LinkedIn API: A Simple Link To Follow Your Company

I'm working on a project where I need to create a link that, when clicked, takes the user to the LinkedIn profile and also automatically follows the company. I'm guessing the LinkedIn API is the way to go for this, but I'm a bit stuck; I followed the steps to create a new application and successfully created a login button based on the documentation, but I'm a little confused on how to create just one link that I could wrap around the image. Is this ultimately what the examples in the docs create? Thanks to

You can create a Follow Company plugin from here: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/follow-company



The plugin is described here: https://developer.linkedin.com/follow-company

it looks like LinkedIn wants to keep their corporate identity, so their API is pretty much limited to giving you a button .. of which there are many options to choose from: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/follow-company



However, with some CSS, you can style this to look however you want. Be aware that you will want to keep the options in the license agreement: http://developer.linkedin.com/linkedin-plugins-license-agreement
