  I want an image as myself as a widget, although I can only find one where I need the URL. Isn’t it possible to just upload a picture from my own computer?

  Yes, you can upload an image to be used in a widget directly from the computer to the site. No, you can’t upload it directly to a widget. Instead, upload it to the media library, copy the image URL, and use that URL in either an image widget or a text widget.

  The basic code to use for an image is

  <img src="IMG URL">

  There are certain widgets, the gallery widget for example, which allow you to upload an image directly from either your media library or external files, but not the text widget or the image widget.
