How to Make Cute Page Buttons for Blogger

Customize your Blogger page by making new buttons for it.

Blogger, which is a free blog hosting site, was formerly called Blog Spot. Now, both of the sites are owned and operated by Google. If you have checked out other people's blogs on Blogger and noticed cute page buttons, there is no need to get jealous. You don't have to be a computer programmer to make the buttons. You can make your own buttons by uploading a picture and a few simple HTML codes.

Instructions

1. Find a picture or background you want to use. Upload it to an image hosting site. Photobucket, Image Shack and Tiny Pic are some sites that offer online image hosting.

2. Copy the full URL where the picture is uploaded. Use the example "http://xxx.photobucket.com/albums/xxx/xxx/xxx.jpg" for reference.

3. Navigate to the Blogger site. Sign-in to your blog. Copy the full URL of your blog. Use the example "http://xxx.blogspot.com" for reference.

4. Copy the following HTML code:

   <a href="http://xxx.blogspot.com"><img src="http://xxx.photobucket.com/albums/xxx/xxx/xxx.jpg" alt="Sample Text" width="130" height="40" border="0"></a>

5. Replace the examples with your URLs from Step 2 and 3. Replace "Sample Text" with the text you want on your button. Replace the numbers next to height and width with the dimensions you want for your button.

6. Open your blog. Click on the "Edit HTML" button. Paste the revised HTML code. Click the "Save" button. You have now made cute buttons for your Blogger page.
