How to Make a Button

Icewolf asked me how to make a button, so here's a little tutorial:


To make a button, first get the image you want. Then go to Picnik and click the "Get Started Now" button. Then edit and add text until you get it the way you want your button to look.

Upload the image onto Imgur and get the URL.

Take this code (this is for my button but it will work):

<center><a href="" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Put up this button!<br /><textarea cols="20" rows="5"><a href="http://thegoldeneaglesblog.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></textarea></center>

And replace the highlighted green areas:

<center><a href="" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Put up this button!<br /><textarea cols="20" rows="5"><a href="http://thegoldeneaglesblog.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></textarea></center>

With whatever link you want, keeping it in the quotation marks.
Then in the highlighted red areas:

<center><a href="" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Put up this button!<br /><textarea cols="20" rows="5"><a href="http://thegoldeneaglesblog.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></textarea></center>


put in the URL of the Imgur link. Keep it within the quotation marks.

If you want to change what it says between the button and the code box change the highlighted blue area:

<center><a href="" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Put up this button!<br /><textarea cols="20" rows="5"><a href="http://thegoldeneaglesblog.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://imgur.com/1iTbZ.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></textarea></center>

Then, you're done!
