Clickable Gmail link

In the sidebar I have ...a clickable email link to my gmail account. I found this at E-Mail Icon Generator. The instructions they gave were rather vague. (At least vague to me. I need indepth explanations.)

I finally figured out how to make the image clickable. Add this code to where ever you want the link substituting your own information in the red areas:

<div class="component">
<a href="mailto:your email address here"><img border="0" src="the url they supplied" border="0"></a>
<div class="componentContent">
<p align="center">
<small><a href="http://services.nexodyne.com/email/">Get your GMail button here</a></small>
</p>
</div>
