Badges and Buttons for Spokes

Posted by at 24 November, 2009, 9:00 am

A common feature for the Hubs of Emergency Response Agency websites is badges and buttons that link to the agency spokes. Remember some of the spokes you can link to from your hub include:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • YouTube
  • Flickr

Twitter has a set of buttons available as a link from the Twitter Goodies page. Adding a Twitter button is as simple as copying the HTML code associated with button and pasting it into a widget, sidebar, post, or page.
