Creating a Grab Button

How to create your own “Grab Button”

First, decide what picture or image you are going to use.

Second, upload to location/host of your choice such as Photobucket, Picasa, Flickr, Piczo, etc.

Third, copy the picture/image location and paste below where it says PASTE IMAGE LOCATION HERE (replace red-bold-letters)

Fourth, enter/type blog’s address (I am using mine-replace with yours) WWW.GABYCREATES.COM –does not have to be in capital letters (for illustration purposes only)

Fifth, replace GabyCreates with your blog’s name.


<div align="center"> <a href="http://WWW.GABYCREATES.COM" target="_blank"><img alt="GabyCreates" src="PASTE IMAGE LOCATION HERE"/></a> </div> <div align="center"> <form><textarea rows="6" cols="20"><center><a href="http://WWW.GABYCREATES.COM" target="_blank"><img alt="GabyCreates" src="PASTE IMAGE LOCATION HERE"/></a></center></textarea></form> </div>


You are now ready to add to your blog as an HTML/JavaScript gadget.

Sixth, Sign in to your blog- Click Design

-Click on Add Gadget (view of my sidebar - you can add anywhere you have a choice to add a gadget or even on a blog post)

-Click on + sign on HTML/Javascript option

-Type title such as “Grab Button” or your preference

-Copy the above code you changed and added your information and paste in body/content or bigger box

-Click save and Tada!

TIP: After you change the above code with all your information, you can additionally save it as a document for future reference.  Next time all you have to do is replace the Image/Picture's location!!

Hope this helps at least one blogging friend!  ~Gaby
