Technorati favorite blogs: add a badge to share your favorites

Deutsch | Español | Français | Italiano | Português | 日本語 | 한국어 | 简体中文

In my previous post I suggested that, following the introduction of Technorati's new favorites feature, you could share your favorite blogs on Technorati by adding a button or badge (or just text if you prefer) to your blog template or website, which people can click to go to your Technorati faves page.

Here's how to add a button or badge, in more detail for the benefit of beginners to blogging. You can see the badge that I created at the very bottom of my sidebar (you have to scroll down a bit to get there), it looks like this -

Just copy and paste the following code into your blog or sidebar wherever you want the badge to appear, changing
YourTechnoratiUserName to your Technorati username (and if you want the link to open in the same browser window just delete target="_blank" and the space just before it):

<a href="http://technorati.com/faves/YourTechnoratiUserName" target="_blank"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2472/807/1600/mytechnorati.png" title="My Technorati Favorite Blogs page" /></a>

It's just a link attached to an image file, which is the button. The image file is one I made earlier - feel free to download it and upload it to any host you like if you don't want to link to where it is (though as it's on Blogspot it should hopefully be reliable).
