Want to put an image in a text widget.

I want to put an image that is in my media library inside a text widget. What is the proper HTML code for this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We nearly always need a link to your blog before being able to give an answer that’s right for you. You can link it to your user name – the how to is in the forum sticky called 8 Things to Know Before Posting.

OK. The posting form asked for the link so I thought it would populate. It’s http://www.eventplanet.wordpress.com

virtualevents,
No that is an auto responder to screen out people who have wordpress.ORG blogs coming to the .com forum where our answers do not necessarily apply—their software is different. Ideally it should show the link, but…
Any way:

Obviously you can add text with the picture if you like. -
I am a little lost. This link takes me to a screen shot that appears out of date. The upload app does not look like that anymore and does not show a url for the uploaded graphic.
-
Once you upload an image, it does show a URL for the uploaded image. Copy that, and put it in the text widget using the code they show in that FAQ. The code is not outdated.

It is a little old, but the editor still works the same:
dashboard > new post > “add an image” icon > “media library” > choose your picture > copy “link url”
Paste the url
<img src="URL_OF_YOUR_IMAGE"> -

My post above assumes you have already uploaded the picture.
A non HTML method to write a text widget is to make a draft post in the Visual Editor (remember to make your image small enough), add text, links, whatever. Then switch to html editor, copy the code. Paste it all into your text widget.
