How do I add my husband’s blog ….
-
I’m very new to Word Press!!!! I’m trying to link my husband’s blog on a side bar. I want to use a picture instead of an actual text address like my blog rolls. I hope I have made sense. I hope I have fixed the name and blog thing. If not here is my address http://frogslilypad.wordpress.com
Thanks for any help.

I know that I might sound impatient. I’ve been working on setting up my blog today. I’m amazed about the difficult time I’m having.

You must upload the picture and put it in a text widget, using this code model:
<a href="BLOG_URL_HERE"><img src="IMAGE_URL_HERE"></a>
The picture must be small enough to fit in the text widget or it might mess your sidebar. Alternately, you can use the same code with the addition of a scaling-down command, e.g.:
<a href="BLOG_URL_HERE"><img src="IMAGE_URL_HERE" width="90" /></a>
(90 is an example – best number depends on the theme you’re using.) -
Here’s the FAQ on this http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/18/put-an-image-in-your-sidebar/

OK, I got the picture in. But how do I link his blog with the picture. I guess what I’m trying to ask is. When you click on the picture it will take you to his blog.
Thanks
-
For that you use the coding that panghiotsadam gave you earlier. The
<a href="...>...</a>is what gives you the link. -
Thank you!!! One more question…(I’m not to smart about this) When you point to the picture. It shows my word press address infront of his link. How do I take that off?
-
Could you copy and paste the code that you’re using into a comment here so that we can see what the problem might be. You’ll need to put backticks around the code (the key beside the number 1 on your keyboard) – see below the reply box.

For some reason my cut and paste does not work. I hope I got it typed in correctly
-
Nope. You need to put the backticks on either side of the code, so that it doesn’t convert the code into an actual link.

>a href="http://fireballspulpit.blogspot.com"><imgscr="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3181/2950253012_064fabd874_o.jpg"></a>this is what is in the widget text.

It looks fine apart from the first bracket. It should be:
<a href="http://fireballspulpit.blogspot.com"><imgscr="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3181/2950253012_064fabd874_o.jpg"></a>That will give you a link to http://fireballspulpit.blogspot.com
What exactly is the problem that you are finding?
-
Hmm. I went and checked and your picture is linked to this address: http://frogslilypad.wordpress.com/fireballspulpit.blogspot.com. Check in your text widget that you haven’t got this by mistake. Otherwise, I’m afraid I don’t know what would be causing that.
-
Oh, also, though I don’t know if this would cause the problem you’re finding, there should be a space in your code:

When you point to the picture on my side bar, down at the bottom of the screen it shows
http://frogslilypad.wordpress.com/fireballspulpit.blogspot.comwhen you click on it, it takes you to an empty wordpress page not found
