    What link to Flickr are you using in the widget?

    Also, when you post your blog URL, always include http:// in front, to make it clickable:

    http://curryfamilyadventures.wordpress.com

    Yes thankyou Raincoaster….I worked it out ….finally….. it took me a while though….thanks !!!! I just now have a new problem to work on…do you know how to add pics to side bar ?? have read all the forum advise and tried it all..Im using a text widget and finding the Url link in my pics and inserting that into the text box and all that comes up in the blog is the text of the url used ????? I have successfully used a text widget to insert an E-mail subscription. BUT this image has me scratching my head I can insert text no problem its just the images I`m having trouble with….any suggestions ????

    The URL alone is not enough. You have to put it in image code. Instructions are in the FAQ:

    Put an image in your sidebar

    Yes raincoaster thankyou for your help….but Im doing everything that this thread instructs to do although the image does not show up I get the title(heading) but not the image obviously there is something Im not doing I just have no idea what !!! I go to the media library copy the Url from the desired pic then go to my widget set up copy and paste it into the box under the heading then add the <img src=”followed by pasted url”> and press save changes …..and STILL I only get heading and no pics...I thought it might be beacause I need to change the immage size so I tried that reduced it quite a bit but it STILL doent work…It`s doing my head in what size image would you suggest to fit in the right sidebar maybe that my proble who knows….would love your help !!!! Oh thought it might help to copy and paste the img url here to see if maybe that is wrong so here it is…….. <img src=”http://curryfamilyadventures.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=162″>

    Yes, that does clarify things: you’re not using an Image URL. It’s an ATTACHMENT, not an image. You need to use the media uploader and get the URL of the uploaded image, which will usually end in .jpg.
