Join the Blogroll
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
If your blog focuses on frugal living, finding deals, spending less or getting more for your money, insert the code in your sidebar and join the list!
The fine print:
- Your blog must be clean and family-friendly and must be compatible with a Christian worldview. I reserve the right to reject any blog that I deem to be inappropriate.
- Your blog does not need to be explicitly or exclusively about frugality, but must have an obvious bent in that direction. You know who you are, and it will show.
- Add the following code to your sidebar. When you are done you should see a list of all the blogroll members.
- Email me using the form at the bottom of the page. Once I’ve had a look at your blog I’ll add you to the list.
- Please do not use the form until you have added the code to your blog.
Easy, right? Now here’s the code.
OPTION 1:
;Frugal Blogroll
OPTION 2
Thanks to Mrs. Mecomber, there is a new option for members! Instead of showing the badge or the entire Frugal Blogroll (600 members and counting!) you can now use Mrs. Mecomber’s easy script to create a scrolling box and show just as much of the blogroll as you want.
Frugal Blogroll
The box is set by default to be 250 pixels high, but you can change the number to make it as tall or short as you like. I made it 750 in my own sidebar to show plenty of links without entirely taking over the sidebar. To learn more about customizing your scrolling box, read Mrs. Mecomber’s easy tutorial here. She has also volunteered to answer questions about using the scrolling box, so let her know if you run into problems.
If you are on Wordpress instead of Blogger you can delete the second line (
) and just name your widget “Frugal Blogroll.”
OPTION 3
Instead of adding the entire blogroll, members now have the option of adding the Frugal Hacks badge with a link back to the blogroll.
Just save this nifty why-yes-I-made-it-myself button and upload it to your blog with a link to http://frugalhacks.com/?page_id=65.
You can use the code below as is, or upload the image yourself and replace the image src=”http…” with a url of your own. If that doesn’t make sense to you, use as is. ![]()
Troubleshooting:
If the full blogroll or badge doesn’t appear, check the following:
- Did you save changes to your template?
- If you got the code before 8/12/07, get a new copy now. Wordpress was doing funny things to the quotation marks and replace them with “impostor” quotes. I think I have fixed the issue, and the code now should work.
- Check carefully for any other typos. A single missed character will keep the blogroll from appearing.
- If you are having trouble with the scrolling box, contact Mrs. Mecomber for help.
