<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll309/wolfwindpack/Unused%20and%20Uneeded/IcenedBlades.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> is a basic affiliate HTML code. Actually, this is just a picture that leads back to photobucket.com.
The basic link tag for HTML is <a href></a>. The href section is is followed by an = and your website in quotes. The target="blank" section means that your website will pop up in a new window. If you do not like this, leave it out. This section of code ends with a >
The next part of the code is a basic HTML image code. img src means image source, or the image's URL. Again, this is followed by = and quotes, between which is places the URL of the image. I prefer the border="0" because the image will not be surrounded by a border that the website automatically produces. The alt section contains the caption that appears on a mouseover. For instance, put your mouse on top of any of the UTS affs, and most will tell you what the website is called. This allows you to put initials like IB on your banners and still have people know what they mean. This section of code ends with a >
The </a> section tells the website that the HTML section is finished. Without it, only pieces of coding appear while the website searches for the end.
Try it out. Post your new code in the global footer as a test. You may use any of the images I pasted in your cbox, or ones of your own. The standard affiliate banner size is 88x31. Most websites will not accept larger images.
