Due to a number of questions on our Blog, Facebook and twitter this week we have put together some instructions for how to add both facebook and twitter badges to your website. This can been done in two different ways: The first Option uses the images extra in the website builder, and the second uses the HTML extra that comes with the Advanced Design Tools upgrade. See which one best suits your needs. Option 1: Using Images and Links Step 1: Save the image you want to use into a folder on your computer.  Step 2: Log into the Website Builder and click on Images at the top of the toolbar under “Insert” tools. Step 3: Once the image up loader pops up, click on browse to add the image from your files. Step 4: When you see the image loaded into the Website Builder, “Right Click” on the image and you will see “Link” as the top option on the menu. Click on the “Link” option. Step 5: Grab the URL (website address) you want to link the image too. Do this by going to the respective page (Facebook or Twitter) and copying the URL. Step 6: Go back into the website builder and select the option “Link to another page on the web” and paste or type the URL into the text box and click ok. Option 2: Pasting HTML Step 1: Log in to your Facebook and twitter accounts to get the badge HTML code. Facebook FB 1: Log into your account and open up your business Facebook page. FB 2: Click on Edit Page and on the lower right side of the page click on the link “Get your Badge” or click here to go straight to the Facebook Badges page.
