DIY Blog Button

I have recently become obsessed with blogging.  I love everything about it.  I love making my blog my own and adding special touches to it.  One of my favorite things to make for my blog is a blog button.  They are cute and super easy to make.  So... I am going to show you how to make one.

Step 1: Go to PicMonkey and upload the picture that you want to make into a blog button.

Step 2: Resize the picture to 200 x 200.

(Make sure you uncheck the "Keep Proportions" box)

Now you can edit the picture and add text or whatever else you may want to your button.

When you are done, save your picture somewhere where you can find it easily.

Step 3: Now you want to upload your picture to Photo Bucket.  

This will give you the code that you need.

You need the "Direct Link" code.

Step 4: Next go to "Grab My Button" Code Generator.

Here you input the information it asks for.

First, input your blog's name, then your blog's URL, then the direct link code.

You can customize your button's text box, then click Preview.  

If you are happy with what you see, copy and paste your code into the HTML section on your blog.
