Picture Link

Thanks to my awesome friend Kristal I have learned how to make a picture a link and thought I would offer to share it with you. I got smart and decided to put the code as a picture so it would let me share the code. Here's the code with directions underneath. To see the code larger, click on it:


Go into your customize page and select Add a new page element and select the one that says HTML/Javascript. Put in the above code and replace the www.siteyouwanttogoto.com with whatever site you want linked. Then using a picture hosting site such as Photobucket, load the picture and then copy and paste the DIRECT LINK into the code where it says yourpicture.jpg. Easy as that. Now, if you have any questions let me know :)

Edited to add: To do links on the side of your blog like mine, you need to size them to bout 125 pixels on each side and 72 dpi. Also, if you do it wrong the first time and try uploading a picture to photobucket again you have to name it something different and then paste the new link.

Melissa,
Thanks for the tip! I loved the rounded corners post too! Quick question. Which blog template do you use that lets you have such a big header, without any borders?

Thanks!

Andrea :)

i think to have the bigger blog header you have to have a different html code that you paste directly into the body of all the html for your blog. I haven't done it in such a long time that I"m not really sure what it is anymore I just have it saved and paste in the image code. but for it not to have a border, I make the borders white or whatever page color your background is where you can customize your colors.
