Hi all.
I have an advertisement space in the sidebar. I know how to replace the image by writing over the current one in my FTP space. However, I don't know how to make the image clickable.
My site is here: http://conventionfansblog.com/
This is the code I currently have related to that image under sidebar.php:
<div id="sidebar">
<div id="sidebar-ads">
<img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/square.jpg" alt="" width="300px" height="250px" />
</div>
My GoogleFu has failed me. Can anyone help me out?
<div id="sidebar">
<div id="sidebar-ads">
<a href="link_url_goes_here"><img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/square.jpg" alt="" width="300px" height="250px" /></a>
</div>

You are my hero!
Now... any idea why that ad doesn't show up in Chrome, but does in Firefox? Ugh! LOL.
The link is there but you need to either upload your own square.jpg graphic to the wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners folder. Or upload a graphic with a different file name to the same folder and amend that last part of <img src="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/banners/square.jpg"
Cool site! Are you just covering US cons or will you be extending to cover European ones?

Thanks!
Yeah, my plan is to drop an actual ad in there tomorrow. I'll try renaming it and such.
And I mostly cover USA and Canadian cons, but I do write about some of the ones in the UK and Australia, and occasionally some in Asian. If the con doesn't have an English site though, it makes it a bit difficult.
Two that you mightn't have spotted:
http://dwcon.org
http://idwcon.org
The latter will hopefully be repeated in 2011. There are also related cons in Germany, Australia & the US every 2 years or so. :-)
