I thought I had figured out a name for my photography business.I needed a name for if I decided to go pro someday,and also so I would put a watermark on my photos.And to use for my photography blog,which i will be moving some things from my likethegold blog over to the new one once I decide.I had decided on "An Old Fashioned Girl's Photography".There's a bit of a story behind that.But then the name "Look for the Light Photography" popped into my head,and I think i might like it better.There's some stories behind choosing that name,too.Hmm...
They're both kinda long,but I seem to like long names.lol
I would love some feedback.Which do you like better?

Busy Days.......
Boy oh boy,have I been busy.Not quite too busy,though almost pushing that.
One of my friends let me borrow her camera,and I took at least 2,000 photos while I had it.I learned a lot of things,like learning how to shoot in manual.It was fun.I also got to do a photo-shoot with a friend.I'll be putting up pictures from that up on my new blog.
I think I finally have figured out my photogrpahy name,and I reserved a blog name for it on wordpress.It's "An Old Fashioned Girl's Photography".I have another wordpress blog,which was for my photogrpahy,but I didn't know what name I wanted,so i decided to make another,since I think I know now.So I'll just start all over,which is ok.i haven't gotten very far on the other blog.
And the giveaway ended a few days ago.I've been so busy i just remembered!Wow.lol
We have two winners,one for $40,and one for $15.
Congrats to Donna and Sally!

How to Make a Button For Anything and Put it On Your Blog
Long title,isn't it?Ok,so I recently discovered how to make a button that I can put on my blog,and people can click on it and go look at my necklace on the Fire Mountain Gem website.
A lot of how I found out how to make one came from this post.But I found a bit of it confusing and decided to write my own.
1.First of all,what you're to do is find a picture you want to use for the button.What you want it to be will depend on whether you are going to make a button for your blog,your website,a picture,or whatever.
The size of the image should be no more than 150px wide,usually,so that you won't have a problem with the edges of it being cut off.But if you have more space and know how much wider to make it,then you can make it bigger.Mine is 150 x 150.I used picnik.com to crop and size my pic,then used the "create" page to add text.Save it to your computer(don't forget to add .jpg at the end of the file name if you change the name).
Then you need to put your picture somewhere to create a link.Either photobucket or maybe flikr.I tried both of them,and for some reason that picture would not upload,so i gave up,and made a blog post with that picture.Then I could click on the photo and there would be a link for me to copy and paste.So keep that window up so you can copy and paste later.
2.Now onto the hmtl.I was having issues with the html showing up,but I googled and now i have it all figured out. :)
Here it is.Copy:
<a border="0" href="yourblogURL" target="_blank"<>img src="yourimagedirectlinkURL"/<>/a>
3.Once you've got that,go to your blog,and go to "Design",and then just make sure you're on "Page Elements".Find "add a gadget".Just make sure it's in the right place,though you can move page elements around later if it doesn't suit you.Then once that box pops up,go to "HTML/Javascript",and click on the plus sign.Paste the hmtl there.
Now see where it says "yourimagedirectlinkURL"?Erase that,while keeping the quotation marks.Now it's time to go to where you have your image and copy that link.Paste it there instead.
Then go your blog,or whatever webpage you're wanting to direct folks to,and put it instead of "yourblogURL",while still keeping the quotation marks as before.
Hit save,and you're done!
If you want to show me yours once you're done,or need any help,comment here,or send me an email at jennystreasuresforu(at)gmail.com
And feel free to share this post with anyone who needs it.There are buttons on the bottom for twitter,myspace and such,too.
Now I just need to make a button for my blog and who knows what else.Maybe twitter,or facebook.Fun. :)

It Works!
I figured how how to make a button so that people can view my necklace that is on the Fire Mountain Gem website!How cool is that!
If anyone needs help making a button for their blog or whatever,I'm more than happy to help.I'll probably post a tutorial of how I did it later.
