So many of the “pet projects” we work on never see the light of day. Often times its not that what we have holds no value, rather its that the creator in us just can’t see it as mature enough to be ready for the world. So we set it aside, the pet, and let it slowly starve as it inches its way to the graveyard abyss which we know as the back-up harddrive that eventually gets stashed away never to be seen again. This has been the fate of many of my pets (projects) over the years. Today, I’m going to prove that people can change by releasing one of these pets. I call this little guy the Pownce Badge Creator.
Its a simple little badge maker that lets you customize the colors and make a pownce flash badge for your website (or whatever). It displays links when available and also thumbnails to flickr pictures.

So I had high hopes for bringing the different media types into this little guy but may never get to it. That doesn’t mean that he still isn’t cute and useful. Enjoy.
It lives! -s
Side Note: Pownce is much faster these days. Muuuchhh faster. One my other new goals outside of pet saving is to post there more and try out that pownce iphone app. You can follow me there at http://pownce.com/initapp




The app looks correct in IE, but in FF3 the colors are black and white.

Hey Randy,
I took a look at your page and its black and white in all browsers for me. I copied the code out of your page and what i found is that you have inadvertently added an extra break into the code. It is in the flashvars.

So you can either remove your break or just make the badge again and you should be fine.
