  Hi all,

  I’m trying to use the Image widget to add an image to my site’s sidebar. But after typing the URL into the “Image URL” field, if I click away to a different field, the image URL literally disappears from the “Image URL” field. Does anyone know why it’s doing this or how to fix it?

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

  What is the exact URL of the image?
  Where is it hosted?
