A basic link
example: click here for my myspace
Where is says URL here in the code put the url of the page you want to go to. In the link above, i put http://myspace.com/ipukeglamour, my myspace page. Where it says text to be shown here write whatever text you want to be linked. in the link above i wrote "click here for my myspace" in that section.
Code:

Email links
These links are for email addresses. it will automatically open up your visitors emailing program with your email address in their send to box. replace NAME@EMAIL.com with your email address. replace TEXT HERE with the text you want to be shown.
Code:
Linking an image
example:
Where it says link url here copy/paste or type the url you want the image to link to when clicked. where it says image url here you put the url of the actual image. you must upload the image to a host like tinypic.com or photobucket.com. make sure you're linking the ACTUAL IMAGE (example: http://i14.tinypic.com/47sl7d4.png, it will have the file type [.png, .gif, .jpeg, .bmp, ect] at the end if you're linking the image.) and not just the url the image is on (example: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=534pqx5 there is no image type at the end of the url, which means its linking to a page, not an image. also, if it has .htm, .html, or .php its not an image, its a page). tinypic and photobucket give you the url once you upload the pic, which is why they are great for beginners. If you want to know how to find image urls yourself keep reading. if you're using fire fox, simply put your mouse over the image, right click on it, and then click copy image location on the little box that comes up. then just paste it into the code below. If you're using explorer you must right click the on the image and then go to properties on the box that comes up. another box will come up with the image properties. highlight the url that is labeled "Adresss: (URL)", copy it, and paste it into the code below.

You can change the font, button background color, and button border color with this button. pretty nifty.
Where it says URL HERE enter the url the button will link to. Where it says TEXT HERE enter what you want the button to say. where it says FONT enter the font you'd like (impact, verdana, arial, ect.) Where it says COLOR (after background:) put the color you want to be the background of the button. where it says COLORHERE (after color:) put the color you want as the border. all done!
