What is the HTML for linking to my site?

And if you ant to link to your site using a BANNER or other IMAGE (must end in .jpg, .gif, .jpeg or .png), here's the code:
Note the color coding. The blue parts are referred to as TAGS. The green are quotes - I made them green so you won't forget them! If you do forget them, none of this will work. If none of it works, check to see if you forget them!
The red tex is that part that you change.
There are other little tidbits you could add in there, like a title...but that's another lesson. :)
As always, I highly recommend learning HTML at W3 Schools.
OH, if you think it was mean that I posted these as images, well, everytime I tried to post code it got goofy on me and I wasn't up for the task of finding out why. :) And it's good for you to type it yourself.

How do I make a banner??
So, so, SO many people ask "how can I create my own banner to promote my business?"
My answer is easy. Just buy them from me! But if you're dead-set on making your own, let me help!
Here are some sites that help you build one online - I've rated them (not in order). There aren't a LOT on this list, but it's a place to start! If you have some good ones, comment me!

BannerBreak.com

Cons: The color picker pop-up was a dead link. Not so helpful! You'd have to know your HEX colors or look them up elsewhere.

BannerCreator.nu
http://www.bannercreator.nu/banner-maker.html
Pros: Lots of options.
Cons: It was extremely difficult to figure out what setting did what. I had a hard time making a decent banner so the one above is the one generated by their default settings.

MyBannerMaker.com

Pros: Extra effects to choose from. Provides source code and image hosting for link-exchanges. Overall a decent service!
Cons: Lots of settings. You really need to take some time to tinker with things to get exactly what you want. Not for those who need instant gratification. Banner also displays the MBB logo.

123-Banner
http://www.123-banner.com/
Pros: Provides flash animation banner. Lots of options. Easy to use
Cons: Not everyone accepts flash. I can't even upload it here. It displays their logo on the bottom.
So overall there ARE some options, but for a few bucks you can get something nice. And custom. And fancy schmancy. Check out my portfolio and see whatcha think. And the prices are so amazing you may just fall right over in your chair from the sheer excitement of it all.
