Win an award!

I have started a blog award badge for the primary reason of commending the blogs I read regularly for travel inspiration, information and tips. I think these blogs should be celebrated and shared with the rest of the travel blogging community so we can network and build something special.

The secondary reason for creating my own badge to award, is to help me get to grips with html and gain more experience of designing for the web!

I have started by awarding the ‘lifetime’s exploration’ badge to five of my favourites and will hereafter award badges when I have been truly inspired by a beautiful photograph, exciting posts and inspirational travel stories. Those winners can then spread the joy and award my badge to other inspirational travel bloggers.

Here’s what to do if you have been awarded a badge…

Congratulations! Firstly paste the badge onto your blog using the html code below and then nominate 5 other travel bloggers to receive the award. Nice and easy!

My dear, I’m flattered and delighted to accept an award for a Lifetime’s
Exploration – why not, it has been the driving force for much of my life!

Now, you may have learned lots about HTML code, but my experiences to date with code have met with failure. Can’t I just do a screenshot copy of the award logo and link it back to you here?

It depends on where you would like to display it, bit the easiest way I have found is to add it to the primary sidebar using a text widget. Simply copy and paste the html into the text field and hit save. Forgive me if I am speaking of the proverbial sucking of eggs!

Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > drag the text widget to the sidebar, place accordingly, paste in the html, hit save.

If that’s not floating your boat then feel free to use the badge and link in way way you see fit.
Looking forward to many more exciting posts from your blog!

You can also simple switch to ‘text’ rather than ‘visual’ when creating your page or post, and paste my html from the box above into the text window. Flick back to ‘visual’ and the badge will display as a clickable image. Hope that helps!
