Button exchange
Hi
My idea is that people create buttons for their projects, and share them on here. You can then swap adverts (ie, you put their button in your signature, and they put yours in theirs). If you need to make a button, use http://www.bannercreator.nu/banner-maker.html, probably one of the best! Note, however that you have to copy the image produced into paint. You then make some code like this (see below):
Code:
[url=http://tinyurl.com/pong2v2][img]http://tinyurl.com/8bevw8[/img][/url]
and advertise, giving your project more hits! Top tips:
Put a space between adverts. Doing this will enable you to have 4 adverts in your signature.
Make lots of posts! You can then promote the exchange and thus (indirectly), promote your project.
Use [url=http://www.tinyurl.com]! It will shorten your adverts, giving you more sace to use. Don't forget you sig has a 400 character limit!
If you want an advertiser for your spare space, put this code in it!
Code:
[url=http://tinyurl.com/7m5jd6][img]http://tinyurl.com/8z38kf[/img][/url]

I have discoverd that this happens because the PHP is coded incorrectly, you need to copy and paste the button into paint! I then reccomend saving as a JPEG or PNG (personal preference, I like PNG), upload it to a webhost, such as http://www.freewhost.com, and post it here. It is easier than it sounds.

Re: Button exchange
I think this is the right way to do it:
Code:
[url=http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/EveningSage/386228][img]http://eveningsage.freewhost.com/DungeonsButton.png[/img][/url]
That code produces this:

Using this shortens the codeing and thus alows you to have more adverts in one sig!
Also, yes, I will swap, and need my advert displaying by 0825 22 JAN 2009 GMT
In case you have lost the code, it is:

Re: Button exchange
I got a question, do I have to put on my signature ALL the banners posted until now, or only those which I have exchanged banners with? Anyway, here's my banner:

I didn't use tinyurl, just a direct link to it.
onedudeuk: Ok, I put your button along with mine. Even if it's not Sunday yet 
I have 2 free slots, anyone wants a exchange?

Go to tinyurl.com , and make one for yourself. There is a limit of 100 hits/hr, but it will enable you to have 4 buttons in your sig
