FAQ: Linking To Us

Can I insert your HTML links if I am with a free hosting company?
Many free web hosts will not allow this piece of code to function on their servers. This is common practice and unfortunately there is nothing we can do to help you. If you only want to link to us you can insert a simple text link instead of using our code.

Why might I have trouble inserting HTML links on my site??
The link might not display properly if the html code becomes corrupt during the insertion process. This can happen if the program you are using treats any part of the code as non-html. For example - here is the properly formatted standard site link html code:
 
<!--PETPEOPLESPLACE LINK CODE STARTS --><a href="http://www.petpeoplesplace.com" title="Click Here for Pet Supplies and Resources!"><img src="http://www.petpeoplesplace.com/images/branding/petpeoplesplace_120_60.gif" width="120" height="60"></a><!--PETPEOPLESPLACE LINK CODE ENDS -->
 
If this becomes corrupt, your program will represent the actual symbols above like "<" in html code such as "&lt;". This will mean your link will not display properly.

What is the best way of inserting HTML link codes into my page using Notepad?
Notepad is the best way of inserting code into your site. First, oepn the web page you want to open. Place the cursor where you want the link to be placed on the page. Paste the HTML code exactly as it appears on the part of our site where you retrieved it. Save the Web page file. Now you'll open the page in a browser and test the link you just created.?Upload the page to your site and double-check the link again.

How can I insert HTML link codes using web site creation software?
Programs like FrontPage have enormous benefits to non-expert users but they also have some drawbacks such as often corrupting HTML code like ours. There are two good ways of making sure the code does not become corrupt. Open the page you want to edit and place the cursor at the point in the page where you want the code to appear. From the Insert menu select Advanced and then HTML. Simply paste the code into this box and press OK. Alternatively, place the cursor at the point in the page where you want the code to appear and right-click. Select Paste as HTML and the code will be inserted. You can check that the link will appear properly by using the Preview tab. Upload the page to your site and double-check the link again.?
