Blog Button with Text Box for Code

I'm sure you've seen lots of blogs that have a button like this with a scrolling text box underneath that houses the button's code. This makes it easy for other people to place your blog's button on their blog and link effortlessly to you.

Although this is relatively easy, it was difficult to find directions that worked and were easy to understand. To place a button with a text box for code on your blog you need to have a button saved on the Internet (we use photobucket) and the following code. (This code has been tested for Blogger.)

The 4-Week Online Class: Profitable Blogging for Beginners
In Blogger under Layout, choose to add a gadget. Choose HTML/Javascript. In the title box, type something like "Get My Button". Now simply copy and paste the code below into the text box. Replace the colored information with your blog's information and your button's web address (for more information on how to get a web address for your button click here). Save and position the button where you want it. Save your changes and view your blog.

<center><a href="http://YOUR WEB ADDRESS/" target="_blank" title="BLOG TITLE"><img alt="BLOG TITLE" src="http://IMAGE WEB ADDRESS"/></a> <center>
</center>
<center><textarea id="code-source" rows="3" cols="13" name="code-source"><center><a href="http://YOUR WEB ADDRESS/"><img border="0" src="http://IMAGE WEB ADDRESS"/></a></center></textarea></center>

Make sure that there is only one http:// before your web address and before the image web address. If you copy and paste you may need to delete an extra http:// in order for the code to work. 

Turn Your Blog Into Cash!You can adjust the height and width of the text box by changing the values after the rows= and cols= places in the code above.

Here's an example of what the code will look like with the information filled in.

Add here's what the gadget section should look like on your blog.

Now, go add a button to your blog so all your readers can place it on their blogs. While you're at it, why not get our button?

What to know how to leave an embedded link in a comment?

Turn Your Blog Into Cash!


Please, let me know if this post was helpful to you. If it doesn't work, please, double check the code to make sure you haven't accidentally deleted something. Still need help? Leave us a comment and we'll try to help you figure out the problem.

Many people have asked how to do this in Wordpress. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea since I've only used Blogger. Sorry, guys!

Thank you....I want to make buttons of my own....and I was sure I could do it.
Now I feel confident that I can do it.

Gonna try soon.
Can I use some of the stuff from my blog design to create one?
I have it saved on there somewhere.
Just wondering.

Wanda, I don't see why not, unless the design is protected by someone else's copyright.

If you've been given permission to use it in anyway you wish then I'd say go right ahead.

This is a great tutorial! I have one question... how do you actually create the inage for the button? I tried with a picture in photoshop but it keeps saving it in a weird format that I can;t upload to the internet. Is there somewhere I can just make it online instead of using my own picture?
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this it was so helpful! I followed the steps and I'm only having one problem....

My button picture isn't showing up above the code box. The code is there and it looks like the picture, or button, should be there, but there is a X in it's place. If I click on the X it takes me to my blog though.

I didn't use photobucket, because I don't have and account and don't want to create one, so I published my button picture in a blog post. I'm not sure what I've done wrong. If you can help that would be great!

Thanks so much for sharing this information. I've read each comment and it appears that there are (were) several others with the same problem I'm experiencing.

I can post the button code to my blog just fine, but the image that is suppose to accompany it does not dispay - merely a red X.

I do not have the image hosted on Photobucket, it is on my computer, but I did post it in a blog to get the address for it. Any idea what the problem might be?

You can see it in my sidebar @ http://thebrambleberrycottage.blogspot.com/

Hi,
I checked your code several times against mine and followed it exactly but it still doesn't work. I'm using a flickr photo group address rather than a blogger address as the address the photo should take you to when you click on it. perhaps that is the problem?

It should work with any web address as long as the code is kept the same. If you want to leave me a comment with your email address I'll email you to get more specifics.

Very simple explanation, but I kept getting the same result many other people-code but no picture. I finally figured out what I was doing..and probably what others are doing..in case you want to edit the post to let people know. When you replace the IMAGE WEB ADDRESS, you already put in the http://. So when I copied the code, it put an extra http:// in the code in both spots. Simply taking that extra http:// out fixed it. Thanks for such an easy to follow tutorial! I have added you to my reader!
