I spent most of Tuesday trying to make another button for my blog -
A TUIT button -
The one that I talked about on Monday - HERE -
And I was having a heck of time - ;((
EVERY time I make a new button -
And I have made several -
I can NEVER get it right the first time!! - ;((
EVERY time I make notes outlining the steps -
To remind myself how to do it -
Notes on what code goes where -
So that I don't make the same mistakes the next time - ;((
The next time - same thing -
It doesn't work and I make even more notes - ;((
The next time - same thing!! -
UUUUGGGGHHHH!! - ;((
Tuesday I kept getting an error message -
"javascript void (0)" - ;((
I even tried to compare my new code -
To the code I used on my UFORIA button -
And wound up somehow messing up THAT button -
Then I messed up the Right-Handed Friend button -
So right about then -
I had HAD it with the dang buttons -
So I asked my tech support (My Other Half) -
To check out my “javascript” stuff -
And work his magic -
While I took my nap - ;))
I wanted to try again later -
But if it didn’t work -
I was going to have to wait until the morning - ;))
Computers are great -
When they do what they are told -
Otherwise they frustrate the heck out of me - ;))
I only have so much patience -
And I would rather spend it UNSEWING - ;))
Anyway -
After my nap I tried again -
And it STILL wouldn’t work -
THEN -
I thought that I might ask scraphappy at so scrappy for help -
She had just made a button for her new -
Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2014 - HERE -
Surely she knows how to do it - ;))
And guess what?? -
She had a new post -
All about How to add a button to your blog - HERE -
And she said that she -
found a nice "Grab my Button" code generator here: http://www.mycoolrealm.com/sandbox/gbgen/
WOOHOO!! -
EXACTLY the information that I needed -
An "app" for adding a Grab Button -
Grab My Button Code Generator - HERE -
And SO much easier than futzing with the HTML code - ;))
THANK YOU SCRAPHAPPY!! - ;))
So I made the button -
And I THINK it works -
But I need somebody to test it for me - ;))
Would somebody please try to copy it -
And add it as a gadget (HTML/JavaScript) to your blog -
To see if I did it correctly? - ;))
It should show up as a button on your blog -
That links back to my blog -
Major emphasis on SHOULD - ;))
THANKS!! - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Yep, it's working! I have it on my blog...
Thanks, Katie!! - ;))
I wrote all those instructions in my computer notebook just in case ....
If I get around to it, than I will have no excuse for not doing something ... so don't even tempt me!
I may have a round TUiT - but sometimes I don't have the time - or the money - or the energy - or the inclination - or the fabric - or a number of other things - so I still have a bunch of excuses for not doing something - haha - ;))
THX for posting this info. I don't know if I need to make myself a button yet but I know where to look when I do. Took me right to your blog so it works!
YAY!! Thanks, Linda!! - ;))
