Help! Blog button troubles. LOL

Trying to add a button for the first time.
I am following the directions from the lovely Holly.
I got as far as entering the code along with my photo from photo bucket.
I click my photo as you can see in the picture below then click the hyperlink, where my cursor is pointed.
 When I click the hyper link this message pops up.
An error has occured in this dialog.
Error: 100
Function expected.
What does this mean? What am I doing wrong? Why am I so computer illiterate? I used to know a lot but I guess I do not no much about the more update computer stuff.

Thanks for you help!

Blog Envy

Hello My Friends
 
I am still very new to Blogging so I am coming to you all for help.
 
Am I the only one that feels a little slow when it comes to blogging style? Lol.

When I visit your blogs I am envious of how awesome you have made them! How did you do it? I don't know if I want to pay for the services as of right now but are there any tricks to this?

My Questions
 
If you can tell me some of the things you did to your blog and how you did them? Or just share your ideas?
 
How do you add the "gadget" that shows other sites you are on. It shows the logo for FaceBook, Pinterest, Instagram, & Email. Your readers can click on the logo and it takes you to the link?
 
Link Up and Contact?
 
Grab My Button?
 
How do you add catagories? Some bloggers have them under their title. They say things like; Home, Recipes, About Me, Before & After, FAQ, Weight Loss, etc...
 
How do you get Sponsors? What does it mean to have a sponsor?
 
Do you use Instagram to get the side by side photos? Do you also use Instagram to add words to your photos?

Any other tips that you would like to share?

Thank you all for your help! :)
