  I have this link that I want to load into my sidebar and it’s very important to me but for some reason it is not loading.

  Here’s the link
  <img src=”http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1013/1373881109_46c3d0c592_o.gif”/>

  I am loading it in the text widget but am not getting my “badge”. Can you help?

  I assume this is what you are wanting, and the following works on my test blog:<a href="http://www.ifbu.blogspot.com/"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1013/1373881109_46c3d0c592_o.gif" alt="" /> </a>

  By the way, to post code here in the forums, you have to put the code between backticks (the key to the left of the #1 key on the north american keyboard (has the ~ on it).

  Ok, I’m just trying to figure this all out. I tried whatever you did to it and it worked (thank you SO MUCH). But what was I doing wrong? And how do I get the white background to show up on the badge? Then just so that I am clear, when I first posted the link I should have typed ~ before the link?

  I REALLY appreciate your help!!!!

  Should I be pasting the link in Flicker instead of Text? Sorry I’m confused. I just see the word “flicker” in the correct link you provided.

  Since I cannot see the entire code you were inserting, I can’t tell you what you were doing wrong.

  The link after href=”, is the place you want the person to go when they click on the image. The link after img src=” is the link to the image you want to use.

  Flickr is where this particular image is hosted.
