We do not know what you mean by “I put a link on it”. You open the text widget and your put the link inside it. Is that what you did or not?

Are you by chance attempting to put these into your Links widget? I hope not because that’s not what the instructions in the links I posted above for you tell you to do at all. However, on the off chance that’s what you are dtrying to do then please read the following.
The Links widget cannot be configured. All wordpress.com blogs have only one Blogroll located in the Admin area where you enter all links and assign each link to one or more Categories.
The links you enter into your Blogroll are displayed only after the Links widget is placed in your sidebar. Also note that there must be at least one link assigned to a Category before it will appear in your sidebar.
Likewise, the Category widget must be placed in the sidebar for posts to display. And just like links when it comes to posts there must be at least one published post in a Category before the Category will be displayed in your sidebar.
Once your Links widget and Categories widget are positioned in your sidebar, the manner in which the links you entered into your Blogroll will be displayed is alphabetically in accord with the Categories you created and assigned to those links when you entered them into your Blogroll.
Therefore as you will have multiple Categories it may look like you have multiple Blogrolls when you view your links in your sidebar. But in truth, you only have only one Blogroll, which is displays links as separate alphabetically ordered groups, in accord with the Categories that you assigned to those links when you entered them into your Blogroll.

That wasn’t necessarily a good thing to do. You already have a Links widget that will automatically display all links yo enter here -> Blogroll and assign to a category. Why are you not using it?

Every image which is a link to a page as two parts: the IMAGE part and the LINK part. You need to put in both.
Generally, you should host the images in your own webspace (upload them to WordPress) and get the URL of them from there. Then you put them in the widget in accordance with the thread that both TT and I gave you. Then you add the link.
If you do not know how to do the HTML for a linked image, the best way to do it is to make a post, but save it as a draft. Post your pictures to that using the Visual Editor, just like if you were trying to make a blog post, but don’t hit Publish: hit Save. Then you click on each picture and hit the link icon and add the link for each picture. When you’ve done that, and everything looks the way it should in the text widget, you click on the CODE tab, and you copy all of the code there. That’s the code you need to paste into the text widget.

Don’t call it Links. It’s too confusing. Call it something else, like Badges. Links are something else entirely.

YIKES! Stop – hold everything. There is could be something wonky going on in the backend with widgets right now. This is not the only blogger with the same problem.

Cancel that warning above. The other blogger reporting the text widget problem also does not know how to write links.
