I can't seem to find a plug in or instructions how to put up a banner ad w/ my affiliate ID on my WordPress blog.

I looked on Lorelle's blog and could only find info for RANDOM banners:

Anyone know how to put up a banner specific for your promotion?

Hi Carrie,
I've been asked this quite a few times and I will definitely add this into my ebook update (which will be soon). Below I have taken some code right from my affiliate promotional tool area at: www.how2-makemoneyonline.com and it is an example of an image (or you could use any size banner it would be the same) that is hyperlinked with my affiliate URL.

Honest Riches Original E-Book Cover



Copy / Paste this code on into the HTML of your
Website to display the ad/banner with your affiliate link.

Code:

<p align="center"><strong style="font-weight: 400"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.how2-makemoneyonline.com/new/?thankyou=2">       <img border="0" src="http://www.how2-makemoneyonline.com/images/bookSM_150height.jpg" align="center" width="123" height="160" alt="Click here to get Make Money Online - Honest Riches"></a></strong></p>

OK here is a breakdown of the code so that you know what you should replace with your own variables.... The code below is what you need to insert into your blog or website html.

--------code starts---------------------------------
<p align="center"><strong style="font-weight: 400">
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.how2-makemoneyonline.com/new/?thankyou=2">
<img border="0" src="http://www.how2-makemoneyonline.com/images/bookSM_150height.jpg" align="center" width="123" height="160" alt="Click here to get Make Money Online - Honest Riches"></a></strong></p>
-------------code ends-------------------------------

KEY for COLORS:
RED - replace this URL with your affiliate link
BLUE - URL for the actual image or banner. You MUST upload it to a website online somewhere and then insert the full URL here - ending in .jpg, .png, .gif or some other photo file format. You also must know the dimensions (height and width in pixels) and to find that you can right click on your image and hit PROPERTIES with your mouse. The full URL and dimensions will be displayed.
BROWN - Width and Height of the actual image or banner you have uploaded
PURPLE - any alternate text you want people to see when they scroll over the image or banner - like click here.

Thanks Holly. I'll post again to let you know how it works for me when I've had a chance to try this on my blog.
