Why is the air conditioning not working again? WHYYY?

In other news, wrote 1700 words today on a chapter that really, really needed it. Good times. Still not up to any kind of chapter-a-day standard, though. Also, implemented the new all-in-one Hunger Site button.

Okay, how do you put those links at the bottom for the hungersite and all that? I've been looking around LJ trying to figure it out, and I'm now wondering if it's paid accounts only, so I figured I'll just ask you.

I don't actually know a l33t LJ way to do it--I just manually paste the code in for each new entry. Since I use Semagic, I just open the previous entry and get it from there.

*tries that* Er, yeah okay that works.

I'd just say, make sure you save the images to your own photo-hosting account (I haven't renewed my pro PB account in a while, and hotlinking might push my bandwidth usage over the edge). I also have a couple of stat counters in there, so make sure you don't copy those over as well.

I'm just doing the Free Rice button for now, and I used one of the banners they have on their FAQ, saved it to my laptop and uploaded it to imageshack.com. Not sure if the url will expire after a while, but if it does then I'll use my photobucket.

Hunger Site buttons

If you go to my Profile (click on my LJ name) you'll find the link to getting the code to use as you like. The original host is on LJ (after you click).
