Im having trouble adding a stumbleupon button to the side panel using the text/html widget. The html im trying to use is..

&title=<?php the_title(); ?>”><img src=”http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/images/160x30_thumb_gray.gif”> Stumble it!

The button shows but there is random html around it and the button doesnt like to anywhere. If you go to my blog at http://amg7.wordpress.com you will see what i mean. The button is right at the top right of my blog. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the help,
Matthew

unfortunatly when i paste the html here in the forum it does show it all. I’m copy and pasting the html straight from http://www.stumbleupon.com/buttons.php

I managed to paste the html here.

<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php the_title(); ?>"><img src="http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/images/160x30_thumb_gray.gif"> Stumble it!</a>

Hope someone can help, thanks

I don’t believe the text widget can process php code. You will have to edit the php file directly as per their instruction or simply install one of the social media plugins such as Share This!. :)

You won’t actually be able to do either of those things on a WordPress.com blog.

Use Get Social:

Or these instructions:

Putting something like social bookmarking buttons in your sidebar will only allow people to add the ENTIRE site, not individual posts.

This is what I’ve added to my blog in a text widget:

‘ <img border=”0″ src=”http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/images/16x16_su_3d.gif” alt=””> Stumble It!‘

Obviously, as raincoaster says, this applies to the whole site. You’d need to add it manually to posts if that’s what you were looking for.

Let’s try that again:

<a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http//conversationaltheology.wordpress.com"> <img border="0" src="http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/images/16x16_su_3d.gif" alt=""> Stumble It!</a>

Or use the Get Social thingy, which is really cool. You can do a forum search for it.
