Making Advertisements and Listings for the Directory
If you are familiar with ASP coding, you
are free to prepare your advertisement specific to your needs. Please note,
however, that we cannot troubleshoot problems arising from your coding.
You may contact the webmaster,
Oaktree
Web Development, for
assistance in the preparation of your advertisement.
If you are placing a free directory listing. Please refer to the
following instructions.
- If your Listings will be for Michigan, use the "Listings by City"
and add it if it is not already available.
- If your Listing will be for another state, you will probably want
to ignore the "Listings by City" and use the "Listings by
State" when you submit your Listing. You will need to use the "suggest a
State/Province" when you add your Listing.
- If your Listings are for a certain type and sub-type, you will probably
want to review the "Listings by Type" page to determine the
best placement for your Listing,
as well as the reference to "suggest a type/subtype" if necessary to
provide a type.
- Bodybuilders, and other non-organizational and non-business
Listings, should use the "Personal" type.
Please note that the ONLY selections available to visitors using the
Directory are the
Type, Sub-Type, and State/Province fields, which are suggested by you if
they are not already present.
