I made a banner to represent the word community grid project that everyone can advertise from any sites they own, or forums they post in. It looks like this:
You post this banner, with a link to this site, and hopefully it will promote new members. I already post is on my site and use it on the forums I frequent. Everyone else is encouraged to advertise this site with the banner (be respectful though, no spamming). Below are samples of the code you can use to display this banner. To post this on a website or other module permitting HTML code, use this: <a HREF="http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/join_now/join_now.html"><img src="http://img193.exs.cx/img193/4994/wcg16ml.gif"></a> To post it on forums, use this code (remember to use [ ] brackets instead of { }): {url=http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/join_now/join_now.html} {img}http://img193.exs.cx/img193/4994/wcg16ml.gif{/img}{/url} If the above code doesn't work for forums, use this: {url}http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/join_now/join_now.html{/url} {img}http://img193.exs.cx/img193/4994/wcg16ml.gif{/img} If none of the above two work on your forums, you probably have an uncommon code and should check what is the method for posting a picture. Remember to post a link too so that people can check it out! Later I'll work on different variations of the banner. Give me some requests for slogans as well as different background colours or images (ie: a protein or dna image) and other logo's for the side if you get sick of the globe. |

Yeah some clients like hotmail let you use rich text signatures in which you can attatch gifs or whatever to your signature, and it would work there, I think, if you just right-click and saved the gif to your own computer, then attatched it to the email signature. If you're really desperate you can attatch it manually to each email ;)

Very cool indeed! The banner appears to be 82k in size, which seems a bit heavy to me. Perhaps this is as small as one can reasonably get with a spinning globe graphic. Excellent job on the pastel colors and style!

Billy Bob,
You said: We (You and I (The Members)) control: "WorldCommunityGrid.ws and WCG.cc"! What does this mean? Do members have access to these domains? Or just certain members? Can we upload graphics, or must we contact certain members to upload? Who? Thanks for your help! |

Billy Bob, You said: We (You and I (The Members)) control: "WorldCommunityGrid.ws and WCG.cc"! What does this mean? Do members have access to these domains? Or just certain members? Can we upload graphics, or must we contact certain members to upload? Who? Thanks for your help! Hello MNTechnoGuy. Billy Bob a Member of My Online Team was kind enough to purchase both "worldcommunitygrid.ws" and "wcg.cc" domain names, at his own expense for the betterment of all the members here and basically he is offering to host any graphic files that are WCG related or Chat Room related for fun stuff He can also do redirects on Urls to shorten them for use in Signature files to avoid them getting truncated Example #1 https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=Q35RSMBR9N1 Example #2 http://mots.wcg.cc Both take you to our team stats, but the 2nd One saves 57 characters that will allow you to add more to your Signature The maximum allowable characters in your Signature is 250 and this does not allow you to get real fancy with your Signature, so a Url redirect can help tremendously in improving its appearance, by allowing you more characters to play with You can Email him with requests to host graphic files You can Email him with requests to create redirects on Urls Maximum allowable size for graphics is 640x480 and please try to keep them under 100k, *.gif or *.jpg are the preferred format His Email can be found below his signature in his posts I hope this helps A big hand to Billy Bob for being so generous in helping all the members in these Forums, he is such an Astounding, Awesome, Brilliant, Capital, Champion, Chief, Breathtaking, Creative, Excellent, Exceptional, Fantastic, Great, Impressive, Incomparable, Inimitable, Leading, Matchless, Magnificent, Meritorious, Numero Uno, Optimum, Outstanding, Paramount, Peerless, Phenomenal, Pre-eminent, Primo, Stellar, Superior, Superlative, Supreme, Terrific, Unequaled, Unparalleled, Unrivaled, and World Class Gentleman Your Friend [Edit 4 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 13, 2005 8:20:23 PM] |
