Are you walking in The Light The Night Walk or supporting someone who is walking? Well, now you can add Facebook badges to show your friends! We’ve created some icons that will let people know what’s important to you. And, they’re a cinch to add to your profile.

How to add a badge to your profile:

  1. First, sign into Facebook.
  2. Then, add the Pins! And Badges Application to your profile.
  3. Next, click the “browse” tab to search for the LLS badges. (HINT: Type “*LLS:*” into the search box to find them quickly.)
  4. Add the badges you like to your profile! That’s it!
And, there’s more than you can do. If you’re already registered for Light The Night, you can link directly to your online fundraising page from your badge! It’s a quick and easy way to encourage your Facebook network to support you.

How to upload a badge:

  1. First, right click and save any of the badges up top.
  2. Next, make sure you’re signed into Facebook and add the Pins! And Badges Application to your profile.
  3. Click on the “upload” tab and upload the badge you just saved.
  4. Name it (ex: Christine’s Light The Night Badge) and enter in the URL of your fundraising page.
  5. Click “Preview my pin” and choose the version that looks the best. And click one the checkbox under “approve.”
  6. Add it to your profile and you’re done!

You can add as many as you’d like and invite your friends to add some too! We’d love to see what you’ve done with these badges, so leave me a comment, join the LLS Facebook Group, or add me as a friend!


UPDATE 7/15/2008: We now have instructions for adding the badges to your Myspace profile. Visit our Myspace page and look in the "Heroes" section for the badges and HTML codes to add them to your page! You can even use that code on your own blog. Good luck and thanks for the support!

This is great! Thanks so much for posting such clear instructions.

I've also got a Light the Night button on my Pieces of Flair board, which may appeal to some others that don't already have the Pins! and Badges Application.

Hey hey! Thanks for the FLAIR, Christine... I've forwarded it to Han, and likely it will be all over the Central Texas realm by the end of the day! I would bet you'll get a broader use and penetration witrh the flair - it's a really popular fb app.

I'm sure Han will add it to the ltnteampink site as well! She created a fb group for LTN Team Pink yesterday, and is getting the excitement level up with it. Next on the list is a Team Pink piece of flair!

It's nice to see LLS/LTN getting in to the community/collaboration realm. There is huge possibilty to spread the word, and the viral nature of Facebook is way good, too.

Thanks again for the flair!
