  I want to upload an image from my computer into the image widget. It seems to only take images from another website? Is there a way to get the image from my computer?

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

  Have you tried uploading the image into your Media Library? First, locate the image you want to use from your Media Library, or upload a new image by going to Media -> Add New in your dashboard. Once the image has been uploaded successfully, copy the URL appearing in the File URL field and paste that into the Image URL field of the Image Widget settings. For further help on uploading an image to your Media Library, please refer to the appropriate documentation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/media-add-new/ see also http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/#activating-the-image-widget

  I can’t see the image I posted in the widgets sidebar nor the link I posted with it. How does that work? I went to the above links and did that and it’s not working. Help.
