How to Install a Facebook Blog Widget or Badge

Phil Burns tells how:

Go to your Profile page in Facebook, scroll ALL the way to the bottom. On the left side there are two links, “Profile Layout” and “Create a Profile Badge”. Click “Create a Profile Badge”.

I made this post simply because I spent considerable time searching for a Facebook blog widget and found nothing either in searches or within Facebook itself. But I wanted one. Now you won’t find nothing when searching for this! You’ll find this. Why Facebook calls it a badge I’ll never know…

      Glad I could help! :) I only found how to create one by accident and thought it would be a good thing to share – in fact your emailing me and asking me to clarify how to find one led me to create a new post, on how to create 4 different badges.

      I don’t know why so many sites make it difficult to figure out how to get their badges – MyBlogLog is the only one I’ve seen that puts it right out front.
