  I have tried posting the following HTML to a text widget, bit just end up with a red cross inside a square(see http://investmentpostcards.wordpress.com).

  <img border=”0″ src=”21Mgw+XGatL._AA_.jpg”><img src=”http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=invepostfromc-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0470102101″ width=”1″ height=”1″ border=”0″ alt=”” style=”border:none !important; margin:0px !important;” />

  I have also tried taking out everything from the second <img onwards but still no luck.

  Please help.

  Why it’s having a problem is because the “src” for the first IMG is a relative, not an absolute link. This means it is trying to llok in your local folders (ie at wordpress) for the image rather than going to Amazon. You might want to have a look at the terms of service on Advertising and affiliate links etc.
