Tutorial Tuesday: Re-sizing Buttons

Have you wanted to post a particular button linking back to a site you liked, but their button wasn't the size that you preferred? Or perhaps their button was too big/too small to fit in your sidebar?

Here's how you can easily re-size buttons so they fit perfectly in your sidebar.

1. If you don't know how to post buttons in your sidebar, click here to see my tutorial that can show you how to do so in a very easy way!
2. Your code should look something like the following (the link/image will obviously be different):

<center><a href="http://customized-designs.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac295/customsbdesigns/Spring/Button.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></center>

     3.  Now to change the size, you add the following code that I have highlighted in the code in the color purple:

<center><a href="http://customized-designs.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://i909.photobucket.com/albums/ac295/customsbdesigns/Spring/Button.png" width "150" height "150" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></center>

To show what the difference is, I transformed this:

to this:

Basically, it went from a 125 px X 125 px to a 150 px X 150 px.

Tutorial Thursday: Displaying Popular Posts

Blogger now lets your display your most popular posts (most visited) very easily.

Here's how you can display your most popular posts in your sidebar:

1. Go to the Design tab in your blog (top right corner if you are on your blog's main page).
2. Scroll down a bit and click Add a Gadget wherever you want to add the tag cloud (sidebar on the left or right, or at the bottom, etc.)
3. A pop up screen with pop up which says Basics. Scroll down until you see Popular Posts (it should be the second one). You'll see a + button in a blue square right next to it -- Click that.
4. Once you click it, another screen will pop up (that says Configure Popular Posts). Configure the settings to your liking.
5. Don't forget to save!
