Attaching a hyperlink to an image in a Blank Sidebox Mod v2.0?

[SandraSD]

Hello.

What is the proper way to attach a hyperlink to an image in a Blank Sidebox Mod v2.0?
I have problem with it...

Thanks.

Should just be standard HTML. What problem are you having?

The syntax is:

<a href="the URL"><img src="path_to_image/image_name.gif" /></a>

Hi.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am new to PHP, so here is what I did, and my text link works, but the image is not linked...
I probably messed up my code somewhere. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

Also where do I write style for my text link? I would like it to look just like my other sidebox links in my template (with hover effect)...

Thanks again.

OK,

I made this mistake. I had an extra file

includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php uploaded in this directory:

includes/templates/theme209/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php

I deleted this file and my image is now linked, still trying to figure out where to write CSS for my text link in this sidebox...
Can you help?
