I am sooooo new to this and I am soooooo in awe over other people’s buttons! Ah. Love. hehehe<br><br>I like your blog layout btw...it’s clean and elegant.

I look forward to seeing what you write. Good luck! I'm not a writer, but it seems like there is a really great community here for writers with great support and tips. <br><br>Oh gosh, I'm right there with you about worrying over etiquette! I'm so worry I'll really stick my foot in it and not even realize and everyone will be looking at me all, "Ugh, look at what <i>she</i> just did!" But, the community here seems really nice and helpful, so I think all that worry is probably pretty unfounded. <br><br>I'm looking forward to reading more from you (and learning about your unique headwear. Seriously? That sounds awesome!)<br><br>Ok, so buttons. I'm not sure how helpful this will be, but here goes:<br><br>Do you have a program like Photoshop or GIMP? If so, then hopefully you know how to use it better than I do! I googled most everything (literally, I was typing in stuff like "How to make a new layer in Photoshop"). I didn't know what I was doing and I was able to figure it out, so it's not too difficult once you get past the initial "What the heck is all this stuff??" phase. The hardest part really is deciding on your picture. <br><br>Basically, you:<br><br>-Make an image you want to represent you in one of those programs and then save it.<br>-Upload it to something like photobucket or flickr (I used tinypic and that seems to work so far but might not be the best choice)<br>-I only know how to get it on your page using Blogger, but there's probably something similar. Look for something that allows you to add stuff to your sidebar. Do you have an option to add a picture? Add the picture you made for your button. <br>-Then, underneath your picture add this: <br><a href="YOUR%20WEBSITE%20URL%20HERE" rel="nofollow"></a><br> <br><br>You can adjust the numbers to fit the size you want. That *should* do it. <br><br>If you have any questions or that doesn't make any sense, feel free to email me: imagesandwords at optonline dot netSmall Reviewhttp://www.smallreview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704068707505574570.post-62807736224877338672010-12-09T10:48:53.000-06:002010-12-09T10:48:53.000-06:00Ha, ok, so the "Add this" part doesn'...Ha, ok, so the "Add this" part doesn't show up.

It took me awhile to figure out how to follow you without a GFC Follower widget but I think I figured it out. I'm such a noob. Oi, I worry about etiquette, too!

It's taken me a year to become even remotely "good" at it, but "good" is entirely subjective, as well.
