Grab Buttons

Hooray!

Have you ever visited blogs with those great "grab buttons" on the sidebar? You know the ones where there's a great BOM or swap going on and you want to participate and "not" forget each month.... well, I've always wanted to learn how to place the buttons on my sidebar and actually tried many times and failed terribly.  The other day, my friend Betsy suggested that I try again what with my new BOM - Leafing Through The Year just starting.  I thought about it and decided to try again. I googled "how to....." and started my search.  Oh brother, did I mention that I'm very, very bad at understanding and following instructions.... very, very bad. After a frustrating hour of trying, I stumbled upon THIS LINK and was happy to discover that I had only to type in a few commands and widget in an HTML and TaDa...... my button appeared on my sidebar. This site makes it so easy, that even I can manage it.
I just had to share this with everyone because I know that there are a few of you who are just like me.... you know who you are!
A huge Thanks to Betsy. You lit a fire under me. Now, if that would just carry over to my sewing projects......  SMILES!
Happy BUTTON making!
