  OK, over on the right sidebar you will see that there is now a Welcome box with a generic message and link. 

  Looks pretty crap doesn't it?

  What I need is an image that goes in the box. It needs to be 250 pixels wide, and somewhere between 120 and 150 pixels high. The image needs have the words 'New to The Skyrim Blog. Click Here' very clearly displayed in text, but the background can be anything Skyrim related.

  Ok so much for the image. Now, here is where I need HTML

  The image needs to be 'clickable', and when clicked it needs to go to the Welcome Page at the top of the site. I know that this can be done with HTML but I don't know how to do it

  What I need is someone firstly to make the image. Then someone to send me a chunk of HTML that will mean that when someone clicks the image they go to the Welcome page. Is that clear to people? If not, ask and I'll try and explain better.

  Anyone?

  Couldn't you just find that kind of code on google? Just substitute in the html for the welcome page. I'll look into it for you.

  Can't you just right click the image, click edit, add in a link and your done?

  No, that doesn't work in the text box feature in Ning - it has to be added in HTML

  <a href="http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/page/welcome">
  <img src="(image name goes here)" />
  </a>

  This html should work from what I've just checked online. Here's a link to the page I got the information from. Just don't take my word on it, I'm no html expert. http://www.pageresource.com/html/image3.htm

  I think this might be a way for the code to work: 

  <p><a href="http://theskyrimblog.ning.com/page/welcome" target="_self"><img src="discussions/34001-35000/34960-745771295.png?xgip=0%3A0%3A183%3A183%3B%3B&amp;width=48&amp;height=48&amp;crop=1%3A1" class="align-full" /></a></p>

  You can do this without HTML paul...

  Once you have your image you just add it to your web space and then edit its properties in the usual edit window...

  Where I have circled Link, this is where you would place the new link for your welcome page. Then when someone clicks it will then send them where you want them to go.

  Here's a quicky image if you want to try it...

  I've already set it up to link to your welcome page...

  Just a simplistic one, I am free to scrap it and make changes if needed

  Thanks Dragon

  I think I prefer Mason's of the two, but feel free to take another stab at it. Perhaps a bit less indistinct with the background?
