Techorati Badge

So, I finally progressed to adding my Technorati Badge to my blog. Yep, that's blog, singular as I'm kind of tired from a very long day. I'll do the rest of them tomorrow or some other day.

Mostly, I just wanted to see how hard it is to put in the html. Actually, with blogger, it wasn't hard at all.

Sum it up:

* Go to Blog

* Click in Customize

* Click Layout

* Click Edit HTML

Now, like I said, the hardest part is trying to figure out where you want to put it. Especially if you are as unfamiliar with html as I am.

First, grab the tag for the technorati badge that goes with your blog.

Steps?, you ask

* Enter your account on Technorati

* Click on your Claimed Blogs

* From here you can either go straight to the widget clicking, you guessed it, Widget or you can both edit your blog information and grab a small widget by clicking Edit Settings.

* Either way, grab the code. (I assume you know how to copy/paste, right?)

* Go back to blogger

* Post the code where you think you want it to go in your (I did a search for the word "follow" to find where blogger put the google friend connect.)

The beauty of working with blogger is that you can click "preview" before you make permanent changes to your blog. And if you made an oopsie, you can always just click "Clear Edits" and your blog instantly goes back to the way it was.

After you've found your ideal location, simply click "Save Template" and you're done.

After much sleepy struggling, I got the badge to show up on the bottom of this blog but I much prefer it on the side such as on my CrazyLazyMother Blog. Maybe I'll try to move it to the side after I get some sleep. Possibly not. Lol.

Hey, I'm not coining the phrase Crazy Lazy Mother for nothing!
