upload it to the images folder in your theme (or anywhere else, and adjust the url in the example I give)
then drop a text widget into your sidebar
and use this
<a href="http://www.yourlink.com"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/images/yourimage.png" alt="title" /></a>
Hi,
You can do this by using text widget on your sidebar. And for that, you do not need to save the image to your local system and then upload it to the blog. You just need that the image must be located somewhere on the www network and you need the URL of the image.
1) Login to your dashboard.
2) Go to Widget.
3) Add ‘Text’ widget.
4) In widget bar, where Text widget is shown, select ‘Edit’ button.
5) Now, you need the URL of the image that you want to add to the sidebar. Type this html code in the edit are of text widget:
6) Click on change and then save.
7) This image will appear in the sidebar of your blog. But make sure that the dimension of image is not so large that it does not suit the blog.
To avoid this problem, you can do the following:
1) Upload an image of proper size when you are writing a new post on your blog.
2) In the upload box, you will find the field link URL. Copy this URL.
3) Now use this URL to add the sidebar.
Thanks,
Shane G.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Sorry to be so dumb, but I still need help!
RVoodoo:
Where do I find the images folder of my theme to upload my image?
Shane:
You say I “just need that the image must be located somewhere on the www network and you need the URL of the image.” That’s the bit that beats me – how do I get the inage on the www network?
Thanks again
