Image with link in sidebar
-
I hope someone has a brilliant idea for the following simple problem.
I’m using WP as CMS for someone who’s website I have been maintaining for many years now and I’d like him to do it himself.
I need to be able to add images with a (external) hyperlink in the side bar. These images are like banners, only difference is that they are not code that fetches the image from an external site (but actual images with a link).
I can’t use a gallery (like NextGen) because if you click on the thumbnail it will only show a larger version of that image instead of taking you to the website of the banner.
I can’t use a text-widget and hardcode the image + hyperlink in it, because he won’t be able to add or change something later.
Plus, it needs to be in the sidebar so that it shows up on all pages, not just as post on one page.Does anyone know of a widget/plugin with wich you can easily add pictures with a link attached to it?
Mind you, the guy is an absolute n00b with the internet, Java is an island and PHP some sort of plastic… -

I’m trying to do the same thing as well!
I’m using WordPress.com, iaaoblog.wordpress.com. I want to put an image in my sidebar that will link to a downloadable file on a separate website.
Thanks,
Nala
