Create a Gmail button for your Blog

By Blog Bloke May 4th, 2006 | 56 Comments Buzz thisBuzz it Share this on Facebook

Have you ever wanted one of those cool looking Gmail buttons for your email contact link? I know that I have. I’ve been secretly suffering from button envy — but praise the Lord no more! (As evidenced in my profile @ the sidebar).

So if you count yourself as one of the envious then check out the E-Mail Icon Generator and make your own. For a complete list of Gmail tools and plugins take a look at Rob’s Blog. And while you’re at it, why not obfuscate your email address so that the email harvesters won’t spam you?

So cool.
