Adding image from PC to text widget
-
I have tried the instructions from the FAQ as well as searched this forum for the answer in another topic. To no avail, I can not add my profile picture from my pc to a text box and get it to show up in my sidebar.
My blog: http://beyondjems.wordpress.com
When I upload the pic from my pc to the gallery it does not give me a link URL. I’ve tried to copy the URL from the gallery page that my pic is on, but it still doesn’t show up in the sidebar. The code I’ve been using is
<img src=”http://beyondjems.wordpress.com/wp-admin/profilpic1.jpg”> and <img src=”http://beyondjems.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=573″>
Any ideas?

Instead of going to the gallery, go to the media library from the post editor like you were going to insert it into the post and then click on the “file URL” button to get the URL.

Also, the easiest way to get code into a text widget (if your html skills are minimal, as mine are) is to write it in the visual editor, adding images and formating that you can preview as you go along. Keep in mind that your sidebar is narrow so don’t make your images too wide! Then switch to html mode and copy the code. Add your text widget to the sidebar, and paste the code into it. Don’t forget to save.
The code you are using does not look like images to me, and they don’t open. Maybe that’s because you are copying it from the gallery? I have not used the gallery feature so I’m only guessing here.
It’s also wise to save code for your text widgets somewhere (on your computer or as a draft post or page) in case there as a problem (as recently happened), or if you decide to change themes at a later date.

thank you thesacredpath, it worked after I clicked on the link url button to fill it in! i had to add width & height code to size it right!
