Overview

Display “Badges” (which are really no more than HTML snippets) from a set of files in a specified directory off the root of the blog. The directory will default to “./badges” and the Zip file contains both that directory as well as a “Sample” badge.

Using the Widget you can choose whether to:

  1. enable “Display Badge in a Box” (enabled by default, uses internal CSS)
  2. enable “Display a Drop-Shadow” (probably best used with “Box Mode”)

as well as

  1. decide whether you would like to use a Title
  2. define the directory of the badges.
