  Hi there,

  I want to use the Image Widget described here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/. But it doesn’t appear in my dashboard’s list of widgets. How can I get it? I’m using Misty Lake. Thanks!

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

  2 ways to find it:

  One:
  In your dashboard, click ‘Widgets’, under ‘Appearance’.
  Scroll down to the ‘Image’ widget and drag it up into ‘Sidebar’ where you want it to appear.

  or Two:
  In your dashboard, click ‘Customize’, under ‘Appearance’.
  Click ‘Widgets:Sidebar’.
  Click the ‘+ Add a Widget’ button.
  Scroll down and click
  ‘Image
  Display an image in your sidebar’

  Thank you! Got it–I couldn’t see it when I went Dashboard>Appearance>Widgets, but I found it when I went from the top menu under my name. There’s a plain Widgets option there and that seemed to work.
