 * Dear developers,
 * I’ve been using CKEditor since the very beginning but now I found something that
   I am missing. I would like to insert buttons in my posts that would lead to an
   external website. How can I do that? Why is there no “Insert button” function?
 * thank you!
    Martin

 * Buttons are for form. If you want to lead user to external website you should
   use links.
 * Of course you can style them to look like buttons.
    To do so, you should prepare
   special CSS class and apply it to the link. Then of course add this style to 
   your front page CSS.
 * If you want to see the results while editing in CKEditor use the styles combo:
