How to Make a Side Link for Facebook in a Website

A Facebook badge is a fully customizable link to your profile.

Facebook lets you link to your Facebook profile from anywhere else on the Internet. Facebook badges are the official way to do so from a website. Badges feature the Facebook logo, along with whatever information you want to include from your profile, such as your profile photo, name, networks, hometown, current city, email and so on. The amount of information you include is entirely up to you. When your website visitors click on the badge, they see your public Facebook profile.

Instructions

1. Log in to Facebook, and click "Profile" at the top of the page to view your own profile.

2. Scroll down the screen, and click the "Add a Badge to Your Site" link at the bottom of the navigation menu on the left side of your profile.

3. Click the "Edit This Badge" link on the right side of the screen to display the layout and information options for the link.

4. Click to select your preferred layout and items you want to include in the link, and then click "Save."

5. Click the "Other" button near the right side of the screen, and then copy the displayed code to your computer's clipboard.

6. Paste the copied code into the sidebar section of your website template and save the template.
