Book - details needed @ chapter 4.4.1

Status: 
Open
Question: 

Hi Dorien,
I bought your book and succeded to implement what you wrote up to chapter 4.4.1.
I need some details where to place the short link to View My Profile button.
May be I am not so smart, but using the contemplate module seems too complicated for me.
I tried to follow the book instructions, but I am stucked at this step.
Where to place the below code?
(I use Drupal 6)
a href="
<?php print base_path();?>node/<?php print $node->nid ?>">

img src="
<?php print base_path();?>
sites/default/files/profilebutton.jpg" />
/a>
(please note that in the above code I have deliberatelly droped some tags, otherwise it could not have been correctly displayed the code copied / paste from your book here, in this question / answer section of your site)
Or should I use the contemplate module instead?
I have searched a little bit on the net about contemplate module and many sources advise not to push the Save button, because after the changes are done they impact the database and if for some reasons want to inactivate the contemplate module latter on the code is messed up. I have tried to modify the php code using the contemplate module, but the changes are not saved (even though I have pushed the Save button despite all advices).
I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks
