Save Our Bandwidth

Boy do we ever love it when you visit our site! Unfortunately, big sites like crochetme.com pay for their bandwidth (the amount of stuff that's downloaded). So, if you just link to the CAL button instead of downloading it to your computer and uploading it to your server, we pay every time someone visits YOUR blog too!

Please make sure you download the CAL button before using it:

On a mac press the Control Key and click on the button, then click save image to desktop.

On a PC, right-click on the image, and save it to your desktop.

Then you can upload the image to flickr, or wherever you store your images online, or upload it using your blogging software and link to that version of the image instead of the one on the crochetme.com site.

Cheers!

I've got some new pics up on my blog too. Having much fun. Already see many, many fun adaptations to try and anticipate being addicted to this project over the winter. In the sake of clarity, will tag myself as the Dawn in MN...howdy to the other Dawn where ever you might be. It's nice to run into another, doesn't happen often.

Hope I've done the linky right. Copied the graphic to my computer, then loaded it on blogger, stuck it in my post and made it link to the CAL blog. Never done that before, but it made sense. Lemme know if I grocked it. Mea culpa if I did.

Thanks Amy for all ya do!

I need help even making the button clickable. I just copied it as a picture and stuck it on my blog posts. I don't know how to do it the right way.

To make it "clickable" you need to make it a link, the same way you would create a text link. If your blogging software allows, you can highlight the image, and click the link button and enter the URL.

Thanks for the hint. I've been adding the button to my posts (stored on my own server, of course) but I've been forgetting to link it back here. That has been remedied.

Now, back to mulling over other problems.
