Excellent question, Ashley! Most themes these days include pre-styled buttons you can insert as a shortcode. Here's an example of what a shortcode button looks like: [button url="https://destination.com" size="large"]Button Text[/button] Still other themes include CSS styles, which you can apply to any link, by adding a 'class' to the link code. You may need to switch to the text editor to do so. Here's an example of what code might look for a button: <a class="button" href="https://destination.com">Button Link Text</a> You'll create a link as normal, then edit the code for the link to add the part that says: class="button" If your theme doesn't already include support for buttons, you might install a plugin like the Buttons Shortcode and Widget plugin, which will add the ability to create buttons on your site using a shortcode, as demonstrated above. So those are the various methods for adding a button. Remember, a button is really just a link that has some added styling to provide the colored background, rounded corners, and text link color. Hope this helps!

Why not create a button from a graphics site like cooltext. Once you have it, upload as an image, insert into your page, and then link to it for whateve site you want to direct people. My solutions are probably juvinile, but this works.
