  Hi guys,

  Im looking to learn how to add my side bar “about author” with a photo and description about the author. I see under widgets where I can “add author” but no space for writing/photo. Is this possible to do or do I need to upgrade in order to do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you are not accustomed to coding then create a draft post first which you will later delete. Do all your work in the Visual editor and when you are done switch to the HTML editor. Then copy the code from the HTML editor and paste it into the text widget. Lastly, delete the draft post.
