To Judges: Linking Contest Banners

Most of the banners that contestants have on their home pages are linked to your Photobucket accounts. That's how Photobucket writes their code. You don't have to link to them.

You can remove that from the code... Or BETTER would be, to link it to the song that the contestant sang to win that banner.
(I know that I would like to listen to some of them, but there is no way to do that unless it says what song they sang and most don't).

Perhaps, you could leave a little added instruction for the contestant about linking it it their song. (?)

This is a typical Photobucket hosted banner and code:

NOTE:
(Most common reason when a code doesn't work is an extra space was accidentally made when changing the code.
The quote marks remain and there can be no spaces after that 1st quote or any before the second).

If you want to see this work, I adjusted the code on my profile page to link to the song. (Scroll to bottom and click the banner).

Another thought I had was about the participation banners that some of you give out. (Especially when you give one at the start of a contest).

Why not link that banner to the home page of your contest?
Or your profile page?

Also... Photobucket's code is so involved! All you need is below.

BELOW ARE TWO CODE FORMULAS (save them)
Note: URL just means address. Addresses all start with:
http://
------------------------------
* The basic image link code:

----------------------------------------
* Just to post an image without it being a link to anything:

----------------------------------------
(Just FYI)

If you look at this last code, all it says is:
Image source equals, then the address of where the image is hosted is in quotes. The pointed brackets surrounding that, is so the computer knows you're telling it something.

Hope that helps... :)
