If you go to many web 2.0 sites, you'll find a place to grab a few short lines of HTML code that you can embed into your own website. For example I grabbed the one for ArtBabble here: http://www.artbabble.org/goodies They are small, simple things, but make it easy to spread the love around. And in regard to my logo hunt, they often provide one that is easily identifiable and says "use me." Hi Steven,

We agree that a shared resource makes a stronger brand. Also, I am not sure what you meant when you wrote, "I have to admit I was pretty surprised to see that Smarthistory.org doesn’t have a bug. They’ve got links to vimeo, YouTube, Twitter, facebook, etc. but don’t provide one for their own content." Please explain. Hi Richard,

Here are two semi-related points I can contribute 1. After the Nth time answering the same request (I need the museum logo for this and that publication) I have created a public page on our website with all the version of our logo for everyone to use. Although it's in Hebrew, you will be able to understand the file names. The first item on the list is our brand guide. http://www.mada.org.il/about/logo 2. I deeply dislike Facebook but I have to use it because that's where our audience is. One thing about FB that I hate is that I cannot build a properly branded page. Upload one badge file and part of it will also be your thumbnail. I have struggled to create a badge that will contain a proper thumbnail. http://www.facebook.com/pages/-/127569645760 I am the webmaster/web 2.0 guy of the Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem.

ArtBabble.org" width="234" height="60" border="0" /></a> I have to admit I was pretty surprised to see that <a href="http://www.smarthistory.org" rel="nofollow">Smarthistory.org</a> doesn't have a bug. They've got links to vimeo, YouTube, Twitter, facebook, etc. but don't provide one for their own content. It's pretty easy to get their logo <img src="http://smarthistory.org/common/images/logo-smarthistory.gif" /> There must be some easy "badge generator" code laying around somewhere that would integrate in nicely. Thought I’d get the comments rolling by posting a few examples I’ve found so far:
