I'm sorry if this has been addressed - the one thread that sort of dealt with my question was closed without resolving my issue. I have gone to my FB "create a profile badge" page and created a badge. I then saved it and copied the text in the box. then I pasted that text into a text widget on my sidebar, but when I go to my site - there's just the plain FB badge, not my profile. I recreated the badge on FB a couple of times, recopied and pasted, but it just added the badge. I know I read someone else's response regarding this, but I didn't understand what I really needed to do. Can someone give me the answer in complete-WP-Idiot language?
thx

Hi there,

I recently created a facebook page to promote my blog: http://www.thevlist.wordpress.com

I followed your instructions above and still can not figure out why I can not create a badge for the blog. Do you know if I have to have a personal facebook account or can you have a business one?

Thanks!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Raincoaster - you saved me. :)

This is the BADGE if you just want a generic facebook badge "FIND US ON FACEBOOK"...

You'll want to replace raincoasters' badge:
http://badge.facebook.com/badge/1389954304.520.496697011.png
with this link
http://b.static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/pages/find_us_on_facebook_badge.gif?8:81200

See my blog at:

to see what it looks like!

You could just put it in a text widget as a regular old-fashioned link. That's an option, but it won't give you the badge.

Thank you. We basically always need to see the blog in order to give you appropriate answers.

You can link to a Facebook page just the same as you would a profile or anything.

Raincoaster OfVancouver's Profile Create your badge

So, that's the code to link to my profile. What you want to do is get the code for a badge to YOUR profile, find the URL of the page you want to link to, and substitute that for the URL that is in there now: in my case, that URL in there now is http://en-gb.facebook.com/people/Raincoaster-OfVancouver/1389954304

Take out your Profile link and replace it with your Page link. You're going to be stuck with visuals that say Facebook Profile, unless you invent new buttons and upload them and put the URL of those images in the code instead of the URL of the Profile button image, the http://badge.facebook.com/badge/1389954304.520.496697011.png. And you change the text of "Raincoaster ofVancouver's Facebook Profile" to "whatever you want to call the page".

Long-winded, but it should work?

The site linked to your name is not a WordPress.com blog, and we won't be able to help with that.
