How do I get my "Answer Badge (beta) in my yahoo 360 page and Multiply account?

Question

I tried following instructions but I can't seem to understand still!

Where do I paste the code?

Answer 1

In Yahoo! 360, you can only include the Answers Badge as part of a specific blog post, but not as a permanent module or in any of the other modules.

I'm afraid 360 just didn't have that kind of flexibility, and in the case of Multiply, you need to know how to manipulate the code (and even then, I'm not sure it's possible).

To include the badge into a blog entry, follow these steps:

1) Go to the badge page http://answers.yahoo.com/my/badge_select... and copy the code for the FLASH badge (the other two types won't work in 360)

2) In 360, click on "Compose new entry"

3) Enable the option "View HTML source" by clicking the box next to the Text window.

4) Paste the Badge Flash code into the blog text window

5) De-select the "View HTML source" option and you will see the badge (or a box signaling where the badge will appear). You can write the rest of your blog entry. In fact, you have to write something or the system won't let you post the entry (it requires at least one image or some text).

6) Click on "Post this entry" or "Preview" if you want to make sure it looks right.

Okay.. the way I am understanding the badge thing is this..

the only way you are going to be able to post a live badge on Yahoo 360 is by using the html code they provide and put it into your blog.. or you can put an RSS feed of your profile and activities into the RSS feeds Module on your profile page. To access the RSS option .. look under your percentages of best answer and total amount of answered questions on the right side of the profile page.

To put a live badge on your Multiply.com site.. Just forget the Java script codes.. unless you know how to write CSS scripts they use to design the base page ... I don't know how to use that option .. it is pretty complicated..

So you can use the Html code they have and paste it into your About Me module if you are using the Custom Colors theme option they have.

The rest of the modules they have for us to use are not set up to handle a live feed from a link and it show up as your badge on your page.
