To have the dynamic HowLegit? widget on your site copy/paste the following in the article page:
<script type="text/javascript">
Legit_url = "PLACE HERE THE UNIQUE URL OF THE ARTICLE";
Howlegit_skin = "full";
</script>
<script src="http://www..howlegit.com/javascripts/skewthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Legit_url = "PLACE HERE THE UNIQUE URL OF THE ARTICLE";
Howlegit_skin = "full";
</script>
<script src="http://www..howlegit.com/javascripts/skewthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
note: Legit_skin is an optional variable and can have these values: 'full', 'button' or 'icon' (default is 'full')
2) The static HowLegit? widget will invite users to "HowLegit? It" for any particular article. It will not however, reflect the number of HowLegit?, but rather retain the static "HowLegit? It" image. Therefore, the static widget is quicker to render than the dynamic one.

To have the static HowLegit? widget on your site copy/paste the following in the article page:
<a href="http://www.howlegit.com/link/submit_link?url=PLACE HERE THE ESCAPED UNIQUE URL OF THE ARTICLE">
<img src="http://www..howlegit.com/images/widget/widget_full.png" />
</a>
</a>
IMPORTANT NOTE: These widgets have been designed to be placed with individual articles, not on a main page of a site. In order for this widget to work correctly, YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY FILL THE UNIQUE URL OF EACH ARTICLE IN THE LEGIT_URL VARIABLE. In some cases, this may need to be a back-end edit, done after the article has been published.
Example: A unique url of a typical blogger.com blog entry looks like this: http://blogname.blogspot.com/2007/07/title-of-entry.html
