I have recently started working on a new website for myself, inspired in part by making one for a good friend of mine. Furthermore after going to a workshop recently and seeing someone make 'onmouseover' buttons I decided I wanted some. So I set about making some...
The website for my friend and her awesome business for one reason or another is being made through wix.com so I though I would start there. They have nice templates and can produce a very aesthetically pleasing site quite easily, however there is no obvious way of playing with the html so... no onmouseover buttons here.
So I decided to go back to google sites which I have used before to see what I could do there. With the help of some html tutorial sites I made a nice piece of code which made a lovely button which grows when the mouse goes over it..

...which of course doesn't work in my blog as it doesn't in a google site.
So then what?
A bit of research led me to go hunting for a gadget to make this happen and after a bit of playing I found this one http://hosting.gmodules.com which very simply allows you to make nice buttons which pop out when your cursor passes over them. Job done!
Thanks to Paul Kern for the gadget.
To add his gadget to your site go to 'insert more gadgets' and search 'public' for image mouseover and you will see several. There are a couple of nice ones which change one picture to another but they require both pictures to be the same size which didn't fit my profile but they still worked well. Of course you also need to have the images uploaded to your site 1st.
