</script><center>
<a href="http://gtmdecals.com
"target="_blank">
<img src="http://motorbicycling.com/images/misc/decals.gif"></a>

There's probably a couple of different ways you could do this...
Paste this into your additional CSS box.

.adCopy {
    text-align:center;
    }

Then try using this in place of your code. Note I omitted that closing script statement.

 <div class="adCopy">
    <a href="http://gtmdecals.com" target="_blank"><img src=
    "http://motorbicycling.com/images/misc/decals.gif" /></a>

    <div class="smallfont adCopy">
      <a href="http://gtmdecals.com" target="_blank">Motorized Bicycle Decals!</a>
    </div>
  </div>
<br />
<br />

I'm no pro, I was just cruising through and seen your post

Qua coding there are a lot of errors with that, that won''t pass the xtml validation. For example, you got the ending script tag but no start such tag. The img tag doesn''t have the required alt attribute and it is an empty tag and as such it should be closed. Also the center tag and align center on div are both depricated.

Try to use this code. I cleaned it up and it does what you want. It will take both, the picture and title to go to the advertisers site when clicked upon as a single link, just like you asked. At least that is what I could understand from your request. Please let me know if that was what you wanted.

Anyway, here is the code:

<div style = "text-align: center">
<a href="http://gtmdecals.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://motorbicycling.com/images/misc/decals.gif" alt = "" /><br />Motorized Bicycle Decals!</a>
</div>

Hope it helps.

You are welcome.

Here, try this. The coding has been cleaned up but for the the errors in the affiliate url.

<div style = "text-align: center">
<a href="http://www.bikeberry.com/index.php?ref=2&cPath=30&affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://motorbicycling.com/images/misc/bbb.gif" alt = "" /></a>
</div>
