Joe, you may not know this -- it is hard to imagine, but you can always shoot me down for naivete -- there are button sites on the Web (I don't have any URL's to hand) with all kinds of custom buttons. They are just images, and you tuck them into a blue clicky thing just as you would do with anything else that you click on and it sends you somewhere through a link. The original of the button image would have to be sent to Max for him to put on his server, so it would come up locally as opposed to the distance image retrieval that some people are using blue clicky things to send people to.
yours, Peter T.
