So what does "Sextantizing" a link entail, exactly?
- Putting our javascript block into your page's <HEAD>...</HEAD>.
- Pasting the call <SCRIPT>sx_graphlink()<SCRIPT> into your <BODY>...</BODY> after the links in question (ie.
<a href = "http://www.acme.com/rocket_sandals.html">Rocket Sandals!</a><SCRIPT>sx_graphlink()<SCRIPT> ).
And what do I get out of it?
- A bargraph, on your page, that will graphically show how many clickthroughs your link has gotten. As for its size, colors, and maximum count, that's all up to you.
- That bargraph will also be a link to a discussion forum / clickthrough statistics page that is hosted on our server, but formatted according to your template file. (Check our weblog to get a taste of what this can look like.)
You don't need a weblog to use Sextant discussion forums. Now you can create and link to a forum with any subject with one little javascript call. Discussion forums for the masses! Yes!
