em> <i> <strong> <b> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <s> <strike> <blockquote> <sub> <sup> <img> and to quote others you use[quote=user name"] [/quote] (Only quote is in square brackets - the rest are all normal html)

It's good to know I'm not the only one who has trouble with Comixpedia code.

Well, that's just HTML in

Well, that's just HTML in general. Various boards have different codes, BBcode is something like:

[url=http://www.your site.com][img]http://www.image location[/img][/url]

I have no idea how it works here at Comixpedia.

I've never got to grips with

by DAJB - 10/14/2006 - 04:10

I've never got to grips with the WYSIWYG buttons here at Comixpedia (yes, I know it's supposed to make it easier!) so I click on the "Disable rich-text" option beneath the comments box. Then you can just use the HTML code as in your first post.
