Here you are – the first annual Writers Worth Day widget in honor of the … well, Second Annual Writers Worth Day, which is May 15, 2009. Mind you, I put this together myself and I am not a designer, so if the size is wrong, as I’m sure it is, I apologize. I have attempted to embed a link back to this blog for details on Writers Worth Day. It may work – it may not.
Please post this on your blog, your website, your email sig, wherever you can to spread the word and raise a little collective consciousness about our industry and our value.

Cute! Now, to get it on my blog…*scared non-techy writer*
You’d need to give us the code in order for it to link back to your blog. I’m pretty decent with html so why don’t you tell me what page you’d like to link to and I will try to write the code for you non-techie types. :o)
look at the cute little man with his hands raised… a scaled down liberty (minus the torch?)
I’ve got it on my blog with a link back to your Worthy Activities post. Thanks!
Katharine, you’re very kind. 🙂 I wish I knew what you just said, but you’re very kind. LOL
The only page I want to link to is this one – the home page. As for the code – do you mean something else?
Move over, Kim. I’m sharing that seat on the confused bus. 🙂
Ruthibelle, consider him (her?) raising a fist in the air. Sort of a Gumby version of “We ROCK!”
Amanda, thank you. :))
Trying to figure how to get it into my page . .
If anyone needs a JPG (I posted a JPG, but for some reason it’s not showing up as one), email me directly and I’ll send one over.
I’m still looking for a way to do what I want to do, Lori. I’ll let you know when I have code for people to copy and paste onto their websites.
Katharine, if it helps, Amanda posted it on her blog with a link back. Maybe just right click on that one and save it?
I'm not promising anything, but let's see if this works:
<a href="http://loriwidmer.blogspot.com/"><img title="Writers Worth Day" alt="Writers Worth Day" src="http://www.katharineswan.com/images/writersworth.jpg" border="0" /></a>
Ha ha! It worked! Okay, you guys can just copy and paste that into your blog and it will post the widget with a link back to Lori’s blog. :o)
Lori,
I’ve posted the widget on my blog. You said something in the original post about maybe creating a page for Writer’s Worth Day. Are you going to do that?
Katharine, thank you!!!
Lillie, I’m trying to. I’m a little overwhelmed with work right now (amen to that!), but hopefullly by Monday I’ll have something. Thanks for asking!
Aaaaaand my widget is funally up! **happy dancing around desk**
Yay! Kimberly, you are the best. 🙂
Sorry, I didn’t visit for a few days and have only now seen that you created a widget. I’ve put it on my site with the help of Katharine Swan’s code.
Katharine, you realize that everyone who uses your code is going to be pulling the image from your site, right? If Oprah puts the widget on her site, it may crash your browser.
Kirk, yeah I am aware of that. I didn’t consider the possibility of Oprah using the widget, so I wasn’t concerned about it. ;o)
That said, though, is everyone expecting this to be more popular than I was? If so I can upload the image to photobucket and rewrite the code.
Katharine, I doubt Oprah’s heading here. 🙂 I’m guessing maybe 30-40 people will use the code at best. I don’t see a surge of users headed this way.
Honestly, I’m concerned you’re putting a lot of time into this and you don’t have to. :)) I appreciate what you’ve done so far!
I have about an inch of experience with this image stuff, so let me try loading it onto my loriwidmer.com site folder and revising the code so it pulls from there, too. I’ll be back if it works. 🙂
No problem, Lori! If you get the image uploaded onto your website, just sent me the URL for the picture and I’ll put the new code into the comments. I promise it won’t take very long! :o) There’s just something you need to do to put the code into the comments, instead of the widget.
