  I have a jpeg that I would like to add to my sidebar as a link to another site. How can I do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The easiest option is to use the image widget. Here’s more info on how to do that:

  Let me know if you need any help getting that all set up :)

  Thanks for your prompt response! I’m confused by terms I think. I don’t have a photo to use as an image widget. I have a drawing sent to me as a jpeg file. I did upload it to the media library and was following the steps in the link that you sent above, however when I click the “edit” button under the image I do not get a box with a URL. I’m probably misunderstanding something really basic…

  a .jepg file will work the same as a photo :)

  If you open the image file in your library and look over to the right, you’ll see the image’s URL. I’ve also copied it below:

  

  If you put that link in the image URL box of the widget you’ll be on your way.

  Nice! Great work. I really like your site title. “Hammer like a Girl” makes me really happy.
