My big suggestion would be to REALLY think how you want to set up your LL. I sure wish I would have done some things differently the last time I "re-designed". You sure dont want to have to change later, end up with new pages, like starting all over again with the SE's for one thing. You also dont want to have to go back to all those sites you traded with and ask for links to be changed. Or you change things and your trade partners find out and think your trying to screw them.

You mentioned listings being held in a folder. Most LL scripts work off a database, all the listings are stored in a database which can be used how every you want. You probably already knew that...:)

I use my own script, so I can't give any input on any other ones out there.

That's what I'm doing, thinking, and it hurts |confused| But there's gold nuggets around here and I'm putting them in my pocket so when I'm ready, I'll have a pocket full |bananna| |roses|

Nothing is wrong with tables, they work better for cross browser support. I have just become a css snob. :)

I think I saw somewhere that you can use
or something to make a table. Do you find it easier that plain html?

If you end up going with draginlists, you can set the build type to table and it will output the links surrounded by tr's and td's. If you are comfortable with tables I would suggest starting that way, so you aren't troubleshooting both your list include & your css .

You can always move to a non-table version in the future if you need or want to.

My only thing with tables is they add so much code, almost bloating pages. Course I still use many because I have'nt learn enough css..:)

Thanks for you help Lemmy. Have looked at both LL's demos.

I`ve chosen xpowerlinks a few weeks ago and now I am designing my link list.I like the script myself, but its up to you what will you choose.If I can help you with something hit me up.I am still learning anyway :)

Here's something else I was thinking about for my link list. I want to offer $1.00 trials but instead of having one link say, on the amateur page to one amateur tour, I was thinking about a link to a page with thumb screen caps of 4-6 amateur tours with different sponsors to offer a choice. Each page would have a link back to the main page. A lot of pages, one for each catagory....I don't know if this would be good or bad. Any thoughts?

Hi Licker...I just sent you a PM...let me know if you need anything or have specific questions |thumb

Licker4U 2007-02-27 06:39 PM

I'm looking at different ways to offer free, $1.00 or $2.00 trials on the index page. I thought about a link that says "Click here for a list of sites that offer trials under $2.00". That links to a page with all the catagories, amateur, anal, asian, etc. Each of those links links to a page with 5-6 thumbs of the tours of sites that offer trials under $2.00 with the name of the tour under each thumb, so the surfer can have a choice. Each of the catagory pages would have a link to the corresponding nice page with the trials. Is that too much clicking? I know it really filters traffic but is it too much?

Easier way of doing this :) but if interested, PM me and we can go over all available options you can pick and choose and I'm available if it's more |thumb
