    Hello,

    Please, I would like to add a banner ad to my blog.My difficulty is how to access the banner ad’s code, it was sent to me in gif format. I do not have FrontPage or Dreamweaver on my PC, I would have imported it into either.

    Thank you

    There is no code in your banner that you access to add to your web page. You need to access your BLOG's code.

    You can do this with a free text editor such as Notepad++ or whatever simple text editor came with your computer. Do NOT use a word processor such as Word or WordPerfect. It needs to be a plain text editor.

    You can SEE your blog's code by viewing it in your browser and selecting View > View Source (or whatever it says in your browser's language) from the browser menu near the top. You will see the HTML of your site.

    You can ACCESS your blog's code from your server. However you are writing on your blog, that server you send your blog posts to, has your HTML code that you can change.

    An example of a gif in HTML (assuming it's supposed to be clicked and take people somewhere):

    <a href="the link people go to"><img src="the path to your gif file on the server...filename.gif" height="the height" width="the width" alt="text representing what the banner says" /></a>

    stuff in the "double quotes" needs to have the correct information in it.
