Button News!

I've decided to post my info on how to make a button. I know how hard it is to make a button, I searched and searched until I was able to put it all together. So here are some tips to making a button. First, I found this site pregnancybaby411 shes give a great tutorial on how to make a button using picnik. You can then go to digiscrapdepot there you will find freebies for embellishments and free papers. Digiscrapdepot is where you can get the background, which is the embellishment or free paper. You can save them to your computer and upload them to picnik. Once you upload to picnik, then you can resize and edit, then create your design.


After you done your thing on picnik you can put your finished design on photobucket or picasa. When you have uploaded your photo to one of those sites. You can get the image url by right clicking on the photo. I use picasa web and after right clicking the photo it will say view image info. This will come up in another box. Copy the image information. You will need it to make your button. You may have to have more then one window open. Now you can read all the directions that pregnancy411 gives and follow them. When it come to making the button box I have another site that I felt was easier.


Go to Shabby Blogs Tutorial how to get your own grab button. You can read the instructions and they will give you a html script to add to your blog. Open your add a gadget box and put in the script.


<img src="http://YOURBUTTONLOCATION.jpg" /> <br /> <textarea style="text-align:center" rows="4" cols="22"><a border="0" href="http://YOURBLOGADDRESS.com" target="_blank"><img src=http://YOURBUTTONLOCATION.jpg></a></textarea>


The url that you copied of your image will go in the your button location. Your blog address example; http://thedawnbegins.blogspot.com and then put the url  you copied will go in the button location again. Save it and save your blog.
There is some information about photoshop on pregnancy411 blog. I don't have photoshop so I'm not familiar with it. Also on picnik there are premium options you can use to create the image you want. If you need more help just ask me. I might know something LOL!


Have a Blessed day and I hope you have success in making your button
