Make a Button For Your Blog

I found the best blog link ever!! I was trying to make a "Grab My Button" link today....see to the right.......I spent all morning trying to find a code that worked....key word "worked." Yes, I know I made one a few months back but I can't remember where I found the code for that one. :/

Anyway I found a site that has a code generator! Awesome.......link at the bottom of the post!

To make your own button/badge you will need a photo hosting service. I use Photobucket. I love them! Upload the photo of what you would like your button to be. Size it to 150 x 150. That is the size of mine to the right. Save it and then copy the "direct link" info to your photo. The Direct Link will be to the right of your photo or underneath it.

Go to this wonderful link......

And......it is pretty self explanatory. Just copy and paste your info into the blanks and generate your code. Copy your new code and paste it in the Add a Gadget ~ HTML part of your blog, save and Ta Da!

I hope I didn't leave a step out. If so, just send me a note and I will fill in any blanks. :D

  2. I guess it doesn't work with Picassa or Flickr. I've tried both and I just get the little red x. :( Didn't want to have to open another account.

  5. I can't get the button to work on here, which makes me feel dumb. =/ I just copied and pasted what's in the scroll box and it still doesn't work.
