Now for anyone reading this who does not have a Blog - you are probably wondering WTF is a Button? Have no fear, I shall educate you! A Blog Button is a generic term for an almighty technological nightmare for me!! But for others, who can actually manage to not go cross-eyed when trying to BE technological - it is a whole lot of funny codes added to a pretty picture which then can be added to a Blog so that other Blogs can GRAB A BUTTON. Like this...
My lovely friend Gemma, over at Pretty Bobbins, sent me the links for the tutorials today, on how to make your own Button. But try as I might, I could not get past designing the actual photo! Me + codes = FAIL.
In stepped another lovely friend Louise, from The Oz Material Girls! She is now, to me, the smartest human being on earth! Not only was she able to put a code together for a Button for me ONCE - but she did it THREE times! Because once I figured out how to put the pretty picture for the button together, I then decided to muck around with it until I got the above result. So thank You Louise!
What I did learn today (apart from the fact I am code challenged) is that I have a wonderful group of on-line friends. Yep, people I have NEVER met in real life, only chatted and socialised via Facebook and Email. Isn't that fab?!?!?
Another one of my on-line friends is going through a really rough time at the moment, so I just want you to all throw your prayers, wishes and positive vibes my way - so I can forward them to her.
To end, I ask you - Are you technologically challenged? Or am I on my lonesome?
You're so not alone! When I sat down to make a button I ended up cross-eyed with a headache and it took me all morning to make a button. Now I want to change my button and I'm too scared LOL It is a funny thing to have friend's that you've never met, but I'm so grateful for my online friends (including you!).
