 * My apologies, I forgot to place the code between backticks on my previous post.
 * I am trying to create simple html buttons to carry out functions.
 * I can create the buttons…but they will not carry out the function??
 * EXAMPLE A: (like the look does not work)
 * `<button><a href="http://dudewalker.org/music/" target="_self">Music Archive</
   a></button>`
 * EXAMPLE B: (works…don’t like the look)
 *     ```
       <FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="http://dudewalker.org/music/">
       <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Music Archive">
       </FORM>
       ```
   
 * I can create a png image and use the function…however, it adds a lot of code 
   to a simple function.
 * Any suggestions…?

 * You can style either an `a` or an `input` to look like a button. This part of
   wp-admin.css should give you an idea of what to do:
 *     ```
       #postcustomstuff .submit input {
       	text-decoration: none;
       	font-size: 11px !important;
       	line-height: 16px;
       	padding: 2px 8px;
       	cursor: pointer;
       	border-width: 1px;
       	border-style: solid;
       	-moz-border-radius: 11px;
       	-khtml-border-radius: 11px;
       	-webkit-border-radius: 11px;
       	border-radius: 11px;
       	-moz-box-sizing: content-box;
       	-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
       	-khtml-box-sizing: content-box;
       	box-sizing: content-box;
       }
   
       a.button,
       a.button-primary,
       a.button-secondary {
       	line-height: 1.2em;
       	-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
       	padding: 4px 10px;
       	white-space: nowrap;
       }
       ```
