I assumed you had already read my “How To Make A Button” ehow article and you are now ready to animate it. Here’s how to make your site or blog button animated by using online image editor website.
- You should have a blank button saved on your desktop.
If you doesn’t have one yet, see “Resources” below this article for some websites that offers free 88 x 31 buttons.
-
Step 2
Go to Online-Image-Editor.com website and upload your blank button there.
Let’s say you want a button that says, “Visit My Ehow.” Click the “T” icon from Online-image-editor website to type the word “visit” on your blank button. Choose the right font style, size, and color. Don’t forget to hit “APPLY” once you’re satisfied and done.
-
Step 3
Save the button on your desktop. It would be better if you save it with a different name, say for example, button 1.
-
Step 4
Upload the same blank button again from your desktop. (Point your cursor on “File” on the top left corner from the site and click “Open.”
-
Step 5
Repeat step 2.
Click “T” icon from online-image-editor site to type the words on your blank button. This time type the word “my.” Click “Apply” to save the changes.
-
Step 6
Save the second button on your desktop and give it the name button 2.
-
Step 7
Upload the blank button again. Type the word “Ehow.” Apply changes, and save it on your desktop again with the name button 3.
-
Step 8
Now you’re ready to make an animated button.
Point your cursor on “Effects” and click on “Start Animation Wizard.”
-
Step 9
Start uploading the three buttons you had made, starting with button 1.
-
Step 10
Click on “Create My Animation.”
-
Step 11
Save your newly made website/blog button on your desktop. Then, upload it to a free hosting site like Photobucket.
-
Step 12
Go to mybutons.piczo.com to copy the code and display the button to your blog or site so website owners or bloggers could use it to link to you.

Different blank buttons can be use though it is better to use the same blank button.
