I have created buttons for several other sites (such as the ones in my right side bar), but I’ve finally gotten around to creating a button for this site that people can add to their own blogs, etc. as a way to advertise my site. Here are simple instructions for how you can create your own button with visible code so that people can easily grab it to add to their own site and further promote your blog or site. It will look exactly like my button in the right side bar (with the title “Grab My Button,” except your own image and link will appear in whatever dimensions you create your image in. It is very simple!

• Create an image that you want to use and save it to an online hosting account or to your ftp site.
• Copy and paste this code into a text widget, and replace the items in red to match your own image url and title.
  <center><a href=”THE URL TO YOUR SITE” target=”_blank” title=”YOUR DESIRED TITLE“><img alt=”YOUR DESIRED TITLE” src=”THE URL TO YOUR IMAGE“/></a></center><center><textarea id=”code-source” rows=”3″ name=”code-source”><center><a href=”THE URL TO YOUR SITE“><img border=”0″ src=”THE URL TO YOUR IMAGE“/></a></center></textarea></center>
• Note: If you are using blogger, just choose to Add a Gadget and click on the HTML/Javascript button to paste this code into. In WordPress, a simple text widget will work.

That’s all there is to it! If you are a regular subscriber to this site, or you like the posts here, please make sure to grab my button from the side bar and add it to your site! Feel free to let me know if you want a personalized button image that will match your site perfectly and fit the standard button dimensions.
