Default "Cute" Email Me Buttons

Hi all,

I am wanting to put an Email me button on my blog - you know the kind thats a little picture that says "email me" or "contact me" and you just click on that to send your email!

Does anyone know of any sites that have free ones to install?

Thanks

Karen

You should make one that matches your banner. Your banner is super cute! That way your buttons will have hte same look as the rest of your blog.

The code is easy. Upload your image (to a place like photobucket.com or where ever you store your images). Put a gadget where ever you want it with this code. Remove hte Xs.

<Xa href="mailto:[email protected]"><Ximg src="http://whereyourimageis.jpg" border=0>

Just my opinion though.

You'd need photoshop or paint shop. I'll give it a shot if you want. Be back in a few.

Okay. I don't know if you'll like any of these. I can do almost anything with these. Borders, colors, ect. So I fyou want something else le me know and i"ll try to help.

This is what I did so far:








I think that's the same font. It's Edwardian Script ITC. In case you ever want a signature or anything that matches that font.

This is fun.





I made a siggy too. LOL! It's transparent so it won't have a white box on your bg color. You don't have to use any of these. Just options. I'm having fun.

OMG!! I had to duck out to do a quick lot of shopping with the kids and came home - forgot I had posted this thread then went about playing in photoshop (which by the way I am hopeless at! lol) to see if I could figure something out - and I have..........I think!!

Mind you I LOVE all that you have done here and the one I have created is very similar to one you did too - great minds think alike! lol

The only thing I would like to do to mine is add a nice thin border around mine like you did in the first one - how on earth do I do that in photoshop!

Ohhhhhh and I love the siggy too - how do I get that to work on my blog posts - thats so cool!

I cannot believe you did all that in such a short time - and here's me done one in about an hour! roflol

Hugs

Karen

Cool! I would just do lines around the edges or make a new image that is 4 px larger, color the bg with the border color and copy the botton image into a new layer in the middle. Line is probably faster.

For your signature you can do this:
Upload your image (I use photobucket.com)
Go to Blogger dashboard, go to Settings -> Formatting -> Post Template.

Add <Ximg src="HTTP://YOUR IMAGE URL.GIF" border=0> and Save Settings.

You are done, you signature will display when you post. REMOVE the X up there before img.

Honestly, that's why I have 3 graphic programs. When one won't do what I want it to the others will. Layers are photoshop, text and borders I use psp. LOL
