Links Using Thumbnails

For purposes of promotion you may use the thumbnail images from this site on your own pages to link to panorama pages on Virtual Guidebooks. Always make it clear that the panorama is actually on the site "Don Bain's Virtual Guidebooks" and clearly state "Copyright G. Donald Bain / Bain Digital Graphics". If you want to make more than about ten such links to my site please contact me first.

Here is an example of a small table linking to a panorama. It uses both a thumbnail image and text links for fullscreen and standard size versions. Clicking on the picture opens the fullscreen version.

The example is followed by the html code. The url's are absolute, this code can be used on any web site.
