Buttons galore!

You asked for 'em and we have 'em. Two new buttons (in standard sizes) you can choose from to add to your blog.

The first is 15x80 pixels, like the buttons for My Yahoo, Newsgator and other RSS services. Many bloggers have a section with a cluster of buttons to a number of aggregation services, and this button is designed to go into that section.

The second is an animated button that is designed to catch your readers' eyes and encourage them to subscribe to your blog. At 150 pixels wide, it is perfect for the right or left column of your blog, and at only 22 pixels high, it is short enough to put above the fold without stealing precious advertising or blogrolling space.

Both of these new buttons can be generated from the Blogarithm form page. Just put in your blog's address and (optionally) your email address, and we'll create the code you need for these two buttons. Put the code on your blog, and when a reader clicks on the button, it will take him to a subscribe page with your blog address already filled in.

So don't let your readers forget you. Put up a Blogarithm button and keep them coming back.

The 2 smaller buttons are missing a "http://www.blogarithm.com/" in the src field that joins images/external/.....

Otherwise great job ;)

Yikes! Good catch! All better now...

In case anyone's wondering, the problem that would have been experienced by anyone who put up one of the buttons in the last few days is that a "missing image" icon would have shown up instead of the button image. It works on our servers because the images are local to us, but wouldn't have worked externally. Now it does. Thanks Mereel!
