The For the Love of Film (Noir) Blogathon
Starts Monday!

And here's where you can make a difference.




Just click on the button above and you'll be whisked away to PayPal where you can give in support of the Film Noir Foundation.

AND... follow this link to go to the place where you can find five different sizes of this button in both landscape and portrait for either within the post (as here) or on your sidebar (they're also, of course, listed below) as well as ads and posters for display on your website. Don't forget to visit Ferdy on Films and The Self-Styled Siren for all the details.

Now download the posters and buttons, put up the link and let's get this thing started!*











*To use the buttons within a post on Blogger, simply load the picture into your post as you would with any picture in a post, then click on it and hit the link button where it will allow you to put in the url for the Film Noir Foundation. I plan to put the button at the end of each post in this manner.

If you plan to use a donation button on your sidebar in Blogger, it's simply a matter of loading it up under gadgets and putting the url in the place where it asks what link you want for the picture.

Greg, I keep meaning to leave a comment to say what an excellent job you did with that trailer. Hits me in the gut every time. Nicely done and good luck with the blogathon.

Joe Thompson said...

I second the motion about the trailer -- wonderful stuff.

Greg said...

Jason and Joe, thank you both very much for the kind words. Glad you both liked it and look forward to your blog contributions during the blogathon.

Okay, I give up. How do I download the buttons?

Greg said...

Farran, give me a minute. I'm going to alter the post to explain it because I don't think it's clear to a lot of people.

Greg said...

Okay, I've put an explanation at the end of the post. Basically, it's the same thing you do, Farran, any time you put a link in a post only this time, click on the picture to highlight it instead of text. Once the picture is clicked on you can go to the link button and put in the url of the donation site.

Greg said...

Also, for everyone, simply click on the picture to go to it and save it to use for your blog.

OK Greg, I just submitted my modest donation by Pay Pal, and hope many will be doing same.

Good Luck for this fantastic venture!

Greg said...

Thanks, Sam! I hope we do as well as last year or better. Thanks for helping to get the ball rolling.

Greg - I couldn't get the button to work last nite, and I'll work on it again later today, but it's a great idea. BTW, I borrowed one of your banners, and tweaked it some to match my subject, a minor hommage to your style.
