Introducing the New Blokester Buttons
Be COOL and grab your button now!
Hi there fellow Blokesters. I’ve been at it again.
Here are the NEW improved Blokester buttons a-la- web 2.0 style. I can make them in a variety of shapes, colours and sizes, so go ahead and grab one now for your sidebar while quantities last. 
They are light in weight and already optimized for the web. Be sure you save it as a png image if you want a transparent background, but if you prefer a jpg file let me know and I can email you. (The buttons in the right-hand sidebar are jpg).
If you make it into a clickable link to yours truly I’ll even give you an honorable mention right here at Blog Bloke.
Here is the code (below) to make it a clickable link. Just copy and paste it into your template (but be sure to close up the <> brackets). OR you can just right-click the image and save it to your desktop.
PROUD to be a Blokester:

OOPS! Thanks man for keeping me on my toes. I think I’m all shook up after Andy Beard’s shellacking.
VIVA LAS VEGAS!
By the way, congratulations on being the first Blokester to have a button.
[
Reply..]
Ok, not the first, but only because I can’t blog from work so much like I used to be able to. They actually want me to work. Whatever. I have my button linked to you now.
[
Reply..]
They actually want you to work! The nerve
Thanks Kirsten. I knew I could rely on you. You are the very definition of a Blokester. And come to think of it, I think I should write a Blokester manifesto with a definition. If you any ideas to offer let me know.
Cheers!

O.k., I tried but can’t figure out how to put a Blogster Button on my sidebar with a link. Help….
[
Reply..]
The easiest way would be to add a new page element (widget) in your template menu. OR you can just add it to an existing widget you already have.
To add a new widget, click on “add a page element” and choose “picture”. Just paste the url from my blog or upload it from your desktop if you downloaded it — and there it is.
[

I can put a picture of your button but I don’t know how to make it link to your blog when someone clicks on it.
[

Tica Macha, I’ve added the code now to make easier.

Nice flashy buttons bloke ! They shine like Christmas Ornaments ;o)

Thanks my friend. Take one. They’re free

Hi!
I’ve found your post to be very useful. I’m your permanent reader now!
p.s. BTW, what happened to your site template? Or is it just my browser?

Hello
As a fresh www.blogbloke.com user i just wanted to say hi to everyone else who uses this forum :>

I can’t make the buttons work. but, I build buttons and badges.. so I do know how to build my own and link it back here if that’s ok..

Hi Juice, all you need to do is close up the <> brackets. But if you design something new let me know so I can take a look.
