  I’ve seen instructions on featuring Flickr images, etc. — but how do you simply add a single jpeg image to the sidebar using the text widget?

  Thanks. I saved it as a “thumbnail” but it did indeed come out giant sized.

  oh, sorry, you would have to resize the photo yourself as a smaller image with whatever image software you have on your computer.

  OK. I’ll poke around in my iPhoto — what size would work well to fit the sidebar?

  Depends on your sidebar. Looks like yours is about 200 px wide.

  You can also use this code to resize the image in the sidebar

  <a href="URL HERE"><img src="URL HERE" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT"></a>

  The 200px width Vivian mentioned in the post right above yours should work well for the theme you are using.

  A couple of notes: The code given by Vivian is for a thumbnail that links to the full-size original. If you want a plain no linking image, you don’t need the first part. And either way you don’t need the height indication at all.
