Busy Bookworm Challenge Button Now Available!


Woo! I've made my very first blog button! It's the new "official" Busy Bookworm Challenge button and you can get your very own.  If you'll look to the column on your right you will see how you can copy and paste the code below the button and add it to your own blog! How fun is that?

Speaking of the Busy Bookworm Challenge, how's everyone progressing? I've been seeing a lot of book reviews on many of your blogs lately! I'm steadily making my way through my list. Right now I'm starting on The Kite Runner. I've heard so many good things about the book that I just couldn't wait any longer.

Can't wait to read more of your reviews! And don't forget to grab my new button and pass it along to all of your book loving friends!

Happy reading!

Kite runner is good. Its a little disturbing just try to get through those parts. My mom couldn't do it and gave up on the book. I am going to watch the movie this weekend, I hope its good.

I LOVED Kite Runner. They did a good job with the movie too. Definitely see it after you read the book. I'm trucking along for the challenge - seems to be going well and I do believe I will finish. Although, if I get many more crazy weeks like this one it may be a mad scramble at the finish (which at least gives me a backup NYE plan if I don't have a date).

The Kite Runner is brilliant! I'm going quite well with my challenge, its great to have a focus when I go to bookstores and the library. Usually I just wander around aimlessly, now I have my list in hand! I love the button, but I'm really bad at HTML so I have no idea how to add it. Perhaps you could give a run-down as a post? Happy Reading!

Kite Runner is one of my favorite books. Very emotional, but amazing. I still think about it a year later.

I tried to put the button in one of my sidebars but it ended up being really huge and it didn't fit the whole image. Is there something I can do to fix that? Thanks!

Jenna, I will be sure to check out your other challenge!

Miss E, try this: go to your Blogger dashboard and click on Layout. In the Page Elements tab you should see a layout of all the elements of your blog. Where your sidebars appear, there should be a link that says "Add A Gadget." Click on that and then choose the "HTML/Java Script" link. In the content box enter the text for my button's code (cut and paste what's in the code box). Hit the save button. That should do the trick but let me know if you have any difficulties. I am not a code pro by any means, but that's how I did it and it worked!

Becky, I am not sure how to fix that. You may have to go into the code and manually change the size of the image. Did you add the button like I outlined above? If not, try that and see if it helps. Sorry I can't be of more help to you!

Becky said...

Yeah, I pasted the code and it showed up, it was just huge. What part of the code exactly is the size? If you can tell me that I'll play with it tonight and adjust the size. Thanks for your help - and once I get the button good to go, look for a post about your challenge soon! :)

CJR said...

Becky, I wish I could give you an answer but I'm a beginner at code and really am not sure how to make it smaller! I am sorry! If I figure it out I will definitely let you know.

Becky said...

Thanks! I'll play around with it and we'll go from there!
