I tried every Button Generator I could find, they all fell short… until I found Button Generator Pro. My needs were simple: I wanted the button to be nothing more than text that read “DOWNLOAD” with an arrow icon beside it. That button was to sit inline with the text of the file name, however no other button generator could do that. Try to put it inline and it simply wouldn’t do it. As I started using it, there were a few more things I wanted that weren’t there. I emailed Wow and they added the features in the next update. This happened three times. Incredibly responsive support, easy to use, and the only one that works. I wouldn’t waste your time with any other button generator when Wow makes the best one available.

Would be nice to have this integrated into TinyMCE instead of having to leave the post to go to the button maker to make a button.
Where is the “open in new window” option for opening hyper links when clicking the button?
