Grab the LABit tool for your desktop
Click here and follow the one simple instruction…
Then, when you have a post you would like showcased – or spot a great post on another blog that you’d like to recommend, , select some text in the post for the excerpt, max. 100 words (don’t worry you can shorten the text at the next step if you select more than 100) and click on the LAB-It! icon in your bookmark bar.
Once you have done this a window will appear that looks like this
You will notice that the Excerpt title, link to the post and the excerpt itself has automatically filled itself in for you.
If you would like to add a link to accompany the excerpt you can do so by clicking the ‘click to choose’ blue button. *Please note* We only use a thumbnail of the original image and the image itself cannot be copied by any third party in it’s original size from LAB. All images that appear in our Showcases clicks through to the original bloggers post.
Select the Showcase category that you desire and click submit!
Super easy!

It worked like a charm! I’ve added my most recent blog post and am hoping that fellow mum bloggers and texters can shed some light on my dilemma! Thanks!

Boo, I had this on my computer before and it’s gone! Now it won’t work for me
Any ideas on how to install the LAB button on IE 10 on Windows 8? There is no task bar to pin to… (Also having issues with pinterest button too).
Thanks in advance for any tech help you can offer x

Hello all, just found this site, love it! Vicki, sorry I can’t help with windows 8 but Dad has just got the new version and I feel your pain! Grrrrr!!!!! I got him to use the desktop rather than directly accessing the internet from the start menu, that way you can still use internet explorer with the task bar.

Finally got the LABit tool sorted for my desktop! Feel like it brings my new blog a certain authenticity!
