Any way to place pic
-
Was wondering if there was a way to place a “static” pic, to the side bar? pardon my novice ignorance…

Tried your suggestion re using a “Text Widget”, how do I actually get to upload an image from my C: drive, and size it correctly? derr? pardon my ignorance. When I insert widget to sidebar, then select “configure” It seems there is no way to insert a pic?
-
First optimize (consult FAQ) and size the picture on your computer so it’s not so huge it’s going to create problems. Then create a post and use the “browse” button to locate the picture on your computer. Upload the picture into the post. Copy the code then paste it into a sidbar widget and save it.

Thx for your help thus far… I followed the steps you’ve suggested, though the pic does not show in the side-bar widget (Text) wher I have posted the URL…. just the path is showing… please check and re-advice what’s not happening…

You need to put the link inside an image source tag:
< img src = “http://daod.wordpress.com/files/2006/07/sm_saruman.jpg” >Remove the spaces in order for it to work.
-
To make sure it’s XML correct, you have to add in a slash mark right before the last > mark.
For example:
< img src = “http://daod.wordpress.com/files/2006/07/sm_saruman.jpg” />
Annoying, ain’t it? ;)

Not a problem. I have to catch myself on that as well since I’m still not used to using it.
<br />marks as well while I’m thinking of it. -
Um – I just went into my text widget and added that trailing slash and it lost the entire line, which meant the pic was gone. Was there supposed to be a space before the trailing slash?

Yo drmike (and others input), Thx for the advice and the lessons, though, it took awhile to get a result, i.e. a pic into side-bar widget… but heh, much appreciated… now I’m sure most of the XML language stuff went over/pass me, but sounds as if you others got some learning from the query, so we all got what was needed… well done drmike…
Now let me add a little, can the image be “centred” in the widget? -
-
Agreed, either surround it with center tags or put in a align=”center” bit to the tag. (I think we can do aligns here)
For example:
<center><img src=”http://vivianpaige.wordpress.com/files/2006/06/me200.jpg” /></center>
-or-
<img src=”http://vivianpaige.wordpress.com/files/2006/06/me200.jpg” align=”center” />
