Step 2:
Create either an image or text link that will be used as the Bookmark Site link. For the href attribute, use the following code:
javascript:bookmarksite('title_of_site', 'url_of_site')

<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('Transhopers', 'http://www.transhoper.co.cc')">Bookmark this site!</a>
Remember, if your site's title contains apostrophes, they need to be backslashed when entered:
<a href="javascript:bookmarksite('trans\'s hopers', 'http://www.google.com')">Bookmark this site!</a>
