How to Make Custom Tabs

I've had some requests to share how I make all my buttons and jazzy jazz, so I'm going to try to explain this! It's so super easy, but trying to write it out will be a challenge. Let's go!

I'll start with to share how I make my custom tabs, like this one:

I'm sure they're are easier ways (like buying them), but with limited knowledge and resources, this is what I came up with!

First you're going to need access to 2 programs: Paint and Word

To start, decide how you want your buttons to look.

If your picture is already in the shape you want then you can skip the next step.

Open Word and insert  your picture into a new document. Go to "picture shape" and choose the shape you want. (I use Windows 2007 btw).

Done? Great! Copy and paste that sucker into a Paint document. To do so, simply click Select, select all, and then right click and paste!

If your picture is ginormous you'll want to resize it to a relatively normal size. Honestly, I just guessed.

Add your font, in whatever shape or color you desire.

Save the paint document and open your Blog Layout page. Go to Add a Gadget, add a picture, and find your picture on your browser. Upload it.

You're done! Move that badboy to wherever you want it to appear on your page, and voila!
