Buttons, instead of links

How can a create buttons for my site..instead of links..Buttons look much nicer..

Like a button that would say email, or another button that I can put on other pages in my site to return visitors back to the homepage?

Rather than linking text

HTML Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com">GOOGLE</a>

Link an image

HTML Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com"><img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif" /></a>

But I am not wanting google..just say it's just to another website..will that
layout work with any website I want to link to with a button look?

[John]

Yes, you replace

Quote:

http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif

with the button image you want and

Code:

http://www.google.com

with the link where you want the button to point to

Do you understand..I don't want google..Do I have to have a logo to make a button?

[John]

You have to have a button (which is an image) to link to

So where do you get that..say an image to link too..How do you go about doing that..I know several places asked me to give them a link for my homepages logo..I dont have a homepage logo..nor do I know how to makeone.

You can find free buttons on the internet, or you can make your own using photoshop or something similar

Does Photo Shop require alot of programming knowledge?

Here is some code that may help you. With it, you can get a regular button such as the buttons below the "Quick Reply" box on this page.

Code:

<a href="http://www.google.com" STYLE="text-decoration: none"><input type="button" value="Caption"></a>

Just replace the link to Google with the URL of the page you want to link to and the Caption with what you want the button to say. Make sure to leave these in quotes. Enjoy!
