Update, 09/10/2010: Updated as the Citings & Sightings badge instead of the Contexts Crawler badge.

Citings & Sightings offers catchy & concise snapshots of what sociology is and what sociologists are doing. Now you can put Citings on your website or blog with a Citings & Sightings badge that scrolls through our most recent headlines. Here’s what it looks like:

This badge was created for sociologists with their own personal websites, sociology departments who want an easy way to show off the exciting work being done in their discipline, or anyone else that likes what we’re doing here at The Society Pages.

To put this on your site, copy and paste the following code wherever you want it to appear on your site:

<div id="feed-control"><span style="height: 5.7em;color:#676767;font-size:11px;margin:10px;padding:4px;font-family: Verdana, sans-serif">Loading...</span></div>
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=notsupplied-wizard" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/dynamicfeed/gfdynamicfeedcontrol.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://thesocietypages.org/badges/citings/embed-v1.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://thesocietypages.org/badges/citings/embed-v1.js"></script>

If you want to add a light border around it, you can wrap it in a div, by putting this before the code:

<div style="border: solid 1px #ccc;padding: 6px">
</div>

and then, of course, add a closing </div> at the end of the above code block.
