How can I create an affiliate button using GIMP?

Question: I want to create an affiliate button for my proboards site. But I don't know how to make it or anything. I can make the little graphics part of it, but I don't know how to make it a clickable button or anything. The only Graphics programs I have are GIMP and MS Paint. Can someone please help?

Answers:
First off, the GIMP is a great graphics program for creating buttons and the like as well as photo-editing. However, it doesn't have anything to do with making an image "clickable".

When you say "clickable", do you mean you want people to be able to click on it and have them be taken to another website, webpage, etc? If so, you'll need to do some HTML coding. It's relatively easy though.

First you have to create the image/graphic.

Once it's created you have to upload it to your website.

Once loaded to your site, paste this code wherever you want the button to appear and edit anything with the " " marks.

<a href="http://www.whatever_website_yo... src="filename_of_your_button"
alt="title_of_your_button"
width="dimension_of_your_butto... height="dimension_of_your_butt... border="0" /></a>

Feel free to email me if you want further assistance!
