Image in sidebar
-
I’m sure this has been asked before, but I have followed the instructions in the FAQ and still cannot get an image in the sidebar. I’ve tried doing so through a text widget and the image doesn’t show. I’ve tried it through blogroll and, again, the image does not show. I need to place an image and link it to a specific page on our website.
Please advise, and thank you for your attention.

I don’t see a non-working example, so I guess you removed it. You do want to use a text widget for this and a simple way is to pretend you’re writing a post. Load the image into the visual editor, click on it, then click on the icon to insert a link (it looks like a chain) and insert the url you want to link to.
Then go into the code tab, copy what’s there, paste it into a text widget, save and you should be home free.

If you simply want the code for adding an image into a Text widget, here is an example…
<img src="http://domain.com/image-file.jpg" />You’ll need to replace http://domain.com/image-file.jpg with the actual URL of your image.

I’m having the same problem. I have followed the directions on this page: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/10/18/put-an-image-in-your-sidebar/
time and time again and get nowhere. I have left the non-working example on my blog for you to see. I am so frustrated with this and have wasted so much time that I am thinking of taking my blog elsewhere. -
Is this the blog you are talking about http://mariechantal.wordpress.com/ ? I don’t see a text widget in your sidebar or a non-working example.
Paste the code you are using here into the forum between backticks (the key to the left of the #1 key on the north american keyboard that has the ~ on it also).

The blog that I am talking about is: http://dreamingofwildroses.wordpress.com/
and the code that I used is below.<img src="http://dreamingofwildroses.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/wonderfulwomenwaward.jpg" -
mariechantal – You need to close the tag so it is:

I am having similar problems. I want to place a Blogreach Button thingy in my sidebar. The code I’m meant to put in is:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.blogreach.com/js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" id="blogreach_loader"> jQuery.noConflict();blogreach_id = 587;How do I do this? Because it doesn’t seem like a simple image upload It got me baffled. I tried using a text widget but all that shows up is a portion of the code. I have copied and pasted the code to make sure it is correct. I have not left the incorrect code on my blog.

Javascript is not allowed here at wordpress.com due to security concerns: http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/javascript-can-i-use-that-on-my-blog/ .
The same is true with iframes, shockwave flash and forms.
If they have a html based code, that would most likely work.

Hi, all. I too am having trouble putting an image in the sideabar. (I joined WordPress because I read so many times how easy it is, but I’ve spent more than two days on this!) I put what I think is the right code into the text box, and then hit “save changes,” but then the image doesn’t show up. When I re-open the thext box, the code I entered isn’t there. If you have a suggestion, I’d be very grateful.

If the code isn’t there, then it was stripped out because it was either incorrect, or it was not allowed.
Image only html:
<img src="http://imagelinkhere" alt="" title="" />Image acting as a link:
<a href="http://pagelinkhere"><img src="http://imagelinkhere" alt="" title="" /> </a> -
