LQ Banner

bongenheimer · 09-15-2005, 12:51 PM

Is there any LQ Banners that I can post in my website. Just putting a link is kinda cheesy. I have the Firefox banner and wanted to put a LQ banner there as well. I could make my own, but if there is an "Official" LQ button or banner, I would rather have that.

http://www.linuxquestions.org/propaganda/ is where you will find them.

The page only has a Pic. There is no Banner as such.

I would like to have a banner. (I mean the pic which we click and are directed towards the LQ Site.

Just like the one on the LQ homepage at the top.

Ok. I made one.

Code:

<center>
<a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/">
<img src=http://images.linuxquestions.org/questions/images/LinuxQuestions.gif"" border="0"
  alt="Linuxquestions.org"><br>The LQ Site.</a>
</center>

That works, yes, but you're burning additional bandwidth on jeremy's part by hotlinking the image. You should download it and use a local copy instead so you don't burn up his bandwidth.

Oh yeah.

But I wonder such a small image would burn up the Huge Bandwidth this site must be having.

Surely that can be replaced by a local copy.

yeah- I don't think sites mind if you take their banner by downloading it to use to link to them- it's more traffic for them. However, unless told to, you should NOT dirrectly link to the image.

flikr is free- all I've used mine for is to put up images for my blog- no worries about server space.

>flikr is free

Whats that?

If it is a image hosting site, i use Photobucket.

Some people also use Imageshack.

Moreover, I think that Blogger.com also can host images on its own. But yeah. The images are positioned at pre-defined positions.

titanium_geek · 10-31-2005, 07:58 AM

yeah- blogger can host images but I find that the interface at my photohosting of choice is easier to use.

http://www.flickr.com/

btw- "center" is depreciated.
