Here I have created three unique buttons as links to the indicated websites.
Reproduce them using the description of the button's UP, OVER, and DOWN postitions.
Observe the button before you clcik it, while the mouse is over it, and after you click it.

After trying these, create 3 NEW buttons of your own. Experiment with different effects.
