Linda's dashboard

I'm trying to create a simple button widget to link to my website. I can't understand any of the instructions on the Make a Widget pages or the Help area. I have no idea how to create the HTML code that will tell my widget what to do, put the right text in the widget, make it show up on the website and actually link to my website. YOu sent the last widget virgin to http://www.iWidgets.com -- that site apparently no longer exists. HELP!
