  I want a widget that will let me combine an image and a quotation. I have explored the text widget and the image widget but I can see how to get both in one.

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

  Hi there. Either widget will work for this. If you use the image widget, add your quote to the Caption field. It will then display below the image.

  With the text widget you can add the image via html and then add your text: https://en.support.wordpress.com/beginning-html/#images-in-html

  If you want the text to actually appear on the image, you’ll need to do that in an image editing program before you upload the image to your media library – you can’t do that in WordPress.com.

  Here’s a tutorial on how you can do this using Pixlr, a free online image editor (it has a free downloadable version as well): https://lorelle.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/wordpress-school-text-on-images/

  Thank you for this response. I actually worked it out using the image widget for now, but will explore these other options.
