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.)
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>
</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.
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.
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.
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?
Add here's what the gadget section should look like on your blog.
What to know how to leave an embedded link in a comment?
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!
It WORKS! Thank you so much! I'm so thrilled right now that I made a blog button for an upcoming series of giveaways and now I can share it! :-) Thanks again!

What a great "how to"! I think I will link to this is my weekend link love.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this. I have tried to make buttons a couple of times, and have had terrible trouble with it. I'm pretty html savvy (I think!) but everywhere I've found directions has been convoluted or confusing at best. I am definitely going to link your post here as well. THANK YOU!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing this many new bloggers like me need it
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU! I have been wondering how to do this and have been unable to find instructions. I am definitely going to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI want to tell you THANKS SO MUCH for the easy to understand tutorial. You can check out my button on my blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you....I want to make buttons of my own....and I was sure I could do it.
ReplyDeleteNow 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.
ReplyDeleteIf you've been given permission to use it in anyway you wish then I'd say go right ahead.
Thanks for sharing this! I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteGood tip...If it weren't for my techy hubbie I never would have known how to do it. When I was new to blogging I searched and searched and couldn't figure it out.
ReplyDeleteWay to share!
:)
Yea - this is wonderful. I keep having to have others do this, and I would love to have my son do it for me.....lol. :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone just blogged a question about this today. I will be directing her to your post. Thanks again for the one you made!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteHeather
So happy I found your blog, I could have never posted my button without your post....it finally worked and I am thankful.
ReplyDeleteI still need to grab a picture for by button but this is so easy to follow, thanks! I got your name from Heather over at Just Doing My Best! Thanks again, Shannon at Up Too Early
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing, it worked!
ReplyDeleteI only have a problem and was wondering if you knew what I did wrong. When I try to grab my code button I can´t do it by right clicking and copy. I tried to do it again several times and just doesn´t work. If you can help me out, please email me at pilar@spainforchrist.com
And who said I was a technotard? Look at me now...I just created my very own button! Thanks to you guys I have a reason to brag about my html skills. Wow.
ReplyDeleteawesome tutorial! I've created my button, but the image does not show up... any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteThis 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?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Yeah, I did it! It's a very "simple button" but it took me days of tying. Your tutorial was great, I'm just techno challenged.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I needed to make a button after I won free advertising in a contest. I used photoshop.com to create my button and followed your simple instructions!
ReplyDeleteIT WORKS! :)
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much, I was wondering how everyone had a button except me? Now I do!! It worked.
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
Lori
It works!
ReplyDeleteTake a look at my blog please..
Thank you
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!
ReplyDeletethanks this was just what i needed!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the easy directions. I would never have figured it out without you.
ReplyDeleteOkay.... so I tried to do this and am able to create a button on my page, but when I post it onto my blog you don't actually see a button. Just a little box with an X and my blog title next to it. When you click it it takes you to my page, but I am not sure why the actually button isn't there. Can you help?

Gratefully,

ReplyDeleteEverything is working and looks fabulous on my blog but when I copy and paste it in to a post there is some extra "/> beside my picture ?
would you mind looking at this and seeing if it is something I can get rid of ?
Again thank you so much

ReplyDeleteI only have one problem that I am not sure how to fix. Part of my code is visible under my picture (before the actual box with the code that others can take...can you help?)
:-)
You rock! That is awesome! THANKS
ReplyDeleteHI! Thanks for the tutorial~! One little problem, I was hoping you could help me with?? The button 'copy and paste box' is showing up ... but not the actual button(Picture). I am pretty sure I followed the directions correctly. Can you help??

ReplyDeleteTHANKS SO MUCH...Jen
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I found this tutorial extremely useful and it works!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this it was so helpful! I followed the steps and I'm only having one problem....
ReplyDeleteMy 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!

