The Infinite Button Link Grid Project creates a growing multilevel grid of
button links. Sizes can range from 1 pixel high by 1 pixel wide to a maximum size that may never be determined or constant. An active cell as small as 1x1 pixel square can be seen if it contrasts with the background which is black on this site. The outline for an empty cell appears at 10x10 pixels square. A pixel for the inactive graphic of an empty cell appears in a 15x15 pixels square. The full graphic for an empty cell appears to exist before size 30x30 pixels square. The smallest sizes and very large sizes may not be practical to use. Each graphic is called from the site that the link
points to making down sites obvious to visitors. The graphic file should be copied and named tk.gif at the source site for ease of coding at
this site and recognition of its intended use at the source site which is a preference, not a requirement. This structure allows changing graphics at the source
site. The graphic can be animated but load times for a wider audience should
be considered. (Submissions must not include (by wording of the site provider for site creators) "pornography, hate, Warez, MP3, gambling, spamming, or any illegal activity including emails, banners, and websites"). Graphics are sized by the code that sizes the cell the link and graphic reside in. The graphic can be any size at the source but appearance will depend on the demensions of the cell it is to fit into so matching pixel sizes one for one is best. The cell demensions (rows and columns) for each grid level will be determined by load speeds, appearance,
and ease of use on various computers. There is no limit to the possible number of grid levels that will exist. Production will be a function of level of response and
resources available. All grid positions and levels are considered equal access. Grid positions should be considered fixed but some movement may occur as linked to sites cease to exist, technology changes and size popularity influences level creation. Multiple grid positions may be aquired. Creating a mosaic is possible but placing a larger graphic in a right sized cell is better if the links are the same. Multiple graphics can be called from the same site by using a naming structure where numerics are placed after tk in tk.gif such as tk1.gif. Other graphic formats other than .gif like .jpg can be used. Links will be placed in the order received in .html files with names like XXg1, XXg2, ect., according to the pixel demensions of the cell required where X, XX, XXX, XXXX, ect., is the maximum pixel height of the cells in that file. The templates show empty squares but the width and/or height of each cell will be changed as needed. Button grid placements may be obtained with a one time contribution of ((number of pixels wide + number of pixels high)/2)x($1). Pricing is based on cell dimensions, not number of pixels in a cell. Examples: (10 by 10 = $10), (10 by 20 = $15), (20 by 10 = $15), (16 by 16 = $16), (16 by 32 = $24), (20 by 20 = $20), (30 by 30 = $30), (40 by 40 = $40), (10 by 50 = $30), (50 by 10 = $30), (50 by 50 = $50), so the per pixel cost depends on how large and how square the cell is. Compare this to the pixel price on other sites with long domain names (www.milliondollarhomepage.com), limited site and file size, and no way to change the graphic after it is stored on that site.
Payment is to be made by paper check (personal, business, cashier's, ect.) money order, cash or from a PalPal account (instructions are farther below) together with a printed copy of the URL address to be edited into a cell at this site (that will link to a site and call a graphic (tk.gif) stored at that site) with the cell demensions (pixel height and pixel width) requested and the graphic file name to be used and any short pop up message(s) to be included. Cash should be no larger than $1 bills because the security strips in larger bills make them detectable. A security envelope or extra paper should be used to hide the contents. Free animated graphics can be generated and downloaded at www.ajaxload.info if needed. No planned time limits exist for how long this grid will last. Multiple site paths and backup files exist for any problem control. If one path is blocked, the site can still be accessed through another path. The URLs may not constitute domain names but a link is only one click long.
Contributions help ensure that all participation is serious, genuine, and conforming to the site provider's rules and this project can continue. The payment methods ensure everyone can participate.

or if paying by PayPal:
If you’re not already a PayPal user, sign up at www.paypal.com. It doesn’t cost anything.
Set up your FREE personal PayPal account. It's extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and paste this URL to the address bar - https://www.paypal.com (Notice the secure "https" within the link).
The personal account does not take any fees out of received payments
funded by PayPal Balance, PayPal Instant Transfer or PayPal eCheck so this is
the type of account everyone should choose and these are the payment methods
that should be used so everyone collects 100% of each payment. Personal
accounts can only receive payments funded by Credit Card, Debit Card or Buyer
Credit at the rate of 5/year and the fees are too high for $1.00 payments to be worth much so do not use these methods of payment. Information collected to create a personal account may include a bank account or card information for verification but is not required.
IMMEDIATELY go to "Send Money".
Review the Paypal demo on
how to send money by clicking the "See Demo" button over the form. The demo
for "I’m already a PayPal user." is the model to follow, not "I’m a new user."
because these payments all go to a personal account so credit cards are not to
be used except to place money in your own account. Place enough money into your PayPal sccount.
Enter the following into the form:
"To:" tardiskeep.tk@gmail.com
"Amount:" (enter the total amount)
"Currency:" USD - U.S. Dollars (Always send the money in "USD - U.S. Dollars".)
"For:" Service/Other
(Click "Continue")
"Message To Rcipient: Subject" Add my button link(s) to the grid.
"Message To Rcipient: Message" (Enter all the required information for each button link and any short pop up message(s) to be included.)
This is all done on the Paypal site. There is no need to
send an email directly to the listed address.
Monthly limits on a personal PayPal account:
For security reasons, there are initial limits on the amount of money one can
send, receive, and withdraw from a personal PayPal account. It’s easy to
lift these limits – simply verify bank account or card information.
Receiving limits apply only to the following payment types: eBay Items, Auction
Goods (non-eBay), and other Goods. No other payment types affect the receiving
limit.
To sign up for a FREE Premier or Business account one MUST make sure to get
confirmed and VERIFIED first, before one can start to receive credit card
payments. This process can take up to 2-3 business days to complete GETTING
VERIFIED which would be a waste of time for this program. All methods to
receive payments in these accounts would take about 1/3 of a $1.00 payment
so the personal account is much better for this program. One can always
upgrade later if needed.
