  Hi, I would like to put a ‘subscribe’ or ‘follow’ button on my website to my blog. I don’t want to add a widget, but an actual button on the landing page. Is there a way to do this?

  We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

  A badge or button or icon is simply an image that you link to. You can capture an image and upload it, link to it and display it in a text widget.

  For creating links in a text widget see:

  NOTE http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/#adding-an-image

  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
