Frequently Asked Questions Here are the answers to the most frequent questions I get asked. What program do you use for creating your graphics ?? Paintshop Pro mostly, which you can get from http://www.jasc.com, I also use Adobe Photoshop, Fractal Design Painter and a few others. What program do you use for creating your web pages ?? I've tried hundreds, but now I only use WebEdit 2.0 For Windows 95, I don't use any of the features that automatically create pages or insert tags, I just type it all manually, I could just use a word processor I suppose....Web Edit is available from http://www.sandiego.com/webedit/ How do you create your buttons ?? Again I use Paintshop Pro, but you need a set of what are called "Plug-In Filters", the ones I use for creating buttons are called "NVR Bordermania". If you go to Banner World at http://www.stuff.uk.com/banners you'll see a button marked "Tutorial" on the left, go into here and you'll find loads of info on Plug-In's plus links to places where they can be downloaded. Where's the tutorial section ?? See "How do you create your buttons" above. I've got a picture on my page, I want people to go to another site when they click on the picture, how do I do this ?? Suppose the picture is called "picture.gif" the code you need is... <A HREF="http://www.destination.com"> <IMG SRC="picture.gif"></A> You need to replace "http://www.destination.com" with the URL you want people to go to when they click on the picture. I've put a link to you on my page, but the button doesn't show up, what am I doing wrong ?? One of two things, either you've not saved the little logo onto your hard disk and uploaded it to your server, or you've saved the little logo under a different name than it says in the code. The code is.... <A HREF="http://www.aaa-banners.com"> <IMG SRC="stufbutt.gif"></A> If you've saved the button under a different name you need to change the "stufbutt.gif" in the code above to whatever you've called the button. If you've not got the button there's one here, right click on it and save it as "stufbutt.gif", upload it to your server and insert the code above where you want the button to appear. ![[Picture]](http://www.aaa-banners.com/images/stufbutt.gif){kind=small}
How do I download images on my MAC ?? Click on the image you want and HOLD DOWN the mouse button, when the menu appears select "Save Image As" from this menu. I'm having problems downloading images, what's wrong ?? The main problem seems to be AOL, there seems to be no way to download images when using their own browser. The solution is either to get a copy of Netscape (keyword Netscape), or send me an e-mail containing the names of the images you want, and the sections they're in, and I'll e-mail them to you. |
