Forum Badges?

[auron2785]

OK, so call me a newbie webmaster but i was wondering, how exactly are the website badges (the small pictures of other sites that are currently scrolling through the site right this moment) are made? I have tried googling them, but to no avail!

Update:

Sweet...to quote Mario "Haha! I got it!" ;D
Not really that hard after all....Just used GIMP to squash the image and ad text...hopefully this is right..it looks right..not sure how to add the black-line frame around it tho..hhmmm...
Maybe that is too annoying....
Any thoughts?

Update 2:
okay, my bad on the double post..my apologies...
They are for my site and my new forums..

Well, first off, that's a double post. You could have just edited the original post with the new information.

Secondly, it's an HTML code, and the 'black-line frame' is just a border that's placed into the code. It's pretty easy once you know how. Those you have posted look about right, although I think the standard size for affiliate banners (what most forum-goers call them) is 81x33 pixels. Don't quote me on that, but I think that's the size.

If you need any more help, just ask! But, please try not to double-post again =P

Those are a couple nice looking banners though! Can I ask what they're for?

What Saya said. Try not to double post, okay?

And isn't the standard size for a mini banner 88x31?

See?! I knew I was wrong! XD I was close though!
