Affiliate 'buttons'

Hope I'm posting in the right forum. I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on how to make an image for when linking to affiliates. I'm developing a forum and would like to know what I must do to make such an image available.

Here are two examples:

Is it possible for anyone to make one for me? Is there HTML code involved in the process?

When linking to affiliates, its usual that they will provide an image for you to use. But if you would like to create one then all thats needed is an application like photoshop, size being 88x31 and go from there. In most cases, its a slick effect with a pixel font of the sites name. Although the creation needs no html knowledge, as ou may guess, getting it onto a page does, and can be done with the following code:

Code:

&#60;a href=&#34;http&#58;//www.thesiteyouarelinkingto.com&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&#62;&#60;img src=&#34;images/thesitesimage&#34; width=&#34;88&#34; height=&#34;31&#34; border=&#34;0&#34;&#62;&#60;/a&#62;

src attribute being where the file is on your server. Hope this helps.

they may also want a reference number from you: like

<a href="www.theirsite.com?affiliate=www.yoursite.com">, but the other site would be able to tell you that
