hi there.

I would like to do some banner exchange with friendly sites, but can't seem to figure out an easy way to create an extra page to drop my banners on.
I would like that page to be accessible from navbar only, and it should be just a page with list of banners.

is it doable? (really don't want to be getting a hosting just for that)

thanks in advance

Are you going to add the banners to a gallery just like photos? Create a
gallery under the other category and make it unlisted under gallery settings.
Then only a direct link from your nav can get to it. Turn originals on and they
can use the save icon in the photobar.

I did think of that, but i'd like them to be clickable.

Clickable to what? What would you like to happen when they are clicked?

ugh.. sorry, i thought it is obvious since I want to exchange banners.

I would need a new window / tab to come up that would display the corresponding site.

ideally i'd like to just put in a code as such

<A HREF="http://www.FoquesPhoto.com"><IMG SRC="http://foquesphoto.com/photos/762583173_3GUXf-L.png" WIDTH="230" HEIGHT="110" ALT="FoquesPhoto.com" BORDER="0"></A><BR>

but for other sites.

Create a new gallery in journal (old) style and set it to unlisted. Add your
text and links to the gallery description.
Here's one example, many variations.

These can be created anyway you like with html and formatted with CSS.

allen, thank you very much! it works grand for the most part.
the first option was exactly what I was looking for.

I can't seem to get the buttons and gallery image to not show up though.

here is what I am seeing
http://foquesphoto.com/Other/Partner-Banners/11006976_YinjL

I did change the CSS to
.gallery_11006976_YinjL #myText {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 600px;
background: #eee;
color: #444;
padding: 0 20px 5px 20px;
}

.gallery_11006976_YinjL #myText p {
color: #666;
font-family: Comic Sans MS, verdana, tahoma;
font-size: 110%;
text-align: justify;
}

/* hide things not needed on page */
.gallery_11006976_YinjL .nophotos h3,
.notLoggedIn .gallery_11006976_YinjL #breadcrumb,
.notLoggedIn .gallery_11006976_YinjL .journal_entry,
.gallery_11006976_YinjL #albumNav_top,
.gallery_11006976_YinjL #albumNav_bottom {display: none;}

any thoughts?

thank you.

Re-read the red part :D That shouldn't be in your CSS without comment tags.

Replace the xxxxxxx with your gallery number. (Do not include the gallery security key)

.gallery_11006976_YinjL #myText {.....




Any text has to have comment tags arounrd it.

/* Replace the xxxxxxx with your gallery number. (Do not include the gallery security key) */

.gallery_11006976 #myText {.....

Change them all to remove the key.

Just a note, this in CSS allows you to see the gallery photos when logged in, visitors will not.
.notLoggedIn .gallery_11006976 .journal_entry,

This is only needed if there are no photos in gallery, can remove it.
