Web Site Banners

jjgardner3 · December 24, 2007

Hi I am of course new here and was looking around today. I want to utilize the store and try to sell some of my pics as on Imagekind. I was curious if there are SmugMug banners for users to display artwork on their web pages abd blogs to get a little exposure for their work ?
Thanks

Happy Holidays !

welcome! You can get some SmugMug graphics (our logo in different sizes) here:

We don't have any pre-made banners though, I'm sorry.

IT may be a good idea to provide, maybe the Pro accounts with banenrs showcasing their artwork they are selling ? Ihave one for an ImageKind account that I have on my blog www.eastcoastblogging.com. I fiind that I get a lot of views of my work this way and maybe SmugMug can have something ike this in the future. Just a thought. I love the service so far !

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year

You can put anything you'd like in your banner, including images from your galleries. And as long as you have external linking turned on in your galleries, photos can be easily shown elsewhere; I link from my blog to my photo galleries all of the time.

I use a random image pulled from one of my galleries as part of my banner / navbar. You can take a look at my site (linked below) if you're interested. And there is no reason why you couldn't put more than one image in your banner - whether it is random or something that you chose to highlight.

Code that pulls random photos in dgrin header: http://wiki.smugmug.com/display/SmugMug/Random+Photos+Code

Here's an example of an html-only gallery that uses the same random photos code to pull random shots from 3 galleries - http://www.denisegoldberg.com/gallery/3659243. Here's the code I used to pull the 3 random photos:

<[B]img[/B] src="/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=3540617&Size=200x200">  <[B]img[/B] src="/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=3567671&Size=200x200">  <[B]img[/B] src="/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=3689564&Size=200x200">

Hope this helps!

Thanks Denise,

I was thinking soemthing not for the smugmug website, rather something like this

[html]<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="badge" align="middle" height="390" width="180">

<embed src="http://www.imagekind.com/flash/banner6up.swf?guid=3b756d0a-7f47-434e-afaf-9357f2860564&rand=false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="badge" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" height="390" width="180"></object>[/html]

It is premade and plugs right in and goes nicely in blogs sidebars
I guess i could take the code and make my own to pull in random images.
Take care
happy holidays

If you're looking for something to be displayed elsewhere, using an <img src html statement (or a series of them) will allow you to pull your images from smugmug - either directly by specifying the exact url, or by using random images as I noted in my last post.

In fact, you can even embed a smugmug slideshow on an external site, as in my blog entry http://denisegoldberg.blogspot.com/2007/10/photo-play.html.

Jimmy, I took out a script bit from the code given, and changed the 'code' tags to 'html' tags, as it was messing up some browsers
