Test Mr. Linky for HBinFive

Below is a Mr. Linky Gadget that will look exactly like the one we will use for our bi-monthly Bread Braid. For November and December 2009 we will be having an unofficial Bread Braid on November 15th and December 15th.


How to Use a Mr. Linky Gadget

The first thing you need to do is take pictures of your bread(s). Then post your photos to either your Blog, Facebook, Facebook Fan Page or a Photo Album at any of the photo archives sites like flickr.com or photobucket.com.

As soon as you have your photos posted somewhere on the internet. You then need to copy the permalink of the blog post, FB photo album page, FB Fan photo album page or Photo Archive album page. Then you are ready to link to our HBinFive Bread Braid Gadget.

Below the Bread Braid Mr. Linky Gadget are detailed instructions for how to find a perma link.


To link up in Mr. Linky:

1. In the first field type your name or your brand ie Michelle@BigBlackDog. Please no more then 20 characters.

2. In the second field copy and paste a permalink.

3. Click ENTER

NOTE: If you link to the Bread Braid Gadget and want to practice again you have to use a different permalink.








PermaLink for a blog or website:

Permalink: A link to a specific post in the archives of a blog, which will remain valid after the post is no longer listed on the blog's front page.

Go to your blog just click on the title of a post and the URL in the Address Bar at the top of screen is the permalink for that specific post. A blog permalink generally ends in .html. If the URL in your Address Bar ends in .com, .net, .org, .ca or .au IT IS NOT a permalink. Again click on the title of the specific post you want to enter into Mr. Linky, copy the permalink and paste into the URL field.

For example:

Blog URL: http://www.bigblackdogs.net
Permalink to a specific post: http://www.bigblackdogs.net/2009/07/bba-cinnamon-cranberry-mini-challah.html


How to find a PermaLink for Facebook:

Permalink: A link to a specific folder in the archives of your Facebook Page. NOTE: It's best if you're using Facebook to create a separate folder per variety of bread and label the folder appropriately.

Go to your Facebook Page. Click on the Photo Tab. Then click on the specific folder holding your current bread pictures. At the top of your screen in the Address Field is the Permalink to the specific folder with your photos. Copy the URL and paste into the Mr. Linky URL field.

For example:

Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/BigBlackDogs
Facebook Photo Page: http://www.facebook.com/BigBlackDogs#/BigBlackDogs?v=photos
Permalink to a specific photo folder: http://www.facebook.com/BigBlackDogs#/album.php?aid=14756&id=1420817462


How to find a PermaLink for Facebook Fan Page:

Permalink: A link to a specific folder in the archives. NOTE: It's best if you're using a Facebook Fan Page to create a separate folder per variety of bread.

Go to your Facebook Fan Page. Click on the Photo Tab. Then click on the specific folder holding your current bread pictures. At the top of your screen in the Address Field is the Permalink to the specific folder with your photos. Copy the URL and paste into the Mr. Linky URL field.

For example:

Facebook Fan Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/edit/?id=116382146034#/pages/Big-Black-Dog/116382146034
Facebook Fan Photo Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Big-Black-Dog/116382146034?v=photos
Permalink to a specific photo folder: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Big-Black-Dog/116382146034?v=photos#/album.php?aid=-3&id=116382146034


How to find a PermaLink for a Photo Archive such as flickr.com or photobucket.com:

Permalink: A link to a specific folder in the archives. NOTE: It's best if you're using a photo archive to create a separate folder per variety of bread.

Go to your Photo Archive page. Then click on the specific folder holding your current bread pictures. At the top of your screen in the Address Field is the Permalink to the specific folder with your photos. Copy the URL and paste into the Mr. Linky URL field.

For example:

Photo Archive Page: http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o108/MichelleSafirstein/
Permalink to a specific photo folder: http://s118.photobucket.com/albums/o108/MichelleSafirstein/Soapstone%20Install
