Hi.
I'm pretty new here, and I'm wondering where/how everyone makes their badges for etsy/facebook/DA. I also wish I could embed a link into the banner I have in my sig, but I can't get it to work with html code.

Any help would be awesome :)

Hi there!

The way to use an image as a link is very easy. For example, you will see I have a banner and a number of buttons in my sig. They all link the same way.
So... for my blog I use the following code in my sig:

[#url=http://blackmageheart.wordpress.com/][#img]http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k123/ ... a/sig1.png[/img][/url]

Without the #'s, of course. Use the url tag to specify where you want your button to link to, but instead of text between the tags, use an IMG link to a button or similar. Does that make sense? If not, I'll be happy to assist you in making a functional sig! :D

Actually, that's all I needed to know. I wasn't nesting when I should have been, and that actually solves the problem. Thanks a lot. I just need to find the cute little squares you have for Facebook/DA now :)

Do let me know if you'd like the set of buttons they come from - they were a free resource and I would be more than happy to send them to you and anyone who wants them, save you going on a google mission! :D

That would be awesome actually. Thanks.
Sorry for dredging up an old thread, but I don't come forums too much anymore.

Hmmm I'm starting to think possibly some social media themed bookmarks could make an interesting small project. Thanks for the pack
