I can't put the code directly into the blog post because it treats it as code and does what it says to do.

Success, except that my code doesn't show up in a nice neat little box like the one on your site. All I've got is an ugly string of HTML code that takes up a lot of space. Will that lesson be Part II? At least now you can head to my blog and capture my button :)Lori Hatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675180460653949981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-73194818785945015732012-08-14T21:21:05.354-04:002012-08-14T21:21:05.354-04:00Edie, how can I copy the HTML code you show as an...Edie, how can I copy the HTML code you show as an example in a way that I can edit it? Because it's a live link, it won't let me highlight and copy it. The only way I can copy it is to copy the image, but then I can't edit it to replace the highlighted parts with my own information. I tried typing the whole code in by hand, but I"m sure I missed a space or inserted one where there wasn't, because when I put it onto my site, instead of getting my nice button picture, I just got the characters I had typed.

I LOVE your button!! (I would normally be very resistant to using a picture of myself but I do have some headshots to play with thanks to Mary Denman!) <br />And...I have made a few blog buttons before for specific topics on my blog and I have *never* heard of putting the photo in a draft post. That is GENIUS!<br />I'll be back with a button...this is going to be such fun!
