  Grrrrr… errrr… try this: change the beginning “{” and ending “}”s to “<” and “>” respectively.

  {a href=http://www.whatever your link address is.html” “target=_blank”><paste the image code you copied from the editor here></a}

  @desperate:
  Your links=your blogroll, and links in the blogroll have categories, just like posts do. Defrost is referring to the way the blogroll used to work, where you had to have not only a link in a category but a post in the same category for the link to be visible on your site. This is no longer the case, so don’t worry about it.

  I see that you have the Technorati button, but the other things in your sidebar (Go Ahead…Get a Little Wild!; Vote Today and Every Day!; Visit Me at Carpenter Creek!) are not links at all, just text. Have you put those in a text widget or are they on your blogroll links list (i can’t tell from where i’m sitting)?

  Judy, they’re links. The code is written as a link and it works everywhere but here. The little box that should be the image works as the link.

  The carpenter creek link is now working, image and all. However, the other two, which lead outside of wordpress, are still not showing the image. The code is written the same way, so there’s no reason (at least in my mind) why the image shouldn’t be showing up.

  Petsy, that’s the way my code is written, too. Nothing wrong with the code, it just isn’t working here. =(
