Help!!

I'm trying to figure out how to add buttons to my blog. As you can see, I figured out how to copy and paste HTML snippets, but have no idea how to do it with other kinds of buttons. Like SP8. I tried to upload to Flickr, but they basically told me to get lost. New to Flickr too! Help me please!
Actual stuff to type in and where would be great. I'm ready for a good bout of the "bang head on wall until sense pounds it's way in" game. That or the "fist through computer" game.
