Web Badges are great to spread the word. Anyone with a website or blog can post a web badge for you that not only delivers a message, it can also link to your donor drive website or blog.
A Web Badge can be a photo or illustration. It should have some copy to let people know what it is for. Below are samples of badges I created for my cousin Tami after her diagnosis. I then asked everyone I knew to please post the badges on their websites and blogs for me.
1. You will need to create the graphic.
2. To store it you'll need to
upload it online to your server if you have a website or to a photo sharing site like Flickr or Photobucket.
3.
Create the following HTML code and make it available so that others can paste it into their sites for you.
Sample of Actual Code:
<a href="http://helpingtami.org" target="_blank"><img src="" alt="Bone Marrow Drive" /></a>
