So I searched the internet. I found several how to's. Some just didn't make any sense to me at all, some I thought I understood but when I tried it, it didn't work. That is until I fell on Parajunkee Designs blog. Her directions were step by step, simple, and even provided the codes and where to put them. She also described what all of the directions meant and why they had to be there. That's what I need to learn! Now I even know how to customize it for the future.
So if you are like me, (you don't have to admit it) stop on over to Parajunkee Designs
She can also create things like blog buttons, custom template and more for a fee if you want to just let someone else do the work. According to her profile she has 10 years experience as a graphic designer and web designer, with a degree in computer graphic design.
Check out her Free section for a couple of free twitter buttons, and templates. There are also a few more tutorials.I def took advantage of the twitter button too rather than the boring blogger twitter gadget i had. Thanks so much http://www.parajunkeedesign.com/
