We are currently testing out a new footer that will say "hosted by T35 Hosting" instead of the current 20*20 pixel t35 logo that some members have been complaining about. We will be testing several ideas, so please give us feedback!

I just noticed it. I personally like the T35 logo better.

Too many people were having problems with the logo. Plus, i'm hoping this moves up in rankings on google. Any other ideas on what can be better? Oh, and if we decide to keep the text footer (vs. image) the font color, etc.. will be customizable.

chickenmeister1, what's your site url? I want to check out to see how it looks.

Oh, and what do you think about the text itself? I can make it shorter by just doing "free web hosting" or "Free Web Hosting by T35". Would that make anything better?

yeah, if you stick with the text footer, you should put it in a div with a id property so that it can be customized. The only potential problem with that might by users adjusting the the display property so that it is invisible, but inline CSS should prevent that. e.g:

<div id="t35logo" style="display:block;"><a href="http://www.t35.com">Free Web Hosting</a> provided by <a href="http://www.t35.com">T35 Hosting</a>.</div>

or something like that. The link text itself is okay. The two separate links to the same place seems a little redundant, but I guess that might help you out with SEO.


and http://chickenmeister.t35.com/
with the way I have the page set up, the logo appears on the left hand column. If you look at it you'd see why the T35 icon would fit in better than that text, but it's not that big of a deal.

Personally, myself, I like this new text thing. I was able to change the color to make it more readable, so I think making it unchange-able might be a not-so-good idea. XD
This is actually kinda cool. I don't have a problem with it.

chickenmeister  .. Thank you for the suggestion! That's exactly what i had in mind. The reason for two links is that we need "free web hosting" for CEO, and we need "T35 Hosting" for people to realize where the site is hosted. I can make the footer just say "free web hosting" but i feel that might be more confusing?

KNZone2 .. If it goes live, we'll make the color, font, etc.. much easier to modify. I know it's possible to do it now, but you need to have a coding background.

I personally like the text-ad better. I will need to test if my script fortunately will run as it should be.  wink

Btw I think you could shorten the text ad into 'Free Hosting by T35'.
And put the ad in a box, as you said customizable ad is a nice idea. Something like palette feature in google adsense is a good thing you can consider implementing for users either who want the ad to fit with their sites look or dont have a coding background.

Oops. I was playing around with the footer and forgot to add it back. All fixed now. Good catch!
