  When I copy and paste html codes into the text box, it shortens the code after I save and only part of the picture is showing. Why is it doing this?

  eg. – <img border=”0″ width=”125″ src=”http://www.indiesmiles.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/indiesmilesnew.jpg />

  ends up like this in box – <img border=”0″ width=”125″ />

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

  The OP’s username is linked to a wordpress blog (as of now anyway).

  If the code you posted in the text widget is exactly the same as here on the forum the problem is caused by missing the closing “quote” after the src attribute. If you want to just include a picture in the sidebar perhaps try the image widget. It is much easier to use and requires no tinkering with HTML.
