  Okay, so I’m drawing a blank on how to add a button from another blogger into a post I’m writing. I know how to add it to my sidebar through Widgets, but how do I get it into my blog post??
  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If the code works in a text widget which is for HTML then it will work in any post or page provided you use the Text HTML editor.You open the post and you switch from the Visual editor to the Text HTML editor and paste the code into it.

  A button is simply an image that you link to. You can upload image files by clicking the Add Media button right above the editing area of a page or a post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-media/

  You can also upload new files to your Media Library using Media → Add New. http://support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new

  Thanks! It’s definitely a work in progress and I need to make the time to work on it, because somehow there is just never enough time in the day!
