To get a P.U.D.D.I.N.G. badge like the one on this page, that acts as a link back to this page, copy this code into your Personal Space:



Feel free to vary the EMBED code if you'd like the badge placed differently on your page, or vary the ALT message if you'd like different words in the little white box that appears when someone points their cursor at the badge.

Hmmm... I copy and pasted the code and it didn't take... any knack to it?

I've just copied and pasted that code on to the bottom of my Personal Space, and it works for me. Do you need to refresh your page to see the badge, perhaps? Or did you possibly miss a bit of the code?

I tried a couple of times... I guess I'll just keep trying...

Your U-page is in plain text. To get the badge to work, you'll need to convert it to GuideML. To do this there is a radio button at the bottom of the edit page.

If you do go for the conversion to GuideML, then there are a few other things you're going to need to do at the same time, or your page will look awful.

At the head and tail of each paragraph on your page you'll need to type:

On the lists, you can break those up by ending each item with a

Didn't think of that! Yes, of course, the badge does require GuideML. But you can do a lot more different things on your Personal Space if you use GuideML, so it's worth making the conversion.

Excellent... I will do that!

(I'm just bumping this thread up the conversation list to make it more visible. )

Thanks for that, Ormondroyd. I've been thinking about doing things to my Personal Space in GuideML for some time. Now I have no reason not to.
