Military Quotes

As the excited passions of hostile people are of themselves a powerful enemy, both the general and his government should use their best efforts to allay them.

-- Lieutenant General Antoine

Promote your web site

You may be interested in the remote 'Rate a web site' options we have available. These allow you to place an image (or even a rating form) on your web site, in order to increase the number of votes your web site receives. Please choose from one of the options listed below:
1) Text link
One way to link to the rating form is through a simple text link:

The HTML code you should use in this case is the following:

<a href="http://www.patriotfiles.com/index.php?name=Web_Links&req=ratelink&lid=357">Rate this resource</a>

The number "357" in the HTML source is your site's ID number in The Patriot Files's database. Please make sure that this number is present.
2) Button link
If you'd like to use something more than a basic text link, you may wish to use a small button link:
The source code for the above button is:

<form action="http://www.patriotfiles.com/index.php?name=Web_Links" method="post">
<div>   <input type="hidden" name="lid" value="357" />
  <input type="hidden" name="req" value="ratelink" />
  <input type="submit" value="Rate this web site!" />
</form> </div>

3) Remote rating form
If you attempt to manipulate the ratings, your link will be removed. Here is what the current remote rating form looks like.
Vote for this site!

Using this form will allow users to rate your resource directly from your site, with the rating being recorded here. The above form is disabled (it is just shown for your information), but the following source code will work if you simply copy and paste it into your web page:
<form method="post" action="http://www.patriotfiles.com/index.php?name=Web_Links"><div>
<table align="center" border="0" width="175" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td align="center"><b>Vote for this site!</b></a></td></tr>
<tr><td>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr><td valign="top">
<select name="rating">
<option selected>--</option>
<option>10</option>
<option>9</option>
<option>8</option>
<option>7</option>
<option>6</option>
<option>5</option>
<option>4</option>
<option>3</option>
<option>2</option>
<option>1</option>
</select>
</td><td valign="top">
<input type="hidden" name="ratinglid" value="357" />
<input type="hidden" name="ratinguser" value="outside" />
<input type="hidden" name="req" value="addrating" />
<input type="submit" value="Vote!" />
</td></tr></table>
</td></tr></table>
</div> </form>

Thanks, and good luck with your ratings!
