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 border="0"
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 "<".
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.
