I made this Blogger button for anyone who wants an alternate to the official one. It is a PNG file as I couldn't make a GIF without some loss of quality. There are probably more official Blogger buttons hosted on the Blogger server somewhere but I can't find them anymore. If anyone knows where they are located please let me know and I will post the information. Hey, don't link to these images! Save them to your own directory.
