Creating a blog button...I always manage to miss one > , & or / that messes the whole thing up! Ugh!

I was very happy when I realized all it takes is these few easy steps, thanks to this website:

This is what you do:

1. Choose an image for your button. I created mine in Microsoft Publisher, saved as a JPG and then used Picmonkey to resize it.

**Keep your tabs open as you use the websites, just in case.** 

 2. Go to picmonkey.com and click on 'edit a photo'. Select the image that you want. Here you can crop/ resize it to a square image...choose 125 x 125  or 250 x 250. Save this image to your computer.

3. Head over to http://www.photobucket.com/. This is where you will get the URL for you image. I think Photobucket is the easiest one to grab an URL. It appears in a box in the right.

 Copy the direct link.  

4. Get your CODE. Go to the code generator and input your information. http://www.mycoolrealm.com/sandbox/gbgen/

5. Copy this and head over to your BLOG. Go to the template, "add a gadget", choose  the HTML/Java option, paste and save!

I was very pleased with how {easy} it was!
