Sorry, but can you explain your problem a bit better?

If you want to make an image where there are many links you have to create multiple images and later make them "look" like they are part of only one
To an image with a link (you click on the image to perform an action) you have to embed the Image's Tag <img src="path/to/image.extension" /> inside an A tag <a href="destination/of/the/link.extension"> ... </a> (the one that creates the link)
Like:
HTML Code:
<a href="destination/of/the/link.extension"><img src="path/to/image.extension" /></a>

oh, sorry,
What I meant was, you know those kinds of email that you get where it's just a large image and bascially its like an embedded email email, where links work ect within the image . One of my clients wants what is called like an email blast, and she wanted two diff template ... and like what I'm asking is, is the approach to an 'email blast' the same as like making a simple html layout per se or is it something different?
and if its like a regular simple html site thing, so when I give the client their final product, do I just tell them to copy and past the html to their email?
but then how would linking the image go since the only way I know about images + email is through attachments.
Does this make sense?

it is just html, however it depends on how they're sending the email as to what you're giving them. if they're just going to copy and paste into outlook it's not going to work to paste the html code into the "compose" screen. i've found that viewing the html page in a browser and copying and pasting actually works better for outlook, and most other normal email programs.

if you're using something like constant contact though you'll need to dive into their system to find the best way.

You can email a HTML web page from most web browsers. In Safari, this is done by going to file and to "mail contents of this page." In Internet Explorer you do it by going to "send page as email."
