  <img border=”0″ alt=”Photobucket” src=”http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/praiseandcoffee/giveawaybutton.jpg”/>

  I don’t see anything that mentions flash or javascript (at least as far as I can tell)…is there something else that would make this not permissible on wordpress? It’s simply a button (still picture) that links to another blog.

  To get the code to appear here in the forums, place it between backticks (on the same key as the ~). It’s to the left of the #1 key on north american keyboards.

  <a href="http://www.praiseandcoffee.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/praiseandcoffee/giveawaybutton.jpg"/></a>

  When I attempted to put this on my sidebar all that showed up was a photobucket link…

  Thanks for any help you can offer!

  Move the alt= tag as I’ve shown below and it will work for you
  <a href="http://www.praiseandcoffee.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/praiseandcoffee/giveawaybutton.jpg" alt="Photobucket" /></a>

  The “a”-tag is broken. This works:
  <a href="http://www.praiseandcoffee.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i230.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/praiseandcoffee/giveawaybutton.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>

  [edit] too late… ;-)

  @isadora

  Yours is better as it also moves the border= to after the URL.

  Whoops. Didn’t notice a second genius appeared on the scene. Thanks to both of you for your efforts. (I actually used thesacredpath tip…)

  You’re welcome. They both work although isadora’s is more “right” than mine.

  thesacredpath, there’s no “more” or “less” right: if it works, it’s right :-D
