Frequently Asked Questions


Now that 2.7 has launched, we are working to finalize a new Support site. If you can't find what you are looking for in the new Support site, come back to faq.wordpress.com.

Badges

To add badges to your sidebar you need to use a text widget.

The syntax is this:
<a href=”http://faq.wordpress.com/wp-admin/the-site-to-link-to”><img src=”http://faq.wordpress.com/wp-admin/where-the-badge-is” /></a>

For example to create an RSS badge that links to this blog’s feed, the text widget will have this in it:
<a href=”http://faq.wordpress.com/feed”><img src=”http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/07/button_rss.gif” alt=”RSS” /></a>

and that would look like this:
RSS

Or if you wanted to link to Digg:
<a href=”http://digg.com”><img src=”http://faq.files.wordpress.com/2006/07/digg.gif” alt=”Digg” /></a>

which would look like this:
Digg

Badge Resources
http://gtmcknight.com/buttons over 3700 badges. You cannot link directly to them.

Badges

You can link directly to these badges if you have a wordpress.com blog. If you think a badge is missing, send it to Support for uploading here.
Copy the badge URL for use in your sidebar.
You can of course use your own images.
