I sold an ad spot on my blog.  To fill the spot, I use html code.  The advertiser just sent me the image, not the html code.  I asked him for it, and he said he would get it from the web designer.  All the web designer sent me was a jpeg.  Is there any way I can use what they have sent me to get the ad up?  I don't want to keep going back and forth trying to get the .html code from him.  Thanks.

Hi Melissa,

I'm going to assume they also gave you a url to link to from the image, and that you saved the image on your domain (I'll use http://yourdomain.com/images/ as an example).  Here is the code…

<a href="http://theirdomain.com"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/images/ad.jpg"></a>

Building on what Mike said, you have to upload the file via cpanel or http://ftp.  If what I said doesn't make sense I'd be happy to just do it for you if you email me directly (myjourney@myjourneytomillions.com).

Melissa,

 

Your advertiser just wants you to display the picture or do they want it to be clickable to their site? 

Mike's code is pretty much what you need.  But if they don't then it's a little different (though most advertisers would want the pic to be clickable to their site).

I wonder why they wouldn't have that code ready for site owners. I think you should just go with the suggestions here and put it up like that.

Since you've already got the code figured out, I figured I'd just say Congrats!  Advertisers beget more advertisers, it seems, and gives you some leverage in attracting their competition….at a higher price, of course!

Thanks for all of your help.  I FINALLY got the ad up.  (I wish I was more tech savvy so I didn't have such a steep learning curve!)

For simple things like links, I suggest this site: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp

W3Schools is free and has lots of tutorials.  That is the link to their site on links (the <a> tag), but they have a lot of other useful HTML, CSS, PHP, and Javascript info.  All are important when blogging.

Thanks for the link, because I am completely clueless when it comes to code.

If any of you ever have any questions about little touch ups, let me know.  I can't code a whole site, but I can make small changes pretty quickly.
