How to Create a Free WordPress Blog Badge
1. Design a strategy to encourage your followers to use the blog badge. You could start a post on 'The 100 best blogs in [your niche]' and create badges for 'Top 100,' 'Top 50,' 'Top 10' and so on. Then, email the relevant code to the websites. Alternatively, you might simply ask your loyal visitors to help you by writing a dedicated post about the badge and asking people to put it on their sites.
2. Create a badge. If you have graphic design skills, you can open Photoshop or a similar program and get to work. If not, ask an artistic friend or use a free logo generator such as the one on Cooltext.com. Regardless of how you design the badge, remember that you want it to stand out enough that it will be noticed and people will click on it.
3. Log in to your WordPress account. Go to 'Media' and click 'Add New.' Upload your badge to your website by clicking 'Browse' and locating the image file on your hard drive. Once you have uploaded the file, copy the text next to the 'URL' text box -- this is the location of the image on your website.
4. Determine the code that is needed to place your blog badge on another blog or website. Use the following format, replacing the example URLs with your own:
5. Advertise the badge on your website. Start a new post, telling people about the badge and providing the code you developed in Step 4. Alternately, you can place a small message on your WordPress sidebar by going to 'Appearance,' 'Widgets' and dragging a 'Text' widget to the sidebar. Add your message and the code for your badge to the 'Text' area.
