Teacher Week: Technology Tip on How to Create a Blog Button!!!

* *

The most frequent technology Q & A I've received over the past year has been how to make a button for my blog.  Another popular question has been about creating grab buttons, which for those that don't know the difference, it's a button where people can grab the code and place in their own blog.  I've uploaded this post as a document on scribd.  Click the first image and save pdf to your computer!  =D

You are adding:
 red (blog address), blue (blog name), green (imgur code)

A Touch of Technology...

I have been working on a button for hours.  Silly, I know!  

I found a free photo editor online.  To created the graphics, I used Power Point. Once the button was how I desired, I uploaded the image to imgur.  The code below is what you'll need to create the linkable button. 

<center><a href="http://YOUR WEB ADDRESS/" target="_blank" title="BLOG TITLE"><img alt="BLOG TITLE" src="http://IMAGE WEB ADDRESS"/></a> <center></center><center><textarea id="code-source" rows="3" cols="13" name="code-source"><center><a href="http://YOUR WEB ADDRESS/"><img border="0" src="http://IMAGE WEB ADDRESS"/></a></center></textarea></center>

Don't forget to fill in the red, blue, and green components of the code with your web addresses and blog title.  To add a button to your sidebar, you'll need to open your account options in your blog design and add the html gadget.
