Want to include one of these "buttons" on your blog/website, with a link back to the SCN site? See the instructions below the buttons.
If you're using WordPress (self-hosted or on WordPress.com), you can add the button and link in a sidebar widget.
- Upload the blog button and note the URL of the uploaded image.
Wordpress instructions:
- In your DASHBOARD, select MEDIA in the left column.
- Then select ADD NEW in the menu that drops down under Media.
- Select the SELECT FILES button in the "Upload New Media" screen.
- Navigate to the place on your computer hard drive where you have the button image file.
- Highlight that file then click on the SELECT button. The image will upload and you can show or hide its information.
- In the slot next to the words "File URL" you sill see the location of your uploaded file. Highlight that and go to EDIT>>COPY.
[ex. http://katherinemisegades.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/blogbutton.gif -- yours will say something similar only with your blog name and date.]
- Paste that File URL in a text document so you can use it later.
- Click on the Design tab and click on the Widgets menu item.
- Add a Text widget.
If you're using Wordpress, create a side bar text widget:
- In your DASHBOARD, select APPEARANCE in the left column.
- Select WIDGETS from the drop-down menu
- Drag and drop a TEXT widget into the Sidebar. You can change its position up and down in the sidebar.
- Select the wee arrow on the right to open the text widget
- Paste the following into the body of the widget then replace the image source (shown in green here) to the one you copied in STEP 1 (we've left the TITLE empty):
|
<p style="text-align:center;"> <a href="http://www.storycircle.org"> <img src="http://katherinemisegades.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/blogbutton.gif"> </a> </p>
|
- Select SAVE and close the TEXT widget box.
- Check your blog to see if it worked.
If you're using Blogger or Blogspot, add a Page Element to your sidebar.
- Click on your blog's Layout tab.
- Click on the Add a Page Element link above the sidebar elements.
- Select the Picture element by clicking on the Add to Blog button next to it.
- Upload the image you saved to your computer and enter the link to SCN blog.
- Click Save on the Configure Image window.
- Click Save on the Add and Arrange Page Elements section to save your changes.
- You're done! View your blog to see your button. Note: if you click on Preview before saving your changes, the link won't be active yet.
