Adding a Share Button to Your Shozam Gallery

Here’s a nifty tool on the web that lets you add a Share button to your Shozam website by using the HTML tab in Step 5: Manage Gallery. This tab is available in the Business and BusinessPlus Editions.

Why would you want to add a Share button? It makes it easy to promote your site and get more traffic. With the click of the Share button, your viewers can send a web page link via email, post it on social network sites, or even bookmark the page in a Favorites list. The website, www.addthis.com, lets you generate the button code easily, it’s free and there’s no registration. Here’s a one-minute short video on how to create and use your Share button.

Simply go to www.addthis.com and select the “Website” radio button. Select the button style you want, and then click on the big orange “Get Your Button.” Copy the resulting code. This button code is pasted in the HTML tab in Step 5, Manage Gallery. Choose whether you want to add the Share button to the top or bottom (we suggest the bottom) of your gallery pages, and enter the button code into that HTML field.

Shozam will place the Share button directly against the gallery frame. If you want to give the button a bit of breathing room, add a line break before the button code that you paste into the HTML field (add the break after the code if you are placing the button at the top of your pages). The code for a line break is simply: </br>

Here’s how the Share button looks on a Shozam Gallery, placed below the gallery window, with a line break included:
