adding facebook badge to a page

[Gregory Leicht Sarasota]

How do I add a facebook badge or a linkedin badge to a page. I know how to get the code from facebook and linkedin. And I know from a previous post that I need to make a snippet. The question is how do I create the snippet so that it will open up in a new page not the same page?

In html, when you want a link (whether it's a graphic or text) to open in a new page, this is the syntax:

<a href="http://the.url.you.want" target="_blank">the.url.you.want (or the <img> tag)</a>

The target="_blank" is the part that makes it open in a new page.

Do I post this line of code in the snippet or the in the text?

It doesn't need to be a snippet. If you want to put it on several different pages, however, it might be a good idea to make it a snippet so you only need to change it in one place if edits are necessary later.

If it's in a snippet, you need to use the HTML I gave you above.

If you put it directly on a page, you can use the WYSIWYG editor to indicate that the link should open a new page. Just use the link tool. It has a place to select the target. Here's how:
1. Insert the graphic where you want it on the page.
2. Click on the graphic to select it.
3. Click the link tool
4. In the resulting Insert/edit link pop-up window, type in the Link URL, then select "Open link in a new window" from the Target menu.
