Text Links
Blogger and most other programs can automatically make text links. Previously we had to write out code like this:
<a href="http://bigblogdir.blogspot.com/">Big Blog Directory</a>
...to produce a text link like this:
Big Blog Directory
Text links to BBD are fine. Please remember to use the full name.
Image Links
Using images to link to BBD is easy once you get the hang of it.
An image link usually consists of a button with a symbol and/or some text. The image is uploaded to Blogger or another server just like any other image or photograph.

The code above is the URL (or address) of the image. I called this one "button1." Blogger added a lot of information which I removed. The URL is all I needed.
To make the button a click-able link you need to set it up like this:
<a href="http://bigblogdir.blogspot.com"><img src="http://photos1.blogger.com/
blogger2/1176/373809733834064/320/button1..png"/></a>
The code above produces an image link to Big Blog Directory:
Here is a different style of button you may use:

These are my 'standard' buttons. You can also use the ones on my BBD Buttons page.
In most cases it is best to copy the image to your computer then upload it to your blog. If you are really stuck use the image URL I supply.
Because of the length of the image URLs in the above examples I have had to break them up between lines. Copy the code below and insert the image URL.
<a href="http://bigblogdir.blogspot.com"><img src="IMAGE URL"/></a>
Note: The blue button was made with Banner Maker.
