Hello to all you bloggers!
Use this easy tutorial to create a blog button. Having a blog button enables other sites to easily link to you and visual links are more likely to get clicks as opposed to text links. Its also a great way to enhance your blog's theme by tying it in with your header, chosen colors, fonts etc.

The ideal blog button should:

-Represent YOU
-Intrigue readers and/or buyers
-Have readable text, or no text at all
-Have minimal clutter

Why 150x150? Most blogs use 150x150 as a standard size. If you want to be featured on a blog sidebar, having it sized already will save you time later on!

Step One:
Head on over to Picmonkey to get started. Its a free service!

Step Two:
Choose a photo you like with minimal details.

Step Three: Crop your photo too 1000x1000 using the Crop tool

Step Four: Adjust colors, play with free features and add text

Last: Crop again to 150x150 .
