Bitcoin Link Exchange

Starting a new thread due to revisions in the process.

Add this script to your site

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://startbitcoin.com/links.js">
</script>

Here's what it currently displays. It is basically a list of sites written in html with style attachments so you can customize the look for your site.

Code:

<div id="bitcoinlinks">
<h3>Other Great Bitcoin Sites</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<a target="_blank" title="Bitcoin" href="http://startbitcoin.com/">Bitcoin Guide</a>
</li>
<li>
<a target="_blank" title="Bitcoin Blog" href="http://bitcoinprofits.us/">Bitcoin Profits</a>
</li>
<li>
<a target="_blank" title="Invest in startup companies using your bitcoins" href="http://www.btcvc.com/">Bitcoin Venture Capital</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

You can download the CSS at http://startbitcoin.com/bitcoinlinks/bitcoinlink.rar

and upload it to your home directory after you customize it to look right. I'm willing to help if needed.

Add this script to your site

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://startbitcoin.com/links.js">
</script>

Excellent!  It works in my WP/thesis site with no extra help.

[thinkweis]

It will on most but some might need some customization. Feel free to download the CSS pack and make it your own. I will be adding more features later. If anyone has any ideas on what they would like to see implemented, let me know.

To do:
Have a way to limit the number of links that show up. (based on webmaster's input)
Make the links show up in random order due to that fact.

That is one I have been thinking about and plan to implement in the very near future. As far as the random order, I didn't think of that but I like it very much. I will also be looking into categorizing everything so people can choose what categories they want to display or they can display multiple categories.

I was also considering paying bitcoin related websites a small fee to post it on their site. But I would have to figure out a revenue stream for that based on their traffic. I am pretty new to java script but I know a few other languages so it's not a horrible transition.

That is a great suggestion! Please keep them coming.

You deleted the opening quote tag with the relevant information from my post.  Here it is below (if you want to edit your post):

Code:

[quote author=PandaMiner link=topic=23789.msg300407#msg300407 date=1309317851]

How are you going to implement categories? I'm thinking purely html. How about an extra class?

<div id="bitcoinlinks">
<h3>Other Great Bitcoin Sites</h3>
<ul>
<li class="cat_info">
<a target="_blank" title="Bitcoin" href="http:// startbitcoin.com/">Bitcoin Guide</a>
</li>
<li class="cat_info">
<a target="_blank" title="Bitcoin Blog" href="http:// bitcoinprofits.us/">Bitcoin Profits</a>
</li>
<li class="cat_finance">
<a target="_blank" title="Invest in startup companies using your bitcoins" href="http:// www.btcvc.com/">Bitcoin Venture Capital</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

That way with CSS, the webmaster can choose not to display certain classed items.

/* CSS for bitcoinlinks */
DIV#bitcoinlinks ul li.cat_finance {display:none;}

[thinkweis]

In the actual bitcoinlinks.js file I can assign categories and us if statements to determine what shows up.

[PandaMiner]

Okay, use IF statements. But how will the website owner utilize them? I don't know .js

[thinkweis]

You will be able to assign variables. Once I do it I'll explain. But for now we need to get more people involved.
