Create Portable YouTube Subscribe Button (as widget, iframe, html)

Make your own YouTube subscribe button as an iFrame widget

On a visit to Smosh.com, I noticed the fellas had a little widget that recognized me as Nalts and had a subscribe button. So I snatched the HTML iFrame thingy, and managed to insert it as a wordpress widget. iFrames usually make my blog puke, but they’re working okay.

Here’s the code:

<p><iframe src=”http://www.youtube.com/subscribe_widget?p=nalts” style=”overflow: hidden; height: 97px; width: 300px; border: 0;” scrolling=”no” frameBorder=”0″></iframe></p>

Just copy the above, paste it into your blog, and change “Nalts” to your username. I changed the pixel hight to 120 and the width to 200.

Rinse, repeat.

Anxiously Awaiting Chumby

Here’s my Chumby‘s path so far. He can hardly wait to meet me. I hope he’s not to cold in Anchorage. You can track him too. And Sukatra is lying below about the credit card problem, although that did happen with the Mac Book Pro I tried to buy last week. This was my consolation prize.

I’m going to see if I can stream audio of Mother Angelika, Walden Pond and Wayne Dyer over it. They’ve been teaching me about being present, and not worrying about possessions, constantly “doing” stuff, and the perceptions of others. There’s a simplicity that comes with not caring about material things, and I’m going to learn all about it on my, Chumby. Oh, wait.
