  Hello,
  I tried everything, red all the entries in the forum and the faq but I’m still not able to put an image in my sidebar. I uploaded a small jpg (something like 130x160px) copied the url and put it into a text widget like this: <img src=”urlofimage” alt=”nameofimage” /> Then I saved it but nothing happened. I even tried it with different templates… didn’t work. Could anyone help me please?

  See “Unable to change widget contents” in Important Notices forum

  This is day 2 for many of us. In case anyone reading this misses it there is a sticky post at the head of the forum https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=9664

  When something doesn’t work on the first go-round most of us try and try again. Very few of us immediately got to the forum and look for sticky posts.

  The question that arises for me has nothing to do with the widgets.
  It is: why can’t important messages like this be posted on our dashboards?

  I would be delighted to see the Top Posts and Top Blogs listings that I rarely consult removed form my dashboard to provide the space for posting matters that pertain to these kind of issues instead.

  Always look for a sticky. That’s why they are there for. :)
