Subscription and Bookmarking Images

Today I added the buttons for RSS, Delicious, Technorati, and Digg.
I had found the ones I wanted on the www, but they were in one image.
The only solution I could find was to manually separate them.

Hence, today's photoshop project.

What I had to do was right-click "layer via copy" the best selection I could muster, and then fill in the left out white areas on a layer behind them.

All but the RSS were missing corners. I selected a corner of them and transformed the selection over the missing corner, then filled it in with white behind, like I said.

It was a big pain, though I was clever enough to get through it without a ridiculous amount of effort.

For those of you that want to use non-square images on your own blog/websites, here's how it's done:
- You save it as .png, having transparency.
- You upload it wherever (I use Photobucket)
- You include it in the code whatever way you is easiest. Basically you'll use an <img> tag.
For more info on the <img> tag, see Here.
If you're doing this and have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

My artwork for today is already visible, so of course I'm not posting under "artwork".
