fly the flag

I don't know about you, but I'm from the camp that states every festival needs a flag. And since this here BLOGTOBER is clearly a "fest", it too is in need of a flag we can all fly in slapdancey pride and solidarity.

Behold!



Here's how you can use it too. Instructions below are how to get it in your blog's sidebar.

Option 1:

• Click on the image above, hold down your mouse button and drag and drop the image onto your desktop (or right click,"save to desktop")
  
• Then upload to your blog as you normally would
  

Option 2 (for those using Blogger):

• Click on the image above, hold down your mouse button and drag and drop the image onto your desktop (or right click,"save to desktop")
  
• Go to blogger, log in to your blogger account
  
• Click on the link that says "Layout"
  
• On your page somewhere there will be a link that says "Add a Gadget". Mine is at the top of my sidebar.
  
• The "Add a gadget" window will pop up
  
• Make sure inside your "Add a gadget" window, "basic" is selected in the left hand side bar
  
• Now scroll down the list until you see "Picture". Then select it.
  
• You'll see this window
  

• Add a "title". If you look in my sidebar you can see I chose "Playing" as mine. It doesn't matter what you choose, you can change it later.
  
• You don't really need a caption.
  
• In the Link box, enter Big Cat's URL, so it will link back to her site when people click on it. Remember to keep the http:// bit in there. The URL is: http://bigcatsemporium.blogspot.com
  
• Now to get the button image in there select "from your computer" and then click the Choose File button. Browse to find the file on your desktop called "BlogtoberfestButton.gif"
  
• Wait a moment for the image to appear. If it has worked it should look like this...
  

• Then Save. And you're done!
  

If you would like to simply add the image into your blog post, do this:

• In your blog post entry window enter the following code:
  

<a href="http://bigcatsemporium.blogspot.com/" title="Blogtoberfest 2008" target="_blank" ><img src="http://www.flossyparticles.com/images/BlogtoberfestButton.gif" alt="Blogtoberfest Button" /></a>

Hope if works. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll do my best to help out!


Well, that used up one daily post, phew, only 29 to go! :D

HOORAY!

_____________________________________________
EDIT: NEW COLOURS!!!!!

For those of you with black or different coloured blog backgrounds, I have made buttons especially for you to use. This means you won't get the jaggedy edges anymore.

So, here's what to do. Follow the steps above, but instead of dragging the white button to your desk top drag one of these...

Black:
Drag and drop this image to your desktop...


Or use this code...
<a href="http://bigcatsemporium.blogspot.com/" title="Blogtoberfest 2008" target="_blank" ><img src="http://www.flossyparticles.com/images/BlogtoberfestButton_Black.gif" alt="Blogtoberfest Button" /></a>


Grey (for mid-range colours; brown, pink etc):
Drag and drop this image to your desktop...


Or use this code...
<a href="http://bigcatsemporium.blogspot.com/" title="Blogtoberfest 2008" target="_blank" ><img src="http://www.flossyparticles.com/images/BlogtoberfestButton_Grey.gif" alt="Blogtoberfest Button" /></a>


Hope that helps :)
