The Facebook Badge Widget

In my last post, I discussed using widgets as a way to direct readers to your articles.

The other day, I came across a Facebook badge widget, which looks great. I installed it at my writing blog over at Today.com.

If you would like to include the Facebook badge/widget on your blog or webpages, sign in to Facebook and go to your profile. Scroll down and look over on the left to where it says "Create a Profile Badge."

Click on that and when a new page comes up choose "Create a New Badge."

You now can choose from different options, such as including your profile picture and your URLs:


You can construct a Facebook badge/widget that points readers to your articles:



For fun, you could include a Facebook badge that shows your pictures.

You can choose either a horizontal or a verticle Facebook badge as seen here.

Once you have selected the options and previewed them, simply save and then grab the code to install your Facebook badge wherever desired.

As can be seen, the Facebook badge widget is a very neat tool.
