Robo.to: Really put your face into it

Add your robo.to video status update as a badge on your personal website or blog. It automatically displays your latest!

Make your badge using the customizer. Or manually edit the code by going to your "Share my Face" page to grab it then tweak the following:

Size
By default the size is set to a 288 pixel square. You can change the size of the badge by changing this variable to whatever pixel size you wish. There are a total of six instances of this in the code that would need to be changed.

Border
By default we have a 7px border. Simply change the 7px to 0px in order to remove the border. Simply change the color from black to another HTML color like pink or lightblue if you don't like the dark gray.

Loop
By default we loop the video status playback endlessly. If you think this will be too annoying on your page, you can turn off the looping and have it only play once after the page loads. Mousing over it will play it. To do this, simply look for the &loop=1 bit in the code and change it to &loop=0. There are two instances of this in the code that would need to be changed.

Text
By default we also display the status message text over the video. If you prefer to not display this, simply look for the &hideBlerb=0 bit in the code and change it to &hideBlerb=1. There are two instances of this in the code that would need to be changed.

If you don't want it to automatically show the latest updates you make but rather just one particular update you made in the past, you can do this by adding the particular iid to the end of your uuid codes... uuid=###############&iid=###### in red. This is a fake string of numbers of course. You can get your actual iid by clicking "Archive" from your robo.to page and picking the update you want to use. The URL of that one you select will give you the iid.

did you guys mean &hideBlurb, or actually Blerb?

We've been spelling blerb with an 'e' internally, although 'blurb' was once in play. one of those words, I guess.

Fixed now! Siouxie, thanks for alerting us. It was something that went wrong on the server side so if you follow the same stepf by adding a &uuid=XXXXXX it should just work. Here's my test page showing where it is working... http://ericsondejesus.com/

@mel, you go into videos, and then you paste a link of your robo.to page and add the stuff on the Customize page on robo.to that tells you to copy and paste. then it should work. worked for me :)
