jpeg pic in the sidebar
-
I hope this wasn’t asked before but what does one have to do to put a jpeg picture into the the sidebar? The FAQ explains it only if the pic has a url.

Take a look at your sidebar and know that size is an issue. The image msut be small – thumbnail sized or aonly slightly larger.
This will sound strange but do it anyway
-> write post -> upload image -> send image to editor – > copy the entire image code -> presentation -> sidebar widgets – > text widget -> open text widget and paste in the image code – > save changes
VOILA!

Thanks for your help. I’m surprised I can’t put larger images there since my theme has a wide margin. thanks again.

Actually the theme just fills in the rest of the space with color. Your width is only 170 pixels.

Hi, sorry for interupting, but I have a question to the answer:
Will a picture automatically be crop down inside when it is put in the way you described. Or must i be done in advance.
If not, will people then see the full size picture when they click on the thumbnail in the sidebar? -
Normally done in advance. The only cropping that WordPress does is it usually makes a thumbnail of your picture.
If you give me a sample picture, I’ll post the code so you can see how to do what you’re asking. :)

Trial and error while waiting for a response usually work for me. Worst-case scenario, you’ll bend your blog out of shape for a couple of minutes until you check and go back and make it smaller.
