“Grab My Button” thingy.

I have to share this with all my fellow technically-challenged blogger friends. You know that really cool thing you see on some blogs…the little mysterious box with the scrolly that holds the code that allows reader to just copy/paste your button onto their site? Well, I really don’t know what its called either. But I found a fellow blogger who spilled the goods about how to make one and better yet…(alas, some of us are code-illiterate) she made it so we could just copy/paste the code into our widgets or posts!

So kudos to All About Kimberly for making it so simple to have something so cool on our blog too! There are a couple different ways this trick pans out. I prefer putting the code into the text widget of my sidebar. You can also put it on a post or page and it seems to look different when you do it. But its your choice either way. I like the scrolly box myself.

Thank you a hundred times over, Kimberly! Now go check out Kimberly’s blog for the details

Cheers,

Tracy

Ps- Okay, just realized that my quotation marks in the code needed changed. So if you grabbed my button before I fixed it, you might need to go in and change the quote marks (replace all the curvy ones w/ the straight up and down ones)… don’t ask…I don’t know.  I just used the keys on my keyboard and did the obvious and it worked. Now my link is up. The image was fine otherwise but the link wasn’t right. Now I see what Kimberly was talking about when she mentioned it in her “how to”.
