Ok...I think I am close. This is the code I am using now for both sites:
HTML Code:
<a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://ballhype.com/post/url/?url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)), 'qp');"><img src="http://images.ballhype.com/img/hype/button_96x22.png" alt="BallHype: hype it up!" width="96" height="22" border="0"/></a>
<a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://www.yardbarker.com/author/new/?pUrl='+(encodeURIComponent(location.href)).replace(/\./g,'%252E')), 'qp');"><img src="http://www.yardbarker.com/images/extern/bark_narrow.gif" width="64" height="22" border="0" style="border: 0; padding: 0 0 0 0;"></a>
The BallHype button is working like a gem and Yardbarker is almost complete. Only problem is I can't figure out what needs to be edited so when someone clicks on the button the thread's title gets plugged in as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
