Siggy Q: Biggest Loser Girls

Does anyone else want to put in their siggy one of those tickers?  I might try to count down BMI or pounds to goal.  Any clue as to how I do it?

  • I might! Would like to know how as well!! I still can not figure out how to get a pic in my siggy!!

  • I've got an existing weight loss ticker in my blog and I'll make sure I can put it in my siggy before I give you all instructions :)  Just a sec!
  • Wow, that's getting to be a very busy siggy :)

    Okay, I made my ticker at www.tickerfactory.com.  once you're done configuring it, it will give you two different versions of the code--you want the HTML. 

    Go to where you edit your siggy and cut and paste the enter code into your siggy. 

    Here's the tricky part--you need to change the URLs in the HTML code to TinyURLs.  There should be two different URLs (websites that start with http://) in your ticker code.  

    Highlight the first, copy it, then go to www.tinyurl.com (in a separate window or tab) and paste the URL there.  Click "Make TinyURL" and a TinyURL will be generated.  Go back to the siggy editor and put that tinyurl in the place of the URL you just "tiny-ized".  Then repeat those steps for the 2nd URL in the ticker code.

    Save the siggy and go check out one of your previous posts (you don't have to post again) and see if it worked. 

    If this sounds too high-tech for you, go ahead and create the ticker and I'll be happy to give you the code that goes into your siggy editor.  I should be by the computer until about 7, at least.  :)

  • I am not savy about this and can not figure it out!
