Add Ning Status Box to Home Page - - UPDATE: MARCH 17, 2011, TIP FIXED!

Due to a recent Ning Security update, this tip stopped working. Ning Engineer: Jon Aquino has fixed the code for us. The tip is now a simple box, with no background as I had before. I actually like it better. It works well and is easy to install.

All you need to do is copy/paste the attached code to a text box on your home page. There are 2 versions, one for wide column and one for a narrow column.

Enjoy, and thanks to Ning Engineer Jon we can use this again!

It just hit me. If this code doesn't work on the Ning sites who are Beta Testers, it's likely to break once July 20th gets here. I suggest not using this code until after the 20th.

Then the color can be changed? That would also look good with the color of your main page, and can be change whenever a new theme color is added. Hope l can do that. But l will be just as happy with the red.

Hi Jen, I love this tip and had no problems implementing it, thanks! However I just thought I'd mention that when I view either the jensocial.com home page or my own test page in IE7, this is how the Status Box displays;
