Putting the Xbox Live GamerCard on Blogspot

I thought that putting up a Gadget that was on the Blogspot list would be short and sweet. Guess I was wrong. Now, I’m quite new to Blogspot so please pardon my trespass if I seem like an idiot thinking this is a major accomplishment. For the first post of this blog, its going to be a simple tutorial on how to put up a GamerCard for your Xbox Live profile. After the code provided by Microsoft failed to be compatible with Blogspot, I tweaked the code provided by them to get it to work.

  • Get to your Blogspot Dashboard and choose the Blog that you think this Gadget would be a good addition to.
    • Find and click, Layout.
      • This should automatically bring you to Page Elements. If it does not, find it and bring it up.
  • Once there, go ahead and click the link that reads, “Add a Gadget.”
    • Find the gadget that’s called, HTML/JavaScript. Once there, enter this code and replace, “yourgamertaghere” with your gamertag!

It should look something like this.

HTML Script

  • Enter a title in and click save. Preview it to make sure that's how you want it.
