Creating a Menu Bar with Buttons

I used this wonderful tutorial from Kim over at Seven Thirty-Three.  Here is her HOW TO: Create a Menu Bar.

Here are the buttons I created using PhotoBucket.  To add the text box, open for editing the image you would like to use (I used the flowers from my signature that I had cropped to get my Favicon) go to the layers tab and select 'duplicate', this opens up a large field so you can add a text box.  Delete the duplicate layer you just created (since you don't need it now), and add a Text Box under the 'decorate' tab.  Go back to 'layers', and 'select all'.  Make sure your layers line up the way you want, and then select 'merge'.  Save as a copy, and now you can edit the final size of your button.  All of my buttons are 55 pixels high by varying widths depending on the text.  I downloaded each button photo, so I could upload them into this blog post.  Now the pictures can 'move' by accident in the future!

  2. Kimberlee, I came to your blog and saw that fantastic menu bar and thought: how did she do that? Then when I looked carefully, I saw you had given a link to setting one up. Thanks so much. I may try this if I get adventuresome.

Pretty in Pink and Some Sparkles too!

A hat for my oldest in ballet pink (red heart yarn she picked) with some silver beads.  No pattern, and ended up running elastic thread through a couple rows to make it more secure on her head for now, until she grows into it some more. Matches a shoulder shrug knitted for her during her year of ballet lessons.

Add a ‘click-able’ signature to comments you make.

While blog hopping recently, I came across this fantastic tip listed on Be Our Best .  Jill has compiled her Top 10 Blogging Tips in one place to help others out there in blogland.  Most of them I had heard of before.  But she had one on her list that I have only seen a couple times in practice, and have not heard a how-to do it before. Number 6: Add a clickable signature to your comments. If you add the following text to the bottom of the comments you leave for other bloggers, whatever text you insert for “Your Text Here” will be clickable.  You have to switch out “{“ and “}” with “<” and “>” then it will work.  Remember to also change the “Your Blog Address” part, LOL! {a href=http://www.YourBlogAddress.com/ }YOUR TEXT HERE {/a} Bonus Tip ~ I use Notepad to store all the html codes I use on a regular basis {the direct link code for my signature image, color codes, etc.}.  I added the above code to my Notepad page, edited it with my information, and saved it.  Now all I
