Badges or buttons are graphics that link back to a site, in this case the CDC’s H1N1 Flu site.
Bloggers, webmasters, and people who have sites on social media portals like MySpace and Facebook often place these graphics on their site to spread important messages.
You’ll find I use them in my sidebar as well.
The CDC has created a number of these buttons or badges to inform (and remind) people about the new Flu. Each button is available in several different sizes, increasing the ability for them to find placement on sites.
Dealing with a pandemic is a shared responsibility. Helping to get the message out, and reinforcing the need for good flu hygiene, is one way we can all help fight this new virus.
Here is the CDC’s Description, along with a few samples.
