Buttons For A Website

[mr ailsbury]

Hi guys,

I've just started a new BLOG on blogger.com and I wanted to add a button to my Vimeo/twitter pages to it.

I just want the THIS logo, or a similar one and the same for twitter so that when it's clicked you're taken to my profile pages.

I'd also like an interesting banner for the top of the page to replace the "Tom Amesbury Films" title.

If anyone is up for making these for me please let me know

cheers,

Tom

Well I realize this is pure HTML, and there's no fancy JS or whatever, but if you just want it simple:

A link is done by <a href="www............com">Link Text</a>

And an image is <img src="image url">

So you can have the image as the link by <a href="link"><img src="image url"></a>.

For your Vimeo: <a href="http://vimeo.com/tomamesbury"><img src="http://elektro-lux.net/ktv/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/0404-vimeo-icon-300.jpg" width="20%"></a>

The width="20%" is there because it's massive. You can set this by an absolute value (pixels) if you want. width=200 would make it 200 pixels wide, no need for inverted commas.

You should also host the image in your own webspace rather than hotlinking. Just good manners.

All of this is only from what I remember. You're best off waiting for Muel or someone

Paste this into the html of the page, where you want the logo to appear.

This links the vimeo logo to your vimeo profile.

<a href="http://vimeo.com/tomamesbury"><img width=100" height="100" src="http://elektro-lux.net/ktv/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/0404-vimeo-icon-300.jpg"</img></a>

If you want to change the size of the image, change the numbers after 'height' and 'width' As Aener said, if you just put numbers, that represents the amount of pixels that are present.
