    Required linkback

    Joining the UKWN allows you permission to add the UKWN chart to your website. Being a part of the network, we hope our member stations spread the word and to do this we would expect you to carry a link back to UKWN in some way, shape or form. To assist you in making your link back to http://www.metserv.info/pages/ukwn/ we have created a selection of images for you to use.

    My sincere thanks go to Scotweather and "Budgie" for the design and permission to use.

    Re: Required link back

    Here is another, unauthorised alteration of an earlier version.

    It's a members version, and do not forget to link it back.

    BTW, what address would yu like the link to?

    Re: Required link back

    As a complete novice could someone tell me how I put one of the logos on my web page and make it a link back?

    Re: Required link back

    sure,

    save the image to your desktop , then upload it to your root folder on your website via FTP

    you would then use something like this

    Code:
    <a title="United Kingdom Weather Network" href="http://www.ukweathernetwork.co.uk" target="_blank">[img]http://yourwebsite.com/imagename.gif[/img]</img></a>

    Re: Required linkback

    This is how I do it, it is purly the body, and edidited to remove other links.

    Code:
     
<a href=Http.//[URL="http://www.ukweathernetwork.co.uk"]www.ukweathernetwork.co.uk[/URL] target="_blank">[img]UKWN_logo3_100.png[/img]</a></font></p>
    The "src="UKWN_logo3_100.png" " is the actual png or picture, (it can be a JPG GIF whatever, mine happens to be a png as I could not be bothered changing from the download and saw no reason to do so) file your are displaying.

    The first part <a href="http://www.midlandsweather.org.uk/" target="_blank"> is the link, in this case it will open the page in a new window. The link is that you have made the image a button, and when pressed it will open that page in this case in a seperate window.

    If you have it, rather than writing from scratch, Microsofts Frontpage is not that bad, there are many, many other better HTML writers about. The best I have found is NoteTab, you have to write it yourself,but if you are not sure youcan import a page created by Frontpage, and edit to suit.

    If you wish realy good dinamic displays try Flash. I am experimenting with incorporating my weather site into flash. Do not rush nothigh flash is there; yet.

    Hope this helps you.

    Take care.

    Re: Required linkback

    Just for ease, you may wish to use the official URL which is
    Code:
    www.ukweathernetwork.co.uk
    or the direct link to
    Code:
    http://www.metserv.info/pages/ukwn/

    Re: Required linkback

    OK, my last reply appears to have got lost in the ether - hope which ever Universe pick it up can make sence of it.

    Well that link took a long time arriving!

    Thanks for that post Grant.

    At least we now have a address for a direct link, rather than going through The Midlands.

    The Midlands is a great forum and web site, but if you wish UK, you required the direct link.

    I may have screwed up my last post as I tried to change the link.

    Thanks.
