How to add Facebook widgets/badges to your site and Artfire page

If you are wondering how to add a Facebook badge or widget to your site or
Artfire page, wonder no further. 

First, log into your Facebook account, then...

-------------------------

If you have a Facebook PAGE for your business (not a regular Facebook personal
profile), then you need to go here:

http://www.facebook.com/badges/page.php 

If you have Blogger or Typepad you can easily add the widget to your site with
the click of a button, you'll see when you go to the link above.  If you want
to put it on your Artfire page or another website, then you will need to first
open the site in your browser and get to the configuration page, and then to
edit html.  Then in the link above, click "other" and copy the code and paste
it to your site.

To get it on your Artfire page specifically:

1. Go to MyArtfire> My studio> My Widgets
2. On the right side, click "» TEXT/HTML/FLASH"
3. Click on either add to sidebar or add to bottom
4. Paste the code, and
5. Click on "+ Add widget"

-----------

If you use a personal Facebook PROFILE that you use as a business page, then
you can also post a widget linking to your profile on your blog, website, or \
Artfire page, the instructions are similar, but instead of going to the above
link, you'd go to this one instead:

http://www.facebook.com/badges/profile.php
------------

For other social plugins, go here:

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

These are used in a similar way, as a method of placing your Facebook page
presense on your sites, you can put a "like" button, you can add a widget that
says who all "likes" a certain page with their photos, and much more.  So now
that you know how and where to put the code, why not play around with some
Facebook widgets and see which ones you like best!? 

11 Steps to Put Our Widget on your Artfire Studio

How to put The Native American Network's Widget on your Artfire Studio Page

I just updated our widget to match our current theme, so if you have the old one you can keep
it or change it, either way is fine.  

1.  Go to MyArtfire> My studio> My Widgets

2.  On the right side, click "» TEXT/HTML/FLASH"

3.  Open a new window or tab so that you have two websites open at the same time.  

4.  Type or copy our blog address:  http://tnan-afguild.blogspot.com

5.  On the right near the top, look for our widget that is already on our
page.  Underneath it is a white box with text.  The text is the html code 
that you will need.

6.  Hilite the entire code with your mouse OR right click in the white box,
then right click and choose "select all"

7.  Right click on your hilited text a second time and choose "copy," OR use 
your keyboard and hold down the ctl key and the "c" key at the same time to 
copy the text.

8.  Go back to your Artfire page (it should still be open from before and you 
should have a box in front of you where you can put the html code.

9.  Decide if you want the widget placed on the right side of your Artfire page 
or underneath your listings.

10. Right click inside the blank text box and choose "paste" OR click inside 
the text box and then on your keyboard hold down the ctl key while you push "v" 
to paste the code inside your open html box.

11. Click "+ Add Widget"

That's it.  You've now added our widget to your page.  To verify just look at 
your live studio and you will see the widget either on the right side of your 
listings or underneath them.


*NOTE: You can also add text to the sidebar or under your listing by typing
inside the blank text box what you want your page to say rather than pasting the
widget code. For example, if you are having a special sale you can announce it,
or just say hello to your customers, in the sidebar using this same method.
