    Just use this code wherever you want your banners to appear (modifying the two URLs):

    <a href="http://www.destination.com"><img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/banner.jpg"></a>

    destination.com is where you want people to go when they click on your banners. Also, please note we're assuming the directory you've uploaded your banner image to is 'images' and that it's a JPEG file.

    Any problems let us know

      Make sure the path isn't referencing your desktop instead of your website. That can happen if you built the pages with an html editor like Dreamweaver instead of coding it by hand.

        Just copy the URL from the link you're trying to use (ie: "http://bigballin.com/images/banner.jpg") and paste it into the address field of your browser, where you normally type web addresses you go to, and press your Enter key. If your banner is displayed, you have the right URL. If you get something like a 404 error or "page cannot be found", you either don't have the right path in the URL or it is misspelled.

        Keep trying until you see your banner displayed, and use that URL in your image tag.

        Hope that helps

    You can find your destination url by going into your ftp client tracing your images and right clicking them and scrolling down to copy file location. I suggest then you replace the ftp.website.com/public_html with www.website.com and take out the public_html

    Sometimes this kind of things happen because of some silly mistakes. Those are so silly that's why they remain invisible. I think there are some little mistake in the coding. Please recheck the html code you are using to add banner.
