Are you struggling with drawing the logo or writing the code?

(and are you really sure you want to do that? It's a bit 20th Century)

The whole link exchange and "buttons" idea was popular around Geocites and such like. These days an external link would be, well, just that, something in-fitting with the linking site.

What's the context, are you talking about two hobbyist sites?

Right. Is that not down to her friend to decide, then?

If the friend has actually asked for a button, you just need to provide a small graphic - it's up to them to work out how to code it, it's their site.

(unless you're asking for advice on their behalf, of course, in which case j-me's link above has the code they'll need)

yes, that would work. except i'm guessing you dont know which bits to change?

< a href="[i]your web address here[/i]">
<img border="0" src="[i]root of image file here[/i]" alt="[i]alternate text[/i]" width="32" height="32" />

EDIT: obviously change the dimensions to suit.
