Can I put HTML tags anywhere in my posts?
No. You can not use HTML tags in the body of the message.
If you put HTML tags in your message, the script will just throw out everything in between the
<>'s. You do have the option, however, of putting a photo or graphic alongside your advert text (making it an impressive display advert) and also of placing a URL link to a web page somewhere else on the Web.

What should I put in the "Text of Ad" box?

The other option is to send us the photo/graphic and we will scan and upload the photo or graphic to your ad for you.
