Caitlin's HTML Instructions

[caitlincares]

To do an internal link on a CF Home Page:

You need to set an anchor
Which is where you want on the page to go to.
For my CF Home Page I put my first anchor in front of the catnapping icon.
The anchor code is <a name="haunts"></a>

So where you want the internal link
You need to point to the anchor location
For the example I am giving the text is My CF haunts
The link code is <a href="http://www.christianforums.com/%7Ecaitlincares#haunts">My CF haunts</a>

The %7E is the squiggly line before userid in CF Home Page address.
The #haunts refers to the anchor already set on the page.

To add music to your CF Home Page:

<bgsound src="xyz.mid" loop="infinite">

xyz.mid is the location of the music file

loop=infinite mean it will keep playing over and over again

A good place to find music is The Cyber Hymnal.
It is mostly public domain.

But I would advise you copy the midis to your own space.
That is so not to overload the Cyber Hymnal server with hits.

I think it would be a great idea to get this thread a sticky, so it stays on top of the page and can easily and immediately be seen.

I like to play around with my page and don't mind if I lose blessings in the process. Most people would mind and so these instructions would benefit a lot of members and maybe even encourage others to have their own homepage. And that's why I don't want to see this thread "getting lost" in the multitude of the testing threads.

I'd like to point out to this thread in the faq (unless you object but I really think it should be known that you postt html instructions and I think the homepage faq is a good place).

I could, of course, insert a link but that still does not take care of those who don't visit the faq. And a sticky is a more prominent place.

 

[caitlincares]

That would be okay with me.
I have created CF Home Pages for a few people.
Always willing to help anyone when I can.

 

[carmi]

Great.

Until it gets a sticky, I'll insert a link to your thread tonight.

Thanks. I appreciate it and I know many others will appreciate this as well.

 

[carmi]

Just testing whether I linked properly (without crashing).

Thanks, Carmi, for your thread on html, et al.

You mention creating an inside link (i.e., not off the CF) to your avatar and your sig iamge...

I'd love to link them both to my CF homepage, but even after reading every FAQ I can find, I STILL can't find out WHERE to add an img link to eeither the avatar or the sig img.

If I'm mistaken, please let me know and I'll quit trying -- but if it IS possible, maybe you can explain it or link me to the explanation.

Thanks soooo much!

Caitlincare started this thread and posted the html instructions for those who want to create their own CF homepage but do not have any or not much experience with html. The CF homepage has to be written in html.
The instructions for internal links are the codes needed to put an internal link on your CF homepage.

You cannot link your avatar to your homepage.

You could add a link to your CF homepage in your signature. But right above your signature is already a link to your homepage (provided by CF). It shows on every post you make.

If you wish to make a link in your sig to your homepage, you would have to do this with the vb code - here's a link to a page with vb code instructions

If I misunderstood your question or you have more, let me know.

Sorry for late reply. I just re-discovered this thread in my "follow-up" folder

I can't tell you off-hand but I try to find out and will let you know in a few days (I am offline Sunday and Monday).

I'd like to add my favourite song to my homepage. Does it have to be in midi or wav format? I have it on a cd and ripped it to my computer and its in wma format (windows media file).

Also are there any rules on copyrighted stuff being on homepages? And do I have to upload it somewhere else first and link to it?

Do I have too many questions???
