I downloaded the image to my computer and then to photobucket, but I am lost as to the URL. I can even figure out how to put it in my blog, but not without the URL. i am so confused – how do i determine the URL from the photo?

Her graphic was too large for her sidebar. You have two options: 1. Use the width and height tags in your img src code. It will look like this: <img src="yourgraphic.gif" width=100 height=100> You can change the number of pixels in the width and height to whatever you need for your sidebar (e.g., instead of 100, type 250). 2. (This is the better of your choices.) Change the size of your graphic to the correct dimensions in a grahics editor like Gimp or Photoshop and then reload. I hope that fixes the problem!

I put the button in a different blog as the only thing on the post. I clicked on the button and got the URL. I posted it into my template. The button shows up on my sidebar, kinda… it’s there but the picture is an “x” and you can’t get it to show. What am I doing wrong? OK, I have old blogger.
