Bye button

Steve Herrmann Steve Herrmann | 12:31 UK time, Monday, 9 July 2007

Many thanks to those of you who put our Alan Johnston button on your blogs, websites and web pages. We estimate that it was used at about a thousand places around the web - it was a new and effective tool for highlighting Alan's situation and no doubt helped keep him in the public eye.

It's simple to do - just remove the code from your page and it will disappear. Alan, now back with his family, . In due course, when he's ready, he'll return to work at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ in London - and so it's time for us to regain a bit of normality.

I will, however, let blogger Tim Ireland of have the final word with this nicely doctored image.

Thanks, Steve. Most gracious of you.

I plan on keeping my replacement button in place for a while... it's not often one gets to do a purely joyful victory dance.
