Chicklets...a blast from the past

quotes1
Hi!

I just commented on your post, Optimize your blog for mobile devices, and read a couple of your other articles. As a blogger myself, I am impressed.

I also just added your I Love BlogU button to my brand new Hacker Study (http://www.hackerstudy.com) blog.

Could I trouble you for the info, how or where did you make that button? I have several Blogger hosted blogs and I would really like to provide these buttons for my readers as well.

Considering that you have lots of tweaks for Blogger, I will be visiting you on a regular basis.

Sincerely,

Tom

Well, this is the little button he was talking about.   I made it ages ago when I was in love with Chicklets. A Chicklet is an 80x15 button. Very exact on the size. If it's not 80x15, it is not a chicklet! I had a gazillion in my cellar on BlogU. But, I have since house cleaned and left only this one little chicklet to give away to anyone that wants it.

If, you want a Chicklet to brand your site, or profess your love for clouds, Firefox, trees, iPhones...or whatever...these are the sites you can go to make them.

  1. Brilliant Button Maker By the way, this is the one I used to make my Chicklet because it allows an image to be used.
  2. Just another button maker
  3. Adam Kasly Button Maker This site has a nice clean design, which may appeal to you.

And this is just a collection of Blogger Badges a.k.a. antipixel buttons, chicklets
so you can see what all can be done with these little snazzy buttons.

  1. Hi Annie! Just wondering.. how would you make a link in a blog which in it will take you to that part in a blog? Don't get it? Here's what I mean..
    For example, "Steps on Baking Pastry:" There will be list of the steps first then, the steps. For ex., you click "Step 8: Putting it in the Microwave", it takes you to:
    "Step 8: Putting it in the Microwave
    Put it there for 3-5 minutes until...."
    ?? Just wondering.. Would be glad if you answer back!

    Thanks, Annie!

  17. I love those little pixel buttons. Another option if you're handy with Photoshop is to just zoom in and manipulate the pixels. You just need some wingdings style icon fonts and some of those cool pixel letter fonts, and make sure to disable anti-aliasing.
