Checked out your site! Very well done.. but now I wanna add images such as "new" "pop" and "updated" as you did, but can't seem to find the info myself. Only info I found (Yup.. I did look before asking) was at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/faq/db.cgi/default.htm?view_records=1&ID=8&format=long&sb=5&Product=Links&ww=1 but it did not seem to work for me. Is this for an older version? I noticed some inconsistancies in the directions compaired to the actual file.

Can you please give me some assistance, seeing as you have done it and you seem to be a very helpful person on the forum.

Also.. where would one find that "Recommend this Site" you are using?

Thanx for your help in advance...

The instructions you were looking at were for Links v1, I believe.

I have online instructions on how to do the 3-level new graphics for Links v2 (both template and non-template) located at http://www.orphanage.com/goodstuff/new_mod.html .

As of right now, it does not include the instructions for using the "updated" graphic but will as soon as I have the time to write it. It will probably be in a different document, though, because it is setup differently (involves the use of a new field in links.db).

The "Recommend This Page" was done using a script called "birdcast.cgi" that I obtained from a neat place called BigNoseBird located at www.bignosebird.com . They have a lot of neat things there including cgi scripts (all free). I installed a second copy of it to use in the "Recommend It" for each link I displayed. If there is enough demand for it, I plan on putting the instructions for that online as well. As of right now, only about 3 people have voiced an interest.
