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:

First, sign into Facebook.
Then, add the Pins! And Badges Application to your profile.
Next, click the “browse” tab to search for the LLS badges. (HINT: Type “*LLS:*” into the search box to find them quickly.)
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:

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