Hello Flutherites!
We have good news. We’ve just built a new way for you show your Fluther Lurve on your own website: the Lurve Badge! This is what it looks like:
And to kick off the launching the Lurve Badge, we’ve decided to have a little contest. Oh, what fun!
Here’s what we’re giving away:
Here’s how to enter:
UPDATE: Check out this great tumblr how-to screencast from JohnPowell. http://www.pillowpersuasion.com/fluther/vids/wid.mov
Oooh…oooh, giant eyeball, here I come. Seriously though, I’ve been meaning to start my own blog for about a million years, maybe this will give me an excuse.
Hmmm, I don’t have room for a zebra, I barely have room in this office for my computer and my Hissers.
Should everyone notify you here if they’ve put up badges on their web sites? Or will you simply monitor the HTTP Referer request-header for traffic direct to Fluther user profile pages?
I am working on tumblr but without luck. It pastes in as code but is not converting. Maybe I should switch blog sites.
@robmandu We are tracking the requests, so no need to notify us (and we already saw you are the first user to install your Lurve Badge on your blog. Looks great!).
@Dog So far, I’ve seen success in tumblr, so I wouldn’t switch blog sites. Would you like more detailed instructions on how to paste the code in?
The simplest way is something like:
– Customize –> Info –> Description.. and paste the code there. Is that useful? Let me know if you want more specific help.
Ickk. I’m confused. xD
I can’t figure out how to put the badge on my site (tumblr) /and/ I don’t know how to do the whatever whatchamacallit so that you know that I have it up there. Dx
I can has halp? 🙁
I fear if I win, I’ll be sent a baby. No thank you, I already have one of the way. 😉
I’ll get to installing it on my journal today 🙂
hmm, so I tried putting it in my livejournal, and no badge came up, just “my profile on fluther” is that normal?
So…if I win…I’ll get homemade chocolate chip cookies?!?
Holy sweet pickles! Tumblr here I come.
(I thought of putting it on my graphic design site, but it seems inappropriate)
Success!
Many thanks to Robmandu for his help.
Now I am realizing that Tumblr is a cool site after all- I pretty much gave up on it last year.
I’m having the same problems as Casheroo. =[
Help! (please? with sugar on top…)
I tried pasting mine into my update on facebook, it didn’t work 🙁 I wonder where else I can try it? Will it work on myspace??
It works on blogger blogs- just add an html widget and paste the code.
Tried posting it on Last.fm but all that comes out is the website in blue and the while code is revealed. So I have the same problem as dear Casheroo and Hambayuti
I’m going to do this. On both of my blogs. But I don’t believe for one second that any prizes will go out. I’m *still* waiting for my guacamole.
Oh! Is that the top secret prize??? SOMEONE ACTUALLY GETS THE GUAC??
Done and Done!
I’m going to try it on Blogspot, my new blog… my friend and I are co-writing it. 😀
I made a little video for how to do it on tumblr.
It works perfectly in Blogger, but as Casheroo et. al. have found, it doesn’t seem to like being in my livejournal profile.
Also I’ve just realized that ‘dalepetrie’ is Dale Petrie! All this while I’ve been pronouncing it “dah-LEH-peh-tree.” Like a french word, perhaps. Very elegant my way, albeit hilariously different than the real thing. 😀
Thanks @JP, you’re a rockstar.
@sakura, unfortunately, it probably won’t work on Facebook (until we make something that does).
@Casheroo (Congrats), @Mangeons, @Hambayuti: See the awesome how-to vid by JP.
any way to add this to facebook, in the sidebar? that’s really the only bloggish type thing i use.
uhm, i’m a frigging retard. didn’t see the above comment. nevermind.
I have a blog on multiply: http://yarnladyisback.multiply.com/
but I can’t see anything about putting badges on it. Please help.
I just started a blog yesterday! What a coincidence 🙂 I’ll be sure to add a badge soon!
hmmm, his video showed it on tumblr, but not livejournal. I don’t even know what tumblr is *hides in shame*
Yeah. My intent was only for Tumblr.
I tried this blog also, and I still can’t see where to put it:
http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/members/yarnladyisback/
I also tried on my Newsvine account:
http://yarnlady.newsvine.com/
I cannot find anyplace on any of my blogs to paste the code.
My user name is too long to display properly on my badge.
Can a heretic get some text wrap?
Per my comment above dated July 22nd at 8:27 pm why does it say: “YARNLADY Says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.” What does that mean?
Works like a charm! http://ru2bz46.tumblr.com/
Now, I need something to say on a blog…
Sadly, I checked the video and found I have different settings on how to place widgets on my blog. Sigh. Oh, well…”My profile on Fluther” is better than nothing (for the meantime) =P
Can non-US residents also enter. If not, I’ll still put the badge up, it’s awesome!
I attempted to add multiple ones on the same blog (wordpress) and got some interesting results. Me and Allie and PnL have killed the blog but I wanted to try.

http://imgur.com/DCNaN.png <– The result
I don’t expect this to get fixed. It is a total “edge” case. But I thought I would let you know.
Hopefully it’s open for us non-US residents , regardless the deed has been done 🙂
@ben I found what you wrote to be of more use “The simplest way is something like:
– Customize –> Info –> Description.. and paste the code there.”
Thanks for that as i would never of got it working .
Done!! Now I can show off all my lurve 🙂
Hmm… Snazzy! Looking forward to the results of this competition!
It works fine on Blogger. 😉
No dice.
I’m still waiting on my goddamned guacamole I was promised.
* spits *
I updated the video a bit. Now it has fancy special effects. But it should be a bit easier to see what is going on.
Uuuumm yeah I’m not really into blogging and what have you. Can I just print mine out and tape it to my forehead? No? Booo!
It’s on my tumblr chelseababyy.tumblr.com 😀
I’m getting the same results on Blogger as I am on livejournal (i.e. it just has a link saying ‘My Fluther Profile’… Can anyone explain to me how to add the widget?
does this mean that you guys already know that I have it on my tumblr?
@Cynthia hugs :: Yes they know. It calls the servers on Fluther so they can see that you have it installed.
I have mine up at deriot.blogspot.com 😀
I just don’t get how you guys know, so I thought I’d post it here. xD
I have an RSS feed to Fluther if that’s what it is. 😉
I have tried and failed to do the cut and paste thing on all three of the blogs I belong to, but I have placed a blog post about it on my main blog, and a news article on Newsvine.com. Please enter my name in the contest, since your “java script” is not acceptable on my sites.
Milo here; I am keeping an elegant journal on parchment and am using a quill pen and making my own ink from wasp bolls. Does that count?
Gail here; Milo asked me to pass this on.

Oh, yeah, and I posted the Fluther Sticker I received on my refrigerator, so that should count for something.
I tried to paste it into my flickr profile but it only came out as a text link…
I hope the next contest will be geared to everyone, and not just the ones who have a compatable blog site. I posted a fluther blog on three of my websites, even though they wouldn’t take the badge thingy.
tres sweet.
wait – does this mean if i win i get a banana?
