Thanks to Amee with Madame Deals for sharing how to make your own blog button!

The button everyone has. I don’t mean belly.  I mean blog buttons. This is the easiest way to promote who you are.  I am going to show you how to make on in under 5 minutes.

Where do you get them?

You can make your own. I will show you the easiest way I know. I say if I can do it anyone can do it.

Step 1: Think of your theme

Step 2: Search for or create an image to use for your button. Here are a couple of sites that have nice images. Make sure that they are not copyrighted.

Step 3: Open your image in a FREE editing tools
picnik for great editing options
Photobucket so you can get the html code when you are done creating your button

Step 4: Edit your image by cropping, enhancing colors, adding text, removing flaws

Step 5: Resize your image to be 125×125

Step 6: Save your finished product to photo bucket

Step: 7: Get the HTML code so you can post your image on your site and make your button available for others

If you need a button made or you need any design work done:

    I followed your directions, but when I put the button on my website and click on it, it goes to the photobucket website. How do I make it go to my website? I tried linking it to the website when I put it in my design, but it still goes to photobucket. Thanks! I love my button and would love for it to work.