Thank you! I've been trying all night with other directions and then found your easy code and it worked! I linked back so others won't be discouraged like I was. =)
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome I can't even say! Thanks so much for the helpful information. I have been wondering how to do this for a while.
ReplyDeleteWorked the very first time. Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteUgg. I feel stupid about three seconds I sent you that message I figured out that I hadn't been scrolling down to get all the code in the box. Oh man I've just spent a good hour of my life being stupid. Ug. Don't publish that first comment with my email in it. Thanks, your tutorial really was great I was just having a brain spasm.
ReplyDeletethank you for the tutorial, Ive done mine amazingly!
ReplyDeleteThank you for a great tutorial! I am having a problem too. While it works part of the code is visible above my button and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. if I erase it when editing then the pic doesn't show up right.

I followed your tutorial for putting my button in my blog but for some reason didn't come out right. Button doesn't show, I don't know what's wrong.
ReplyDeletehttp://jylasthreeofusgiveaway.blogspot.com/
WOOOHOOO! It worked! This was ENORMOUSLY helpful for me! Susan at Fiberdoodles shared your post with me. I ran a contest for Halloween giving away a $25 Shutterfly card. I awarded bonus entries to anyone who could tell me how to do this. That's when she left your link. Of course, it took me until now to finally brave up and try it, but it worked! It really worked! (I also needed to make a button first...that's what the hold up. Finally figured out how to do it too.) Anyway, THANK YOU for making this so easy!

ReplyDeleteOooh...and thanks for the heads-up about Picnik. It's awesome too!
Oops...sorry, I was bouncing between several different blogs. I mentioned Picnik in my last comment, and I didn't get that tip from your blog, BUT, I did use your button instructions and they were GREAT!
ReplyDeletei tried it a couple of times but my image was always gigantic. i have no idea what i'm doing wrong.
ReplyDeletemelanie(dot)myatt(at)gmail(dot)com
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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/

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this great tutorial! If you don't mind, I will send people here for it! It was very easy to follow and it worked. I just figured out how to make the button and now I can share the code thanks to you. Bless you!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI 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?
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
~Allyson
This worked beautifully. Thank you
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! I look forward to trying this soon.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to do this 5 or 6 times your instructions were the easiest to follow and gave me what I was looking for a grab my button feature thanks so much I will be giving you a shout out on my blog today!

ReplyDeleteYou would not BELIEVE how much time I've spent trying to search for directions or asking other bloggers where they GOT their buttons! I couldn't get an answer from other bloggers, there's a small crew of us that are doing the "if you find out how please share", and from a marketeer all I got was "go to photobucket!"

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!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to post quickly that this was helpful for me. I used about three different blog button tutorials - and this one helped me figure out the end bit (ie: I had the button, but the box wouldn't work - and with this, voila! suddenly everything is good).
ReplyDeleteThanks again!
Okay you just made me feel genius! I did it - made a button, hosted on photobucket and added to blog! Wahoo! :) Thank you Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I feel so much better now. All of a sudden I realized my buttons were missing and I had no clue where to find the blog I had originally found with the post on how to put them back up. You are amazing thank you for sharing with all of us.
ReplyDeleteWould love for you to visit to see your advice put into action

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the easy instructions! I have been googling how to make a blog button and your tutorial was the easiest to follow. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteHi - I'm trying to add the button I made and I accidentally hit something and shrunk the page so I can't read it (in blogger) - I think I hit a CNTRL somthing - how do I make the page 100% again?
ReplyDeleteIdeas?
Thanks for the tutorial. I have been wanting to creat a button for some time now but did not know how..

Thanks so much, I made a button of my own and posted about it with a link to this post. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Thank you Thank you. I have been searching all over the place for an easy way to do this and you provided it. Thank you one more time.
ReplyDeleteThank you soooo much for sharing this tutorial!!! I have tried a few other tutorial for this and couldn't get it to work right. This one was very easy to understand and I now have a Scroll Box! YAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt worked much better for me when I made a new button. When I tried to get code from an existing image on Photobucket the code just didn't work.
New button & direct link. That worked great. Thank you so much!!
Wow, I finally made a button! If I change anything, will the button change automatically on other peoples blogs? Also, I am starting a Linky party, how do I get this little button to take the user directly to the link party? I am looking around for the best one to try, any suggestions? Thanks, this was a God send!
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much! It worked beautifully and simply. I've wanted a button for eons, but just never got around to it and didn't know how to add the code box. Thanks again! ;-)
