  Images Widget is not loading the image onto the page. I have followed the directions for getting the image url and placing it in the correct area of the form for the widget. I click
  Save and nothing appears on the sidebar of the blog.

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

  That’s because you didn’t paste the right URL. The image widget requires the URL of the image itself: not a shortlink, not the URL of a page that shows the image. Image URLs always end with the filetype extension (.jpg or .png etc).
  Go to Media > Library, click Edit below the image thumbnail, copy the complete URL that shows in the “File URL” field of the Save module: that’s the URL you need.

  I have used the long link for this image. I have used what is called the
  “permalink”. I have even tried copy pasting the url from the browser when I “view” the image. I have uploaded it as a png and a gif. I have changed the width from 150 to 100. I have cleared the cache on my browser…nothing is working.

  You have done everything except read my reply!
