Adding an Image To the Sidebar without zapping what you’ve got
-
I have tried all different ways to do this and can’t figure out the proper way. Here’s what I want to do. I want to place a small graphic in the sidebar in the Blogroll area. (I actually want to add two images.) The images will each link to a different place and I do not want them to have bullet next to them. They support things I want to endorse.
If I place them as regular blogroll entries. I get the image with it’s link but it has a bullet and becomes part of the list – looks REALLY dumb.
If I place them as widgets, the new widget I add in order to place them, replaces my existing sidebar and I lose everything I’ve got there. It seems to me there must be a way around this.
Would someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong and how to achieve what I want? My blog is http://adenyddceltaidd.wordpress.com/.
Thank you so much.

The sidebar arrangement you have now is the default arrangement. When you add your text widgets with the images you simply have to reposition the other widgets of your choice by dragging them out of the “Available Widgets” box and dropping them into the Sidebar widget box and then click “Save Changes”.

Right (and thank you). So what you’re saying is I need to use the widgets, add the existing content to a new widget (because the new widget replaces what’s in the default layout sidebar) and Bob’s your uncle?

I’m saying that the minute you place a widget of any kind into the sidebar that wasn’t showing in the default arrangement you over-ride the default arrangement.
First you create a text widget and then place the image in it. Next you place that text widget and all the other widgets you wish to use in the Sidebar Widgets box.

Lastly you click “Save Changes”.Perhaps you may find these helpful
