How about creating "Spread the Word!" Buttons and Banners

Hi,

Probably others such as me have blogs were they post topics about interesting stuff  smile

If we had some Buttons and Banners and code (XHTML) such as OPENSUSE has (http://en.opensuse.org/Buttons), it would be easier to "Spread the Word!" about Scratch.

Re: How about creating "Spread the Word!" Buttons and Banners

That's a great idea altamiro. We are definitely going to that. We are holding on a little bit on the "spread the word" until we have some of the features finished on the website. I will post some spread the word icons to this forum to get your feedback

Happy Scratch-ing :-)

Re: How about creating "Spread the Word!" Buttons and Banners

Well, you could get images from the scratch site, and implement them, in HTML.
Like this:

Code:

<a href='scratch.mit.edu' style='text-align:center;padding:2px;color:#000000;width:230px;text-decoration:none;display:block;background-color:#FFFFFF;background-image:url("http://scratch.mit.edu/img/bg_sidecontainer.png");background-repeat:no-repeat;text-shadow:1px 1 px 1 px #666666'>
<h3>Programming for Everyone!!!</h3>
<img src='http://scratch.mit.edu/img/gr_logo_scratchr.png'>
<ul style='text-align:left'><li style='color:#0000FF'>Imagine</li><li style='color:#88EE88'>Program</li><li style='color:#CCCC55'>Share!</li></ul>
<u style='color:0000FF'>Get it now!</u></a>

Try it in a browser.

P.s. For the scratch team: Is it okay to hotlink to images on scratch's server? (as the above code does)

I think it's OK to hotlink..... Because people are hotlinking projects to their sites....

Wow, wait. We can use Scratch-Download Now button from the Download box on homepage.

Do you mean like little pictures that link to the scratch website? Like this:

We then post them on other forums in our signatures and stuff?

Re: How about creating "Spread the Word!" Buttons and Banners

Nice, but the "scratch" text is too bright so people can't read it. My solution: decrease saturation.

Re: How about creating "Spread the Word!" Buttons and Banners

This idea is great and all, blah blah blah I skipped over all the replies.
Now here's whats wrong with it. From what I've seen of that code (I lied, I looked at that code box) that's like way over 400 characters, which is like the limit on signatures
