(and it's camped itself out in my sidebar over there <---- too!)
I have finally figured out the button thing thanks to PhotoBucket.
(I know, you're thinking, do I need another image site? I already use flickr....)
You make your cute little graphic. I use Gimp but you could use PhotoShop or a paint program or whtatever. Gimp happens to be free.
Then you upload to PhotoBucket and it gives you lots of choices for your graphic -- including the code for embedding. I just change the code so that the link is to my own site (or wherever I want it to go) and the "alt" is for something more to my liking, so that when you run your mouse over the graphic, you get whatever words I want you to see! (Run your mouse over my button to see...)
Maybe lots of people already knew this but I didn't! I love it when people give me code to do their buttons instead of having to right-click and save their graphic...so I finally figured out how to do it! Hooray!
Now I'm off to San Diego and I'll be posting hopefully lots of fun stuff from there...and hope that the ice storm doesn't affect my flights!

At the risk of sounding like my (almost) fourteen year old son, you ROCK, Phyllis! I can wait to try this.
I've never heard of Gimp before! This is great!!
I was wondering how you do that...Thanks!
Cool! Cool! Cool!
And congratulations for being selected!
I have heard quite a few nice things about Gimp. I have Photoshop CS2 Suite, so I haven't tried Gimp, but on one group that I am a member of, people have been very complimentary of it.
Thats great, I've been meaning to try Gimp. Lazy lazy me.
Thanks so much for this lesson, I've always wanted to learn how to make buttons!
