Grab MY Button

While recovering today, I decided I needed to tweak my blog and put some more lovin' into it. Many bloggers that I follow or read have buttons on their pages. I wanted to get one for my page so anyone could link me to their blog or whatever they wanted to use it for.

It took me a while to find a tutorial that I understood. I am not a coder or a computer whiz. I mean, I get by with what I know. I wish I wouldve finished my graphic design degree then I would know ALOT more. hahaha  Here is a link of the tutorial I found the best to describe how to make a button.



I found this site and instructions super easy. I ended up setting up a FLICKR so I can have another site host besides Blogger, which I think goes through Picasa? I cant remember. It took me awhile to understand some of it, but I  think because her examples were color-coded, it helped alot because I am more of a visual learner!

The photo-editing software I use is Corel Paint Shop Pro, since I cannot afford Photoshop, this is almost next to best and I find it easier to use than Photoshop. Its been awhile since I used PS anyways since 2009 when I attended The Art Institute of Colorado in Denver. Man, I miss that school!

Here is the button I created for my blog. What do you think? Not bad huh? And if you are looking for cool, FREE Fonts, I got mine at http://www.fontspace.com. They are easy to download, all you do is unzip the file, then copy and paste it into your fonts and use it in your editing software!
