Blog Friends bling for your blog—ideas

Alongside providing more conspicuous permalinks to blog posts (now done in your app and in your NewsFeed), one of the other most popular feature suggestions in our recent survey was a “Blog Friend me!” blog button. This button would not only send the reader to Facebook to add the Blog Friends app, but also automatically add the blogger as one of the user’s Blog Friends Favourites.

Given the number of you who said “YES!” to this feature idea in the survey, we felt there was no time to lose. So we got thinking and came up with this set of design ideas:

Blog Friends blog bling ideas

We’re planning to implement the buttons and badges in the New Year as one of our first priorities—so any feedback and additional ideas would be very welcome.

I like the third one best - orange border ;-)

I like the green bordered one.

Whichever way it turns out, I like the concept. It’s another way to build our blog readership among an age-group that doesn’t read many blogs.

Down the road, I can see that this will have a wonderful effect.

I love the concept!

I agree with Sharon that they’re all fine. I’d probably lean toward the blue bordered one simply because of my blog theme!

Happy New Year!
