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.

Just get the ad codes widget and insert the code in there.

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.
