Who has a blog they would like to promote?

[Hamish Gill]

Im bringing this project back form the dead
http://www.realphotographersforum.com/content/section/379-hugo.html

the idea is, you add the link:
http://www.realphotographersforum.com/hugo.php
behind this little icon

somewhere on your blog
like I have here 35mmc: … experiences with 35mm compact cameras

I add it to the little hugo button at the top of this website and people can follow hugo around a bunch of interesting photography related blogs and websites by clicking hugo wherever they find him

also, if you create lots of posts that get promoted to articles and add the rpf logo to your home page (like I have) you will be added to the list of guest bloggers... and get your logo on the home page of this site!

Any questions?

 

[Hamish Gill]

I'm also going to keep bumping this ... There must be some more out there who would at least be interested in having a hare on their site???

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I tried to add it to my new blog, but I require a URL of the 16x16px icon...

 

[Hamish Gill]

Here you go Rob, it's natively 32x32 ...

I set the target as blank, it's not strictly speaking a good idea, but under the circumstances I think it's a good idea ... Here you go

<a href="http://www.realphotographersforum.com/hugo.php"<img src="http://www.realphotographersforum.com/hugo.png"target="_blank">alt="Follow Hugo" title="Follow Hugo" width="32" height="32"></a>

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, it has kind of worked, but not as it should. See bottom of page imagesRM | Photography by Rob MacKillop

In wordpress, I went to Dashboard, Settings, Sharing, Add New Service

Service Name: Hugo

Sharing URL: http://www.realphotographersforum.com/hugo.php

Icon URL: http://www.realphotographersforum.com/hugo.png

I didn't use the code you gave in the previous message, as I don't know where to put it.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Ah, yeah, thought you might have a sidebar you could put a bit of static html in ...

Try this

[Rob MacKillop]

Will do - but later. Student arriving. Many thanks!

 

[Hamish Gill]

You are in the script now Rob

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks! It works now: imagesRM | Photography by Rob MacKillop

 

[Hamish Gill]

brill ... its starting to come together now... i might add a little bit of text to the animation page that says "find and follow hugo" ... what do you think?

 

[Lesley Jones]

Um... I might be interested in a while. I'm totally fed up with the whole Nik/Adobe/Flickr thing and I'm considering doing something else. I looked at a few other photo communities last night, but they were either too clinical, or openly hostile. (Sorry Rob, but I followed your flower and pipe link to the help section and it seems they don't want ex-Flickr members at all). I've only ever created a blog to blend in with a ferret rescue web site that I ran. I set it up and added the words when they were given to me. I'm not entirely sure I can find my own words, but I'm off to have a dabble...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Possibly. I'm wondering who would click on it without knowing what it is? I know I wouldn't.

BTW, I see you've subscribed to my Twitter feed - I used it for about a week a couple of years ago. Nothing since......

 

[Hamish Gill]

I suppose it doesnt matter to much ... its just for the inquisitive I suppose ...

 

[Lesley Jones]

Thanks to Rob's instructions, I've just added Hugo

 

[Rob MacKillop]

We got a convoy!

 

[Lesley Jones]

I don't know about that. I seem to be missing the blog entries under total number of posts. Have I done something wrong?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I don't know...

 

[Hamish Gill]

no, blog entries under total posts is to do with our onsite blogging system (which is a bit crap and no one really uses)

 

[Lesley Jones]

I still don't get it. You have blog entries (8) and so does Rob (11). I must be doing something wrong...

 

[Pete Askew]

I think the confusion is because the blog entries shown on Hamish's an Rob's profiles are old blogs hosted on the RPF site rather than ones on their new blobs hosted elsewhere.
