Here's what you do:
First select your picture, make your own button, or find the image that you want to use. Upload it to a photosharing site. I use Photobucket.

Click on Add a Gadget and select HTML/Javascript.

Make sure you leave the quotation marks in there.
<a border="0" href="your URL" target="_blank"><img src="direct link to your image"/></a>

Your done! Easy, right? Now go create your own! :-)
