We're open for business! AND How to make a blog button...

Woo Hoo!  I am now *pretty much* done with editing this sucker.  I have a couple of things I want to do but they can wait :).  Well here is your first tutorial~

How to make a Blog Button


1.  Design an image with a photo editing software.  Make it 150x150 pixels.  I use Gimp to edit ALL of my stuff :).
2. Upload it to an image 'holding' site.  Like Photobucket or Image Shack.
3. Click on where it says Direct URL by your photo (after you uploaded it) Copy the URL in the box.
4. Log onto your blog.  Click 'Layout' on your dashboard.  Click 'Add a Gadget' on your sidebar.  Scroll down to 'HTML/Javascript'.  Click add.  Paste the Code below into the box replacing Direct URL with YOUR Direct URL and putting YOUR blogs URL where it says Blog URL.



5. Now put your Direct URL in wherever it says Direct URL and put your blog's URL in wherever it says BLOG URL.
6. Click Save and you're done!
