I can’t get a link back button to work
-
I am trying to add a “Photobogs.com” link back button to my blog on WordPress.com. Although the image appears it does not work. Also I want to position it in the footer area but do not know how to do this.
I am using the Monotone theme and have read that it has alot of limitations. However I am relatively new to blogging and HTML coding, so suspect it could be my lack of knowledge.
Here is the HTML code I have been given to add to my blog – <img src=”http://www.photoblogs.com/images/button_80x15.gif” alt=”Photoblogs.com” style=”width:80px;height:15px;border:none;” />The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

To display code here, you need to put it between backticks.
Code should be:
<a href="http://www.photoblogs.com/site/583.html"><img src="http://www.photoblogs.com/images/button_80x15.gif" alt="Photoblogs.com" style="width:80px;height:15px;border:none;" /></a>
Or, if you want it to open in a new browser window or tab:
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.photoblogs.com/site/583.html"><img src="http://www.photoblogs.com/images/button_80x15.gif" alt="Photoblogs.com" style="width:80px;height:15px;border:none;" /></a>Normally you would go to Appearance>Widgets, drag a Text widget to “Sidebar” or “Footer”, paste the code in the widget field, save.
Unfortunately Monotone is the only wp.com theme that doesn’t support widgets, so the only way to have that button on your front page is: set your front to display a static page instead of your latest post, and paste the button code in the HTML editor of that page.
Or switch to the Duotone theme: similar to Monotone but widget-aware.

Thank you very much Panaghiotisadam, really appreciate your advice. – This is a great community.
I am going with Duotone as it seems to be the easier option for now, but will remember the other workarounds if I go back to Monotone.
