If you’re painting or sponsoring a square at the Youth in Arts Italian Street Painting Festival, the 2010 ISPF Button on your website or blog is a good way to advertise your participation and get more people to come see your street painting!

If your site is managed by someone else, just copy the code from the scrolling box and send it to them. Tell them where you want the button inserted, and they should know what to do from there.

If you’re a do-it-yourself-er, you need to copy and paste the code somewhere into your webpage or blog HTML. If you use a blogging platform (Wordpress, Blogger, Typepad, etc.) the easiest way to do this is often to create a Text/HTML “widget” or “gadget”, add it to your sidebar, and then paste the button code there.

<div align="center"><a href="http://www.youthinarts.org/StreetPainting2010" title="Bella Terra: YIA Italian Street Painting Festival 2010" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.youthinarts.org/images/ispf/2010ISPFButton.jpg" alt="Bella Terra: YIA Italian Street Painting Festival 2010" style="border:none;" /></a></div>

Visitors to your site will see the button and can click to our site with all the dates, directions, etc, so they can come enjoy your square at the Festival!

Also, we have list of participating artists here and a sponsors list here. Make sure we have your URL so we can link to your studio or portfolio site!
