Q: I know I have to put the Vote For My Site
graphic on my web page, but I'm not sure how to
do it. I don't really know HTML. Can you help?
Sure! You can use the File Manager 2.0
or the Quick Site Builder to do it.
To use the File Manager 2.0:
-
Log in to the File Manager
2.0 and find the page (filename) that
you want to put the "Vote for My Site" link
on.
-
Click on the "edit" button
next to that file, and it will open a window
displaying the HTML code for that page.
-
From the e-mail message
you received, and using your computer's built
in copy & paste functions, copy (Ctrl-C)
the snippet of HTML code that you were instructed
to include on your page, and paste (Ctrl-V)
it somewhere on the page. Almost anywhere
will work, but make sure you paste it somewhere
AFTER the opening <BODY> tag and before
the closing </body> tag.
-
Now preview your page and
you should see the link close to where you
wanted it. If not, go back and move the text
using cut (Ctrl-X) and paste (Ctrl-V) being
sure to select all of the Top 20 code. With
a little trial and error, soon you will have
the link exactly where you want it.
If you used the Quick Site
Builder to build your site, you can
use it to put the voting link and graphic on your
site! Here's how to do it:
-
Simply go to the Quick
Site Builder and choose the page you would
like to place the graphic and link on.
-
Locate a text box or text
area near the point on the page that you would
like the voting information to display.
-
Click on the red "edit"
button near the spot that you've chosen.
-
From the e-mail message
you received, and using your computer's built
in copy & paste functions, copy (Ctrl-C)
the snippet of HTML code that you were instructed
to include on your page, and paste (Ctrl-V)
it into the box that popped up when you clicked
"edit".
-
Now preview your page and
you should see the link close to where you
wanted it.
Q: Most 3rd party tools want me to insert some
code in my HTML. How do I do that?
You can use the File
Manager 2.0 or the Old File Manager
and to find (or create) the file you want to add
the enhancement to. Edit the page, and insert
the enhancement where you want it.
If you built your site using
the Quick Site Builder, you can use it
to insert a 3rd party enhancement:
-
Go to the Quick Site
Builder and choose the page you want to
edit.
-
Find the part of the page
on where you want to place the enhancement
and click on the "Edit" button.
-
Copy and paste the enhancement's
HTML code where you want the counter.
-
Click on the "Update" button.
You will be returned to the Quick Site
Builder page.
-
Click on the "Save &
Close" button.
That's it! Now go to your page
and you should see the 3rd party enhancement.
(You may need to refresh the page.)
Q: I don't know much about HTML, so how do I
include a counter into my pages?
You can use the File
Manager 2.0 or the Old File Manager
and to find (or create) the file you want to add
the counter to. Edit the page, and insert the
counter code where you want it.
If you built your site using the Quick Site
Builder, you can use it to insert a counter:
-
Go to the Quick Site
Builder and choose the page you want to
edit.
-
Find the part of the page
on where you want to place the enhancement
and click on the "Edit" button.
-
For a text only hit
counter, copy and paste the following
code where you want the counter:
<ISML TYPE="counter"> Here is an
example of how it will look: 1
- For an odometer style counter, copy
and paste this code where you want the counter:
<ISML TYPE="counter" OPTION="graphic_odometer">
Here is an example of how it will look: http://www.freeservers.com/
http://www.freeservers.com/
- For a 7 segment counter, copy and paste
this code where you want the counter:
<ISML TYPE="counter" OPTION="graphic_7seg">
Here is an example of how it will look: http://www.freeservers.com/
http://www.freeservers.com/
- To create a customized hit counter
using your own graphics:
-
First, you will need to
find or create graphics for the numbers 0
through 9.
-
Each number must be saved
as a ".GIF" image and named after the number
it represents. For example, the image for
the number one MUST be named "1.GIF". Your
number two image must be saved as "2.GIF",etc.
Be sure to have a ".GIF" image for all the
numbers 0 through 9 or your counter will have
a broken image.
-
The number graphics must
be uploaded into the same directory as the
.HTML page that includes your counter tag.
Once you have these images
uploaded to your web site, you can insert this
code where you want the counter and your own graphics
will count the hits on your site. <ISML TYPE="counter"
OPTION="custom">
Here is an example of how it might look: http://www.freeservers.com/
http://www.freeservers.com/
Click on the "Update" button.
You will be returned to the Quick Site Builder
page. NOTE: The counter will not show up in the
Quick Site Builder page, but it is there.
Click on the "Save & Close"
button. That's it! Now go to your page and you
should see the counter. |
