Displaying
Announcements or Advertisements
If your board is
set up to display your Mini-Ads, you will have a link in the
Management Panel called "Add/Edit Announcements or Ads".
If you don't have this link, you can skip this section.
Some Alert
Post-A-Board message boards can display what we call "Icon
Mini-Ads" at the top of each board. Icon Mini-Ads consist of an
icon image, a Title, Text, and a URL.
Icon Mini-Ads can
be used to display advertisements or simple announcements. Each can
be linked to a different Web page or Site, and statistics on
Click-thrus are kept for each Icon Mini-Ad.
Below is an
example of an Icon Mini-Ad as it appears at the top of a message board:
To add Icon
Mini-Ads for display on your message board:
-
Click the Add/Edit
Announcements or Ads link on the Administration Panel.
-
The page that
appears will list any Icon Mini-Ads that already exist. Scroll to the
bottom form that says "Add New Announcement or
Advertisement" as shown below:
-
Fill in the
following fields:
URL Of Icon:
Enter the full URL to a 50 X 50 pixel image to be used for this
Mini-Ad. If the image is a different size, it will be resized to 50 X
50 when it is displayed on the message board. To use the Default Icon
(a pointing hand), leave this field blank.
Title: This
should be a short description of you are advertising. The title will
be hyperlinked to the destination URL.
Site URL:
The full Internet URL of the site to send the user's Browser to when
he or she clicks on this Mini-Ad.
URL Target:
The target Window in which to display the destination site, in case
your message board is displayed within an HTML Frame. Select
"Blank" to force the advertised site to be loaded into a
new Browser window.
Descriptive Text:
Further text to describe the object of the Mini-Ad. Again, keep this
descriptive text very short and to the point.
-
With all of the
fields filled out, and your Target selection made, click the Save
New Announcement button and your new Icon Mini-Ad will be saved.
It will be added to the list of ads to be displayed on your board,
and shown as follows:
To edit an
existing Mini-Ad, make your changes to the ad in the list and click
the Save Changes button.
To Delete an
existing Ad, click the Delete button on the Ad in the list.
