Ad Space
Man, HTML is so hard for me to understand. But I just figured out how to make ads on my blog that link to what I want and look nice. I'm so proud!
If you are using Blogger, go to "Edit Template" and you can mess with all the HTML. To locate the code for your blog's sidebar, scroll approx. 3/4 of the way down. There you can type in the code (as pictured) and replace the text in ALL CAPS with your own info.
WEBSITE
This is the site your ad will take you to. I think the best way is to copy the address (or "URL") from the address bar when you have the site open in another window.
IMAGE
This will be a URL that ends in ".jpg". Your image should already be online. A site like Flickr will host it online for free and can give you the address for your image in a variety of different sizes. (Go to your image on Flickr. Click "All Sizes". Choose your size and copy the URL shown underneath.)
WORDS
This is what will show if your image for some reason won't load. It should say the name of the site or what it is you are linking to.
You'll get to preview your changes to see if it's all going as planned. If it all goes to hell you can always exit without saving.

good job. and welcome to html-land. after ten years i still live near the country's boarders.
I'll hafta try this someday
I also STILL do not know how to have links to other peoples blogs on my blog, can somebody post, or send me a tutorial, on how to do that?!
Should be on its way to your inbox about....now.
UPDATE: *New* Blogger won't allow much html tinkering at all. I'm sure their intentions are to make it easier, but I feel like it's limiting.
