  Hi, I want to place photos, or at least one, in the sidebar, under the about me/gravatar section. I can’t figure out how to do this. Can anyone help? Thank you.

  See here for the width of sidebars by theme. Then see here for uploading images. You can display images in your sidbar by using either an image widget or a text widget.

  One of the issues I had is that if I move the text or image widget into the sidebar it asks for URL but the photo is on my computer so I’m not sure how to get around that. I know how to put photos/video into a post using URL or my library. Does that make sense?

  I DID IT! Thank you. I also found a great post you wrote on preventing blogger burnout. I tweeted it to my MBA class ;). FYI: @drbret is our professor at Univ. Nevada, Reno. Thanks again.
