  Hi,

  I uploaded a Gravatar image. I would like it to appear in the right column of my blog, but I don’t see a way to do that. There doesn’t seem to be a widget for that. I’ve tried putting a link to it in the text widget, but that doesn’t work. Is there something I’m missing?

  Thanks.

  P.S. This is what I put in the text widget.

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

  You will have to upload the image to your media library and then use a text widget and put the HTML link code into the text widget.

  You can also use the Authors widget in that theme. (Silver is the New Black)

  I keep forgetting about the author’s widget (probably since I don’t have any authors).

  Great. The authors widget does it. I had opened it, but since I didn’t see up upload image option, I assumed it wouldn’t help. In fact, since I have a Gravatar image, all I had to do was add the widget and it appeared in the blog.

  Thanks.
