How do we add the blog buttons and the accompanying HTML "grab box"?

  Hello,

  I’ve been helped by several bloggers on this, but I think it’s a WordPress issue.

  I’d like to add a “blog button” to my page, where users can copy and paste the HTML code underneath an icon, then transfer it to their page. I’ve done all HTML codes correctly, however, when pasted into my blog, appears as a double of the icon/image, no grab box in sight.

  Here is the code – it was actually professionally done, so there shouldn’t be anything wrong with it – but I think the designer normally uses Blogger, and had no problems:

  <img src=”http://i54.tinypic.com/2mdkt46.jpg” />
  <textarea rows=”2″ cols=”25″><img src=”http://i54.tinypic.com/2mdkt46.jpg” /></textarea>

  What am I doing wrong?
  Kristina

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The grab my blog codes that work on Blogger blogs do not work on our free hosted WordPress.com blogs. However, there is a code generator for creating a grab my blog button that’s been created just for us. See here tutorial and generator.
