Adding an image outside of main column
-
Just starting out, so I don’t even know where to look for the answer to these questions. With the theme I picked, I have two columns. How do I put an image in the second column; I don’t understand the references used in wordpress. Also, can I put an image outside the columns? What topic would that be under, Themes? Can a change like this be made to a theme or would I have to design my own? Don’t think I’m capable of the latter.

Hi there, I believe this is what you’re looking for? http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/18/put-an-image-in-your-sidebar/

I don’t understand how to copy the URL or rather how to get to it. Does it only appear at the instant when it’s uploaded? I’ve done something stupid and keep missing the chance to copy the URL twice now. Is there a way to get back to it with managing images?

OK, I managed to copy the URL and pasted it into the text widget like the instructions said. What appears now in the second column (guess that’s called the sidebar) is the text of the link or URL, not the image. What did I do wrong?

I think the code shown in the FAQ doesn’t always work; try this instead:
<img src="URL_HERE"></a>
If your image is large, you can scale it down using this code:
<img src="URL_HERE" width="100px"></a>
And if you want a scaled down image that will link to the full-size original when clicked:
<a href="URL_HERE"><img src="URL_HERE" width="100px"></a>
(The number 100 is just a suggestion; you can use a different one.) -
