Instructions and Requirements for Listing in the Michigan Bodybuilding Directory

Visitor Features:

  • Form for visitors to submit a business or personal listing.  The business or personal listing goes directly into the database, but will not display until the web administrator verifies and approves the listing.
  • Options for visitors to search listings by Type and Sub-Type, By State, and-or by City. The categories are those you choose to place your listing or to look to find a listing.
  • Form for visitors to suggest or request a new Type, Sub-Type and-or a State or Province.  The request you make is stored in the database until approved or deleted by the web administrator.  When approved, the new additions automatically display on the web pages.
  • Your free listing will be for one year and must be re-submitted at the end of that year.

Banner Features:

  • The banners, to the right of the pages, are to be used to display your business. They may be linked, as you choose, to your own website or advertisement.
  • Note that each banner is one half of the size of the standard sized banner. You may submit your banner or have one made. The banners must be 234 by 60 pixels.
  • The banner display is for a one month period, and requires a five dollar placement fee. The webmaster address for the banner display is oaktreemail@yahoo.com.

System Requirements

Your advertisement will be installed on a hosting service providing:

  • FrontPage Extensions
  • ASP Support
  • Access Database Support

This is a FrontPage template.  In order to use this template at its best, you should have Microsoft's FrontPage 2000, 2002 or 2003 installed on your computer on which you prepare your advertisement. You may submit your final copy to oaktreemail@yahoo.com  for publishing.

Getting Started

Plan your advertisement and Listing to optimize your goals. Design and construct your advertisement in its final digital form. Submit the digital advertisement with payment and instructions. To place your free Listing, an advertisement or payment does NOT need to be included with the free Listing, go to the menu at the top of the page and open "Submit a Listing".

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.
