RSS Ron Paul Button
03 Nov 2007 @18:26Regular viewers of AFdN might have noticed a Ron Paul button show up many months ago. However, I’m guessing only really observant readers might have noticed that they haven’t seen the Ron Paul button anywhere else on the Internet. Robert did and even sent me an email asking if he could use it. So here’s the skinny for everyone.
I’m releasing the Ron Paul Button image I designed:

You can either host the button on your site or feel free to hotlink to it using this code:

A little bit of history on the button. I created it because Ron Paul’s campaign site doesn’t have any buttons that I liked. So I designed one that I did like, using colors from the Ron Paul site. All the work was done in Photoshop and I still have the PSD if you really want it.
If I remember correctly, this 37Signals post was a big influence in my decision to make the button.
As a side note, I discovered that Robert Rodriquez also runs http://www.yourip.us/, which has immediately become by new favorite address for when I’m looking for my address. It’s fast, slick, well layed out, and some rather obscure, but potentially useful information.
Thanks for releasing the banner under the Creative Commons License and for the link to my other site.
I use to have a childhood friend named Andy Ferguson in Georgia. That was in the early 90’s (’91-’94).
What, you didn’t like the most popular sign created, (mine) on this site?

Also they missed FT’s the only one NOT red white and blue.

Mine is the Ron Paul sign at the bottom right side.
@Robert:
You’re most welcome.
@NH:
It’s not a bad button, but I think it looks to standard and it reminds me of those signs you put in peoples yards. I also wanted something that fit nicely in my sidebar.

Maybe you help inspire the widget page on Ron’s website Widgets? Thanks for helping to keep it real here in Washington.
