You can customize the width and height of your image, link the image to a URL, add nofollow attribute to the URL or simply insert the image in its actual resolution with a simple code.

I want its width to be 500px and its height to be 260px, I want it to link to http://blogger-shortcode.blogspot.com/ and I want this link to be a nofollow because I don't want to pass precious PageRank juice to it.
