  Followed instruction to put an image in sidebar. I promise. :-)
  Not working
  Able to do it in text widget but cannot attach a link. Or can I?
  Image is in my image library and I have the URL . When I enter it what I get on my page is something like set up your image widget.

  Help!

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

  Howdy!

  What happens with the image widget that isn’t expected?

  With the text widget, you can link using an image if the image is wrapped in an “a” tag.

  For example:
  <a href="http://site-to-be-linked-to.com"><img src="http://example.com/imagefile.jpg"></a>

  Cheers!

  Since I’m a technical novice:

  I put the image into a post then converted it to text and put that code into text widget. Worked in that the image is up.

  Looks like you’re saying the link goes before the image code.
  Eg:

  Am I on the right track?

  Oh- the code I put in to show you disappeared.
  I’ll just give it a try and come back if it doesn’t work.
  Thanks for being so fast!

  Awesome! Great to hear. If you need anything else, please let me know.

  We’re about to start our holiday period, so my response times will likely be a bit longer than today :-)

  Cheers!
