actually, I think it was that after the url you need to close the tab Confused

so "url"/> not "url">

hope that makes sense to someone Shocked

That made sense to me, terri, and I thought yes the

<img src="URL">

tag should be closed and should be

<img src="URL"/>

but when I tried it on my blog it gave me an error.

I don't know why that should be because it is perfectly correct HTML as far as I can see.

Anyway if anyone has trouble with that line then I guess the answer is to try both and see which works

Wow, that is all so technical! I would love to take a computer class that teaches how to do all this stuff. I'll have to look into it!

I'd love to join too, but I don't know if I have anything to say that anyone else would want to read! Embarassed

I don't have a digital camera either, so I couldn't post any pics. Crying or Very sad

I'll have to think about it and maybe after I get a camera, I'll join in. It does sound like fun! I have read a number of your blogs ladies, and they are really good! It's nice to be inspired by all of you and to get to know you all a little bit better. Keep blogging away! I look forward to reading what you're all up to next!

Have a great day everybody. Very Happy

It's going to be in the upper 80s here today and the Santa Ana winds are starting to pick up and it's only 6:55 a.m. I just pray we don't have any more fires. That's always a concern, especially when it's windy for some reason.

Wow Jacquie ~ I'm impressed! Where did you learn all that? I'd love to get a book or something that explains all this "language" stuff. What is it actually called? I'd love to be more knowlegable so I could be helpful too! Smile

Wow! Thank you SO much Jacquie. That's great advice. It must be really interesting to be a computer programmer. I'm afraid that's way over my head, but it sure seems interesting!

Thanks for the tips!

Fantastic idea having ablogring and I love the button. I've added the ring to my blog and it worked okay. Put it donw the bottom with other blog rings as it's too big for the side bar.

am I right in thinking we're supposed to put the url code for the button into the code for the blogring thing or is the button a separate thing? I couldn't work out how to add the button url into the html code, couldn't get it to work. So I put it all on separate. In my preview the button is on my blog but takes me back to this page. What am I doing wrong?

Any chance of step by step instructions for dummies please? I've read this whole post but still can't work it out.

I need to go soon, but later on I am going to try and work out how to get RingSurf (who host the blog rings) to give you the code with the button already in it - I know other rings do it OK.

Then it should be much easier to install, so please bear with me.

If I can't do that for some reason I will do the step by step thing.

I can't work out how to do the button all in one. You have to host your own copy of it anyway.

So here are more comprehensive directions for downloading, uploading and displaying the button on our blogring link.
