I don't know what the correct term is but I am looking to email out an image that will have my website address and another link written on the image.
I am trying to figure out how to make them clickable links.
I have done some searches but i dont know what the correct technical term is and i have been unable to find any help.
If anyone could shed any light on this subject it would be a big help.

Thanks, Luke
 
Thanks for the link.

I have just created an image with links in it but now i don't know how to place it in my email (I want to embed it so it shows up in the email)

Any chance you could give me a some more help please?

Thanks, Luke
 
Surely just wrap the image with a hyperlink tag?

You shouldn't be using image maps for email (or pretty much anything else either).

If you want to mass mail quite a lot of people, MailChimp is awesome (and free for less than 2000).
 
Thank your your speedy response!

I have just done abit more research and it does indeed look like image maps are a no no.

I will have a look at mail chimp and see what it's all about.

Thanks again for your time friend.

Yeah to be honest all I would do is

Code: 
<a href="yourwebsiteURL"><img src="yourimageURL"></a>

That will make the image a link to whatever you link it to.

If you're using a program like Mozilla Thunderbird you can import HTML into emails pretty easily.

MailChimp is ace because it has a drag and drop editor, so no need to code if you don't fancy it.
