1. First of all you need to upload the button to your computer.

Right click on the image and you should get a popup menu - click on Save Picture As...

choose somewhere to put that you will remember (the number of times I havve forgotten where I have saved a picture to!).

2. Next upload the picture to upload a picture hosting service - follow the directions for your chosen host. I use www.photobucket.com but there are others I am sure people will recommend depending upon what else you want to use it for. The purpose of this stage is to give your image a URL.

3. Find the URL your picture has been assigned by the picture host and insert it into your blogring code:

This is what the code might look like before this change with the bit we are going to replace in bold (this is the ring code for the crafty threads 'n' yarns) board

<table border=0>
<tr><td>
<div style="{padding: 5px; border: solid 1px #0000aa;}">
<center><b><a href="http://knittersyarns.forumhum.com/viewtopic.php?t=17">Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns</a></b><br></center>
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;action=addform">Join</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;action=list">List</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;id=***SITE ID***;action=prev">Previous</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;id=***SITE ID***;action=next">Next</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;action=rand">Random</a> |
<div align=right><a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/"><sup>Powered by RingSurf</sup></a></div>
</div>
</td></tr>
</table>

Here it is again with the change in bold (put the URL you have just got where it says YOUR URL HERE)

<table border=0>
<tr><td>
<div style="{padding: 5px; border: solid 1px #0000aa;}">
<center><b><a href="http://knittersyarns.forumhum.com/viewtopic.php?t=17"><img src="YOUR URL HERE"></a></b><br></center>
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;action=addform">Join</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;action=list">List</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;id=***SITE ID***;action=prev">Previous</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;id=***SITE ID***;action=next">Next</a> |
<a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/netring?ring=crafts100;action=rand">Random</a> |
<div align=right><a href="http://www.ringsurf.com/"><sup>Powered by RingSurf</sup></a></div>
</div>
</td></tr>
</table>

And that should be it! [/code]
