button, button

[oiran]

So, do you have a website? Well, then, where's your damn link button?

I'm adding links to shaggirl's page, and making some changes to my own while I'm at it...and y'all don't have buttons. What's up with that? There are a surprising number of people who do manips and art who clearly know how to make things in Photoshop and...no buttons! Maybe I'm one of the few who is button crazy, but I just like them so much better on a link page than a bunch of text links. I realize that most link pages are just another form of "friends list" and probably not used all that heavily, but still...

I beseech you, give me BUTTONS. I may just have to start making random little bitty pieces of art and slapping your lazy, buttonless names on them if you don't provide them for me.

And, in the rambling section of tonight's post...this song (see current music) is about a guy killing his wife, so why is it so sexy? It's the howling, I think, and the sort of rolling drums.

Back on topic: BUTTONS, dammit!

What are the standard sizes for link buttons nowadays?

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

In terms of the "official" world, I don't know. Mr. G had asked me to make him some banners for actual paid ads awhile back and the dimensions were not nice, clean, round numbers...I think a banner was, like, 468 pixels wide and...I don't remember how tall.

In terms of the fannish, however, most of the ones I found when I first got interested in building a links page were 100x35ish, 150x50 or 300x100, so I've made mine (and the ones for the sites I've built) in those sizes. Basically, a 3:1 ratio.

Will this do?

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Yes! This is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about! BUTTONS!!!

Heh. Thank you. I'll stick it on my links page.

[twigged.livejournal.com]

Look at you still hard at work for me! W00t!

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

I do and do and do for you, baby.

And your HP porn was fucky hot but I'm still not reading anyone else's because I have Issues.

When I did the Intoxication Challenge, Meghan made links buttons for all the people entered who didn't have them. So if you check out this page, you'll find buttons for quite a lot of Smallville people. Because I like proper buttons too! Just, if you want to link to my site, please don't use the button there, or on my LJ user info page, because it's ugly! Here are a couple of prettier little ones, or I can make a different size if you prefer.

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'd grabbed one of the old ones (I like them, too, actually) but I'll use these instead. I also snitched some off your Intoxication page--thank you for the link. I used the second one with the Clark eye...if you made a 150-wide version of that, I'd switch out this little one ;)

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Your wish, and all that....

I'm feeling PSP challenged. Feel free to make a button for me, I suggest using the main image (a stylized cat) on my index page (http://www.catmoran.com) as a starting point. (I'd direct link to it, but I've disabled direct linking.)

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

I'm the nicest lady on all of LJ ;P

100x33

150x50

If you end up making something else you'd rather I use, let me know and I'll switch it out.

[akacat.livejournal.com]

Those are lovely, thank you!

[ex-marcasit.livejournal.com]

Here's my button for Dana! Buttons good. Yes. Yes.



(www.rapturesandroses.com) but you probably already knew that seeing as you have this button at your site

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yes, I've got you linked, and I'll stick you on Dana's, as well.

Didn't I do some sort of e-mail or LJ button squee back when I set up my page? I was so happy that you had a button!

[stopawhile.livejournal.com]

I've never really thought about it before, but I have buttons for *everything* except my actual webpage. How illogical of me! ;) Yay buttons.



p.s. I don't know if you saw my comment on Dana's LJ, but the website you made for her is *gorgeous*!

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

It was very illogical of you! It is a sad day when I am Arbiter of Logic!

I've got you buttoned, and I'll put you on Dana's, too.

And thank you re: her site! I am really happy with how it looks myself.

[rhiannonhero.livejournal.com]

Make a button for me while your at it. ;)

[rhiannonhero.livejournal.com]

while you're at it, even. Gah.

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

I made you one! It's on my links page if you want to see it ;)

[lexcorp-hope.livejournal.com]

I be havin' a button. It's not a very pretty button, but it IS a button:



Button, button, BUTTON!

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Because, yes, you were one of the people I meant when I was talking about the mysteriously non-buttoned artists ;)

[lexcorp-hope.livejournal.com]

LOL! I used to have beautiful buttons that Slodwick made for me, but when I changed the design on my site, they didn't match anymore! Truth be told, I sat down this morning and made this one at your prodding. See, you ask, I do! I'm like a puppet on a string! ;)

[stone-princess.livejournal.com]

I think you have all my buttons, but if not they are here:

www.kleinerplatz.com

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

I am so linked to you, and all buttoned up.

Your cute is showing.

[stone-princess.livejournal.com]

It is not showing! It's all covered up by these pants that should not be worn with these shoes and by my dirty, greasy hair.

[pun.livejournal.com]

You know I'm not really capable of making a button. You can just link to my site if you want. Or you can make me one which would be very cool and sweet of you!

[velvetglove.livejournal.com]

Cool and sweet...that's me - a dessert topping and a floor wax!

100x33

150x50

Feel free to use them on your page if you like them.

[pun.livejournal.com]

Oh look! It's a little film strip! So cool. Thank you!!
