Making this link in a green box

[Richard Brown]

Alex, how are you?

I am trying to add this link and have it appear in a green box.

<a type="button" href="https://www.lilienbrown.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/myevents.ics">Add to Your Calendar.</a><p></p>

Hey Richard, how does this answer work for you?

I do not think it does. I had used the code you had sent to do the affiliate and changed only the link, and it did not work, and it only appears as text with the link.

This is the link to the page. https://www.lilienbrown.net/celebrate-jan/

This code it should be class="button".

Maybe that's the issue? I see this in your sidebar too:

That worked perfectly.

For the one on the sidebar, should I change that to class?

On that one, I would like to say more Get Marketers Delight. I would like to encourage others to use your theme. Any suggestion on language?

You could replace that with the same button. You can also change colors like this:

<a href="orange button">Button text</a>

<a href="dark button">Button text</a>

<a href="blue button">Button text</a>

Not every color is supported so you can set a custom color like this:

<a href="button" style="background: pink;">Button text</a>

Other classes:

1. button-small
2. button-large
3. button-outline
4. button-arrow

Example:

<a href="orange button button-arrow">Button text</a>

You can even throw font icons into the mix. See MD > Site Design > Font icons for a list of icons you can use, then put them in a button like this:

<a href="blue button"><i class="md-icon-user"></i> Button text</a>

Change the user keyword to a different icon loaded in your Font icons manager.

I hope that gives you some creative ideas.

I appreciate that! The above is a good start, but it will probably be better if I made a few banner images for the affiliates program so you can just use those. Let me get back to you on that... I will put them in the new affiliates area in your redesigned MD.com account area.
