You have to next an img link inside an anchor link. For example:

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.newlocation.com/send/click/here">
<img src="http://www.images.com/yourimagefile.jpg" alt="alt text">
</a> 


Suggest you read this: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

A couple of additions to what Statica posted.

<a href="link.htm" target="_blank" ><img src="/images/someimage.jpg" border="0" alt="some text"> </a>

target="_blank" will open the link in a new window. You don't want someone leaving your site and going to another one generally.
border="0" will turn off the ugly blue border around your image.

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.stores.ebay.com/watchesusa"target="_blank">
<img src="http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/8889/bannewhq0.th.gif" border="0" alt="alt text"></a>

The image you made is only 150 * 20 > http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/8...nnewhq0.th.gif

If you want it any larger, you'll have to do it with your editor... resizing with HTML ain't so pretty.

can you edit the code?
i used imageshack.us for hosting.

Your upload screwed up the size.

Try hosting it directly from your webserver. If you have a webserver, it makes much more sense to host the file from there; and looks more professional.

This is what it would look like if you used your upload and allowed HTML to resize it.

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.stores.ebay.com/watchesusa"target="_blank">
<img src="http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/8889/bannewhq0.th.gif" border="0" width="486" height="60" alt="alt text"></a>

Leave it at it's original size. width=486 height=60

If it still auto resizes it, take a look at hosting with photobucket.

Yes, I changed my user name.

I checked out your feedback: your business looks pretty lucrative so far, let's hope it stays that way
