AND THE OTHER WAY TO MAKE A BUTTON...

I just got a comment from KBeau

See the post below (thank you so much for this) who tells me there is an easier way to make a button (after I just spent 2 hours trying to get Blogger to take the code, and ending up pasting it into a gif. Aaargh).

If you don't fancy typing any code, or don't have an external photo store (Picasa, Photobucket etc) you could do this instead:

KBeau says (I have paraphrased just a little):

In Blogger, you upload a picture directly from your computer instead of from an external site.

Once you have your picture, go to Layout > Page Elements > Add a Gadget > Add a Picture.

Locate the picture on your hard drive (or it can be on a website), and upload. Blogger will even shrink it to 220 pixels wide. Plus you have the option of making it clickable by typing in the website that it will link to (there is a box for that).

Isn't it nice to have a choice? Thanks, KBeau!
