  Can I add a Linkedin to my blog so that takes readers to my Linkedin page so that we can connect.

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

  You can make a text widget with a link to your LinkedIn account, but a little warning from experience: LinkedIn will suspend you and mark you as a spammer if they think you’re connecting with people you haven’t actually worked with. It’s not Facebook.

  I did try to do that, but it just created static text, not a link.
  Thanks for the warning, I’ll think about it a bit more.

  Don’t use the LinkedIn widget code. Make custom code: an image linked to your LinkedIn page. The widget code is stripped out here for security reasons.
