  I put images onto my pages and posts but it won’t show on the blog. You see, by clicking on the “tree” button which says insert image, I put in the url code of the images. But, once I log out from my account and visit my blog, the images are not visible, instead a small white box shows up in it’s place. The other visitors to my blog also have the same problem, they are unable to see the pictures. So, what do I do. I am really in need of an answer. I put in so many oictures using their urls’, but none show in the blog. What do I do?

  dashyat,

  The image links you have included are things like this one:

  http://by127w.bay127.mail.live.com/att/GetAttachment.aspx?tnail=0&messageId=5b3fdb47-9a35-49d3-bd8a-6938edca7474&Aux=14|0|8CA7B1E66CA1110|

  I think that’s an attachment URL within your Webmail account, it’s not accessible to anyone else.

  Download the photos you want to link to, and follow the instructions here to add it to a WordPress blog post:

  is it possible for me to insert pictures into my sidebar as well?

  Yes, you replace what you have with the URL of the image in your WordPress.com webspace. Blogs can only display images already in webspace. So you upload the image and once it’s uploaded, you can hit “insert in post” or just copy the URL that it shows you and put that instead of the pic address you have there now.

  You can put them in a text widget. You will need to use HTML code to put them in; you don’t get a visual editor for that. What I do, since I don’t like to use HTML, is I make a draft post and once it looks like I want the widget to look, I click to the HTML editor tab and copy all the code and paste that into the text widget.
