The graphics/text banners below highlight the importance of celebrating the Annunciation -- each focused on a particular aspect.  The top two feature simple graphics representing the events of the Annunciation/Incarnation -- the first calls us to give thanks and celebrate, the second also notes the date's selection as Day of the Unborn Child.  The third banner promotes "9 Months For Life" encouraging spiritual adoption prayer during the interval between the feasts.  The fourth is in the style of a teacher's chalk pastel blackboard greeting.  The fifth promotes the DayOfTheUnbornChild.com website with a summary of its content.  The last two are multi-seasonal.  One stresses the importance of the Annunciation's relationship to Christmas and points out the true meaning of Happy "Holidays" in the link between these two "HolyDays."  Another covers the Christmas/New Year/Annunciation connection. 

Scroll down to view the graphics and read more on promoting the feast with banners with general instructions and e-mail "signature" directions including Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook, AOL, Doteasy, plus tips on using the banner in websites, blogs and message boards.  NOTE:  All banners can be printed as mailing seals/stickers, note-cards/postcards, and small placard and tabletop tent signs (simply follow the directions under each image) -- the banner top fold cards also double as tent cards for banquet and information tables.  You can also download an image to use in home publishing/word processing programs -- just right click the image and select "Save picture as" or "Save target as" and select a location to save it.   (For printable note/post card versions of our carnation flower e-cards click HERE.)  (Signs that are text-only featuring the history of the feast and large print "Prayer to Christ Unborn" with instructions on constructing a tent sign are available on our prayer page.)

The "What" and "Why" of Web Banners

 

Basically, a banner is an image with text and/or graphics that attracts attention far more than plain text alone.  A web banner can be used in blogs, your personal websites, or in e-mail "signatures" so it will be included at the bottom of everything you send out.  Banners in e-mail are particularly effective as they have the potential to "travel" via forwards.  The banner image can be saved/downloaded as a picture to be used in e-mails and websites as with photos, but usually it is linked to the homepage of a website that provides more information.  This hyperlinked (clickable) "banner" is created either directly with an HTML code that links the banner image to the website, or by downloading and inserting the image and then linking it to the website.  The codes on this page offer both a linked and non-linked option.  (The codes include the URL location/filename of the banner graphic, the desired size/proportion of the banner, and the linked option also includes the homepage URL for the link.)

 

---

Back To Top

Using the Banner in your E-mails, Website, and Blogging:

 

An unlinked banner can be inserted with an html code, or by right-clicking the banner image to save/download it as a picture and then using it as you would a photo.  A linked banner can be created in two ways -- by directly inserting the HTML code, or by inserting just the banner image and then linking it to the desired homepage in a separate step by adding/inserting a hyperlink.  Website software allows both methods.  A blog or e-mail signature may only have one option, and some may only allow insertion of an unlinked picture/graphic you have previously saved.  If your program allows only the unlinked image, you can type the full text of the website address below the picture once inserted -- http://dayoftheunbornchild.com -- most programs (even those that only allow plain-text signatures) will automatically link the text of a complete web address.

Adding Banners to E-mail Signatures -- General Instructions: 

 

If you add a banner as a "signature" in your settings options the banner will appear in every e-mail you compose (you may also be able to specify that it be included in forwards and replies).  For most e-mail software/programs a signature is created/added by changing your "settings" or "options" and then choosing the "compose" and/or "personal e-mail signature" option.  Then, select Mode/Format, turn on HTML mode and paste in the code to create the banner (as in Hotmail instructions below), or for Rich Text mode, right-click the banner image at the top of this page to copy, and then paste it in your e-mail signature settings window (see Yahoo instructions for example).  Note:  In some e-mail services, the HTML on/off toggle option may be under the less-than/more-than brackets < >.

 

If your e-mail signature won't accept these methods, you may be able to use the banner in your signature as an unlinked image (as with a photo), or insert the image and link it separately.  In this case you will right click the banner image on this page and save the picture to your computer, and then place the image in the signature window with the insert "picture" or "file" option.  If you used "insert picture" you may be able to hyperlink it in a separate step by clicking the image in the signature box and then clicking the link option to add our website address.  If there is no link option, you can always add the website address -- http://dayoftheunbornchild.com -- under the banner image as a line of text.  (Nearly all e-mail programs will automatically hyperlink a typed website address -- this will work even in signatures that allow plain text only.) 

 

Note:  For an alternate method to use the banner in e-mail programs that only allow plain text signatures, please see the Gmail instructions.

Add Our Banner to Your Website:

 

If you are comfortable editing your website in HTML mode, simply switch to HTML mode and insert the code in the body of your web page where you want it to appear.  Save your HTML changes and check the banner's positioning -- you may want to select the banner and add a centering command or adjust its size/position.  Upload your page and then visit your site to see if the banner/link is visible and working and is placed where you want it.

 

If you don't want to work directly in HTML, you can add the banner to your webpage as follows: 

 

While connected to the Internet, right click the image at the top of this page to download/save it -- for location choose the folder where you keep the files for your website.  Then open your webpage file with the program you use to edit it, and insert this picture/image file where you want it to appear.  Once inserted, right-click the image to add a hyperlink -- http://dayoftheunbornchild.com -- then save your page, and upload both your edited webpage and the image file you saved.

Using a Banner in Blogs, Forums and Message Boards:

 

Many blogs, on-line forums and message boards allow insertion of a graphic image or HTML code in posts -- some may allow you to include it in a personal "signature" so it will appear in all your posts.  However, if you are posting in someone else's blog or board, this may require special permission from the administrator.  If you are unsure of a particular forum's rules regarding posts that include graphics or HTML banners, please read the terms/guidelines for that blog/board or contact the administrator.  If the blog only prohibits linked banners, use the code for an un-linked banner, or use the instructions for downloading/saving the banner image and inserting it as a picture.

Just send an E-mail to Mar25Dec25ecard@DayOfTheUnbornChild.com to have our dual-season e-card (scroll down to view) sent straight to your inbox to forward to one or more of your e-mail contacts for the Annunciation in March or use it as your e-mail Christmas card to friends and family.

 

(Note:  Your e-card should be received within a few days -- if not, make sure your e-mail filter is not catching it in the spam or junk folder, and adjust your safe sender, or whitelist to receive e-mails from the domain dayoftheunbornchild.com -- then try again.)

 

After you receive it, if you can't see the image you may see a prompting to display images from this address -- choose "always display" option if available. 

 

When you click "forward" you may want to delete the "FW" subject and type your own -- you can also delete the header in the body of the e-mail and type your own greeting (this will personalize the card and make it look less like a forward).

 

Keep the e-mail in your inbox or move to a special e-mail folder to forward again for the next Christmas or Annunciation greeting.  If you keep it in your inbox, your e-mail program may allow you to flag or mark it to keep it on top for future use.

Our Dual-Season E-card Links the Annunciation to Christmas as "Happy HolyDays" (with an added reminder of the greeting's real meaning).  The design encompasses both spring and winter.  Gold, bells, candles, ribbons and a table set with crystal are festive for any occasion.  The holly and glistening tree trimmings evoke Christmas, while pink buds and a red-breasted bird hint at the springtime feast of the Annunciation.
