My dear friend Erika M. Szabo made these badges for me. The first one reads “Thomas Rydder”, and the second and third ones read “Thomas Rydder, Author.” Beautiful, aren’t they? They are writtin in Rovasiras, the ancient language of the Huns. I’m going to replace my current “Follow me on Facebook” badge with one of these, but I’m not sure which one. What do you think? Comment your opinion 
(SEO hint of the day – If you include your blog address with your comment, it creates a backlink on my site to yours. More backlinks = higher Google rating for your site )
Badge #1
Badge #2
They’re all fascinating, and my first inclination is #2…but I’ve always been a fan of things etched in wood, so my final choice is the first one, with just your name.

Thanks Ron…and it’s simple too, which has it’s own brand of attraction…
I prefer 2, but I think one is cleaner and probably easier to read.
Thank you, Victoria…but where is the link to your site, young lady? You’re cheating folks…that site needs more followers
Hi, Tom – I’ll render a humble opinion . . .
I like the border/frame of the first one, and the color scheme (graduated burgundy) of the second, with your name/author only (i.e., as shown in the first text design). Hope this helps – looking forward to seeing what you decide!
Well, hello stranger! Great to hear from you…how have you been?
A lot of splendid work has obviously gone into creating all three of these, Thomas…I’d go for either one or two equally for my taste..we’ll support you whatever you choose.

Thank you, my brother…if I don’t talk to you further, have a splendiferous weekend
I really like #3, Thomas, but then I thought it looked a little “too Christmasy”, so my vote would be for #2: the clean lines caught my eye.
Hi Jim…yah, that was my thought too…the Huns were a savage folk..don’t think sparkly goes with fur and blood, huh?
I’m a fan of #1, simple straight forward, and strong.
Hi Kirsten…that’s my leaning too, and a couple others, it’ seems…Now, where is the link to your site, young lady?
I’m rubbish as decisions, but they’re all all good so I can’t see you’ll go wrong with whichever you pick.
HAH…now there’s an honest answer! Thanks Patsy…and for coming by…but where is your blog’s link, young lady? Thought you trying to sell books?
Hi, as I am not a big fan of the colour brown I will have to go with three, but the are all nice
I like #2, but think it should just be the name. But I like #1 and #3 too. Oh, heck, I’m all in a dither.

I like the wood look of #1 and I think it fits with the “rough and tumble” Huns.

Hello, Jim….#1 it is…am I correct in assuming you missed your own funeral…you WERE on my blog being interviewed this past week, you know
I like number three. It has pizzazz. And, aren’t we authors supposed to be expressive, yet introverts… I just think #3 is more captive to the eye. http://bit.ly/V5KPma http://bit.ly/Yt2zfL
Hi Debra…thanks so much for stopping by
#3 it is for the young lady….
