How to use the the partnerlinks page on your website

June 8, 2008

1. Login to your hosting account by ftp. Always best to use an ftp client to do this rather than a browser. If you do not have an ftp client you can select a free one by clicking here.

2. Open up the public_html directory and then the includes folder and locate the file links.inc. Download this file to somewhere on your pc you can easily find it.

3. Open the links.inc file. This can be opened with any standard html editor, but not a wysiwyg editor. If in doubt open it with notepad. Depending on your PC setup you may have to associate the notepad application with this kind of file first.

4. The links.inc file is a blank file that will take any html code and display it on the partnerlinks page of your site, when it is uploaded back into the includes folder by ftp.

5. Any banner code you already have can be pasted on this file. Each time you add a banner or a text link, remember to create space between each one by simply adding in

Unsure on how to create a hyperlink? Then click here.

6. When you are finished with the links you are creating close your file and select the option to save changes. Or select to save the file as, remembering to ensure that the file has a .inc extension, as notepad will automatically want to create a new file with the extension of .txt, which is of no use to you.

7. With your file saved, it is simply a matter of connecting to your site with an ftp client again and open up the public_html directory and then the includes folder and then upload your new links.inc file. When you now go to your site, the links you have created will appear on the partnerlinks page.
You can make as many changes as you wish to your links file, simply uploading it after you have finished
