   Hiya,
   I know this is going to be pretty simple but I have had a wee look around and kind find out how to do this.
   I want to put a clickable picture link in the sidebar of my Kubrick style blog, how do I do this?

   This depends on what you're needing. Are you needing the picture to change from time to time as you update a certain page or category, or is this just a simple, permanent picture that you need in place? Both are possible to achieve.

   It is just a permanent picture that links to another site basically that I want, I have no idea about the code that I would have to put in?

   If this question refers to the blog linked by your name here... you have at least 2 image links in your sidebar, e.g.
   <a href='http://www.blogcatalog.com'><img src='http://www.blogcatalog.com/images/buttons/blogcatalog5.gif' alt='Blog Catalog' /></a>
   Just change the URI, the image location and you are done :)

   I thought it was that simple but it is not. I have added a jpeg to one of the links but it is not showing up.....

   This is the image

   is it because the image is so large it is not being allowed to work?

   What was the code you used? (put it in backticks - see below the text area here!)

   It is just the add link function in wordpress itself I used, so I do not know the code, it allows for a picture to be used as well. I was beginning to think that it just allowed small images not large ones like the one that I want to use.

   You cannot use the "add link function" to put a link in the sidebar - if we are talking about the same thing: the link quicktag in the admin Write area.

    So how did you put there your google ads?
    I think it should work in the same way: open your sidebar.php template file in a text editor and put in a code similar to what I quoted above.
