HTML Coding for Goodreads Buttons

Say whaaat?
​
So today I tried to add some widgets to the site in order to link it to my Goodreads account. As someone who has never learned a thing about coding, I actually found it a very straight-forward thing to do (because the pros have made it easy, not because I'm particularly smart. Though my mom and dad tell me I am all the time, and I'm rather content with their bias). But then I was faced with an obstacle: unclickable buttons. And they were so cute that I wanted to add them to my site, so I emailed Goodreads, and in a flash (like always) they wrote me back, being awesome!

They told me I need a URL for each photo, and gave me a simple code that I would have to place the URL into. So naturally here I am, uploading a bunch of buttons I'm hoping I can sprinkle later into the site. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, the whole point of this blog post was uploading a bunch of buttons so I can assign URLs to them. If you're a computer pro and cannot believe you wasted however many seconds reading this, I am truly sorry :) But if you're like me, and would like to know how to add Goodreads buttons to your website and draw traffic to your books onto GR, then I think this will help! (Or so I hope. This is still in the experimental phase)

Here are the buttons:

Hmm... Kinda looks like an ice-cream cone... Aren't they sexy!? They're sexy. Admit it. Except maybe the bottom two. I don't think they've even hit puberty yet. Awww bebe buttons!
I'm sorry. It's past 3 am and I'm a bit off my rocker. And manic. It's weird, but I get energetic when I'm exhausted.

Oh my god... I just realized all I have to do is link these images to my Goodreads page. Oh my GOD! I should NOT do things when I'm too tired to think smarter! UGH! MY PARENTS LIED TO ME!

Over the past few days, I have been e-mailing ARC's of The Fray Theory to interested readers, and in the process, been overcome by emotions I was not at all anticipating.

Every writer dreams of their book reaching the masses on a grand scale. It is this dream that spurs us on. It is this hope that shatters our writer's block. This fantasy which lifts the burden of the world off our shoulders.

But what I wasn't expecting is the rush of sheer joy each and every time someone expresses genuine excitement over reading the book. The humility of someone referring to one of the characters as though they are a real person. The love and warmth of knowing a reader has stepped into your world, and in the process, learned of your deepest and darkest thoughts, and shared your most earth-shattering emotions.

I never knew what a privilege it is to be a writer... to conjure a shared experience for friends and soon-to-be friends alike.

I am so grateful for every one of you. Thank you.
