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?

  3. Thank 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!!

  7. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  8. 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.

    I 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

  17. awesome tutorial! I've created my button, but the image does not show up... any thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  18. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  19. 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.
    Thanks!

  50. 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!

  78. 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!

  84. 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/

  137. Thank you for posting this! I've been trying to figure out how everyone has these cool buttons, but gave up, as it seemed too complicated and I don't have time to learn a new profession! You made this so easy! I will give you credit in tomorrow's post.

  141. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  142. Kathy,
    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.

    ReplyDelete
  151. You 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!" Which tells me nothing! I can't wait to try this! You are bookmarked, in my list of favorites and my best buddy! Thanks! Tina "The Book Lady"

    Yay! I have a but-ton, I have a but-ton! Oops! I twittered!

    Hey everyone! I now have a button on my blog that you can add to your blogs if you'd like! SUPER easy directions at: http://tiny.cc/84b1b

    http://twitter.com/familyliteracy/status/16727648345

    Seriously, thank you so much for great easy to read directions! My friends will be visiting you soon!

    You can see it at: http://www.familyliteracyandyou.blogspot.com
    I would like to put Family Literacy and You at the top - I still have to figure that part out!

    Thanks! Tina "The Book Lady"

  153. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  154. Just 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).

    Thanks again!

    ReplyDelete
  155. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  156. Oh 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.

    Would love for you to visit to see your advice put into action

    New button & direct link. That worked great. Thank you so much!!

    ReplyDelete
  177. 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!

    ReplyDelete
