At www.chrisdildy.com (http://www.chrisdildy.com) i try to make a link with the pix(ie: cool links) when i do a simple link all it does is dissapper. any help would be appreciated on this bizzare event.

You could try something like this:
<p><a href="http://www.test.com" target="_top"><img border="0" src="path_to_image.gif" alt="Test Link" width="15" height="15"></a></p>

Make sure you have the path right...
