WOMblink is a simple way for libraries to encourage word-of-mouth advertising by the blogging patrons -- hence the name, Word of Mouth Blog LINK (pronounced WOMblink). By adding a "blog this" link to your library web pages, you create a one-click way for bloggers to link to your site from their blog post. Sure, most blogging software products (TypePad, Moveable Type, Blogger, Bloglines, etc.) provide bookmarklets for the blogger to use -- but if the blogger is at a different computer, those don't work.

When bloggers click the WOMblink on your web page, they get a two-line snippet of HTML code to paste into their blog post about your library event, new book list, press release, or what have you. It links directly to the page they were on, and can include your library's logo.

WOMblink is very much a trial balloon -- I welcome your feedback. Please send your comments to womblink@rss4lib.com.

To give it a spin, please provide the following information about your web site (required fields are shown in bold):

Web Site URL
Web Site Title
Web Site Logo (URL)	Optional -- but if included, will be shown 25 pixels tall.
Your Name
Your Email Address	So I can send you an email with an edit link for this WOMblink

The idea for this tool started with a blog entry on Library Marketing-Thinking Outside the Book by Jill Stover, a post of mine on RSS4Lib, and comments by Jill Stover and Bill Drew.
