Just in case you wanted a stinking badge

Adam Kalsey create a nifty badge generator, in case you don't know what a badge is here is the one we created: Visit the SiteBoxPro.com homepage

Ok, so their dorky and simple, but there inlies the beauty of the badge. Simplicity. Sometimes making something fancy or overly-ornate does not always translate to better. Which is our "Smart Things" tip of the week, if you can keep it simple, do so.

Think about the purpose of what it is you are creating, whether is be a simple badge (also refered to as sticker button) or an entire site. In the case of this button, the text is clear to read, and when linked will properly represent to the visitor what they should expect to see (the SiteBoxPro.com homepage).
Check out Adam's button creator at: http://www.kalsey.com/tools/buttonmaker/ , play around some as it might be a little tricky to get the desired widths of each box, but fun at the same time!
