Web Badges

You're writing a novel in a month! That means you have some serious bragging rights. And what better way to brag than by posting one of these 2009 web badges on your blog, Facebook or MySpace profile, or on your website!

There are many ways to get this image on your blog or social networking page. The first thing to do is save the image to your desktop. PC users can do this by right-clicking on the image to "Save Image As," and Mac users can just hold down the mouse button over the image.

Once you do this you can use the image upload features on your blog or networking site to post your badge!

If you have your own website, here are some complicated instructions for uploading the badge. We figure that if you've built a website, the following will make more sense to you that it does to us: once you've downloaded the file and put it somewhere on your webserver (if you don't have your own webspace, you can use a free image uploading site like Photobucket), you can use HTML such as the following to make them point to interesting places:

This HTML example will only work if you replace with the path and filename of the downloaded icon file as it appears on your webspace. If you saved the image to a different directory on your webserver, you'll have to modify the HTML to point to the correct location.

You can link back to us (as the example code does), your Flash author profile, or your uncle's haberdashery—just replace the http://ywp.nanowrimo.org in the example with the address of the site you'd prefer. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Happy bragging!
