    hi,

    I’ve got custom “text” widget in the right side bar…how can I get images to show up there?

    I’ve uploaded the images thru the Media…taken the url and posted it in the custom field…but the url shows up …not the image.

    thank you….

    What code did you add?

    Did you add something like:

    <img src="http://archersbutcherblock.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/archers-deli200.jpg" alt="">

    in the widget?

    …and I’d like the images to link to other pages on the site. Is that possible??

    you have to use the html code for images. Read more about it here:
    HTML <img> Tag
    So for you it would be something like <img src="http://archersbutcherblock.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/archers-deli200.jpg" alt="My alt text" />

    One other solution is to get a plugin that adds a image widget like
    Image Widget

    (edit)…and to make it a link you must use the “a” tag outside the img tag.
    <a href="http://www.mysite.com"><img src="myimge.jpg" alt="My alt text" /></a>

    You can also enter a link with the image widget.
