This is where you will find out how to link your Artsite to Arts Downunder and it's Database.
It is not an obligation to link to ADU
...but for those wishing to link, this is how it's done.....



GO:

.....once again, we've started out from the front or 'Home page' of ADU. Clicking on "Link" takes you to a page with an assortment of graphics based on the ADU Logo. Continue...

   
  • ..."right click" (or Control-click Mac) on the chosen image....


  • Note: the graphics have been prepared for either a black or a white background...but this is not a pre-requisite. There is no need to process the images beyond their appearance here...they have already been optimised for size and compression.
  • Note: clicking on the "Link" link found on any page of ADU will bring you to this page.
   
  • ...then select "Save this Image AS...." from the drop-down list that appears. This will open a "Save" window...
   
  • ...save the image to the folder of images you created when building your own Website...
   

  • ...now insert the saved image into your Website and attach ADU's URL as the link. This is the URL:

    http://www.artsdownunder.com

    ...open your WYSIWYG Web-page building application (eg. Frontpage) and place your cursor on the spot on your Web-page where you've decided the ADU link should be...then follow your application's instructions for inserting images. Up-load to your Server...refresh your view so that changes appear...check the results.

  • Thank you.

  • Note: WYSIWYG ("wizz-ee-wig") is an acronym...a word made from initials...it stands for "What you see is what you get".
    Some applications are indirect...things don't go where you want them to without extra skills on your behalf. A WYSIWYG application lets you see exactly how your efforts will look as you insert and adjust the layout or page design
    . But you may still find that different Computers, Web Browsers, or screen resolutions cause things to be different...be aware of this and check your pages on a variety of computers and operating systems...testing and compromising are necessities.
   

  • Note: you can enliven your own website by adding logos and links from any other site you relate to or wish to give credit, just by using these same steps...it isn't necessary for the other site to offer an optimised graphic link...if you do, maintain the quality of the original.
    Consider them as "stickers" that do something.







  • Note: LOGO should be pronounced "log-" as in logarithm.
    A "logo" is a sign, a graphic symbol or character representing a word or a meaning...it is best thought of as an entities identification stamp...hence "brand" or signature name.
    Royalty and Nations, cities, and towns have their crests and Holy symbols...business and the everyday has the logo. (Check "logograph" in a Dictionary).
