Hi Jodee,

The FB link that shows at the bottom of the badge page is in fact only meant to share a link on FB (along with your iphone-shots profile photo). Unfortunately, it cannot display your badge on Facebook (I know it's a bit confusing).

In order to display your badge on a website, you need to grab the html code displayed on the badge page and paste it on the website's page where you want your badge to appear. The badge cannot be displayed easily on an FB profile because it's generated as a Flash animation and FB doesn't allow this. Using third-party applications though, you can display flash animations on your profile page (but it's far from easy to set up, IMHO).

Concerning Flickr, it's about the same problem. While you can add basic html elements to your Flickr profile, Flickr doesn't allow Flash animations. Still, you can add an image and a link just as I did here. You'll find more images of iPhone-Shots on this page. Please feel free to use them to link to our site (we need this very much, as iphone-shots is a very young site).
If you need help on how to add such an image and a link to your Flickr page (or to any website), please reply.

Site badges are perfect when you have your own website or blog and if you can add any html code or widget to your page. All you have to do is customize the badge then grab the embed code and paste it on your website. Unfortunately, this cannot be done (at least easily) with Facebook and Flickr.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to reply if you need any further help.
Jacques
