If you want to make it link to NewsNow, try this code

`<div style="width:119px;font-size:11px;line-height:11px;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#444;text-align:center" ><img src="path/to/file/newsnow_ab.gif"> style="width:119px;height:47px;border:0;display:block;padding-bottom:2px" alt="As featured on NewsNow: La Liga news"/>La Liga News 24/7</div>

I need to include the file path for the logo instead of "path/to/file" which I have done but it still does not work??

Sorry if it is something obvious that I am missing. I am not the most PC literate person!!

Image appears but does not work when you click it.

You have to upload the image first, and then put it in there instead of the "path/to/file/newsnow_ab.gif"

I have copied the relevant section of the email I was sent, detailed below:-

The logo graphic file is attached to this email.

Upload the logo graphic file to your website/blog, then copy and paste the following HTML excerpt into the HTML source of your site:
<div style="width:119px;font-size:11px;line-height:11px;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#444;text-align:center" ><img src="path/to/file/newsnow_ab.gif" style="width:119px;height:47px;border:0;display:block;padding-bottom:2px" alt="As featured on NewsNow: La Liga news"/>La Liga News 24/7</div>

NB: replace 'path/to/file' in the HTML excerpt above with the path to the folder in which you saved the logo.

I now have the image up but it does not link anywhere. The image is on the right of the screen.

I have read through the links option but I do not think that is appropriate for this.

I am having problems with the link URL code.

If the code is for an advertising widget then using it will subject your blog to suspension due to a ToS violation, as no blogger initiated advertizing is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
