can someone give me an idiots guide to putting an image in the sidebar, please?

put this tag in your text widget
< img src=”urlofimage” alt=”nameofimage” / >
(close the spaces between < and >)save your sidebar and that should appear no problems.
-
thankyou! it worked, but can you give me the code to link it to another website, with the link that opens in a new window?
that would be great help! thanks once again.
-
< a href=”url” target=”_blank”>name< /a >
insert the above tag i gave into “url”, should work.
-
I’VE GOT IT.
THE CODE LOOKS LIKE THIS
PART 1 <(PURPOSE SPACE)a href=”EXTERNALURL” target=”_blank”(PURPOSE SPACE)>
PART 2 <img src=’URLOFIMAGE’ alt=’IMAGENAME’ />
link PART 1 and PART 2 together, and fill in the relevant information. take the (PURPOSE SPACE) out.
-
-
SURE! sorry,
the second part should look like this;
<img src=’URLOFIMAGE’ alt=’IMAGENAME’ /(PURPOSE SPACE)><(PURPOSE SPACE)/a>
once again take out the purpose space.
-
Skipping the spaces, the code would look like the following:
<a href="http://matthew73.wordpress.com/" title="matthrew's blog"><img src="http://wordpress.com/avatar/matthew73-48.jpg" alt="a picture of matthew" /></a>Hope this helps,

To display code here in the forums, place it between backticks, the key above the tab key on a PC keyboard. It’s mentioned at the bottom of the page. :)

` <- Back ticks look like these. What you had up there wasn’t a backtick. Maybe you’re on a Mac. :) -

Themes have a rule sometimes how big an image before it repositions your sidebar to the bottom (hard lesson I learned)
Resize in PShop or some other image editor first if I were you.
