  I am trying to add a yelp button to the front page of my site (just like the facebook feed). I have the Linen Theme at barkbabybark.com.
  I have a business page on Yelp.com where clients have reviewed my business and I want to embed this into my site so visitors can easily click on the button and see the reviews of my business.Just like Facebook.
  Yelp is the only review service I want to use for this and I am struggling to get the feed/button onto my site. Here is what I have tried:

  1) Went to Sharing and tried adding “a new service” with the following code for an icon button and the business page on yelp.
  
  <img src=”http://images.yelp.com/i/ext/genericYelpButton.gif” width=”88″ height=”33″ alt=”Bark Baby Bark on Yelp!” />
  When I did this WordPress said there was an error in creating this new service and it didn’t work.

  2) Went to Widgets and tried adding a Yelp RSS feed with this code . It added an RSS Yelp button but said there was an error with the feed. I tried starting with “http” and it still didn’t work.

  Can someone please help me fix this issue? I am not HTML saavy and use the “visual editor” most of the time. I have tried to find a solution in the forums but no luck. Having the Yelp button on my site is a big deal and I don’t understand how Facebook is so easy to add, but Yelp is not. They are very similar services when it comes to business review pages. Please help! Thank you!

  Sorry for some reason the codes I pasted above are not showing up.
  My business page code is
  and the yelp icon code is <img src=”http://images.yelp.com/i/ext/genericYelpButton.gif” width=”88″ height=”33″ alt=”Bark Baby Bark on Yelp!” />
  

  Pehaps Yelp didn’t provide me with the right codes?

  Please copy and paste the entire code you tried to insert. For the purpose of these forums only, please insert the code between <code> and </code>, otherwise we won’t be able to see the code (like it happened on the first two occurrences)
