 * Hi
    I would like to add a sidebar image to my right sidebar underneath my page
   list – do I do this in ‘style and edit sidebars’ or someplace else? what is the
   correct code to use when adding images here?
 * I am using the theme Atahualpa and my site is [http://www.peacefulsilkworms.com.au](http://www.peacefulsilkworms.com.au)

 * You’re probably best editing your sidebar template and adding the image code 
   where you want the image to display.
 * `<img src="url_of/image.jpg" width="xxx" height="yyy alt="text alternative" /

 * Add a text widget to your sidebar at the prefered location and put this code 
   inside that text widget
    `<img src="url_of/image.jpg" width="xxx" height="yyy
   alt="text alternative" />`

 * Thankyou both, I have decided to go with the sidebar widget this is what I have
   put into the code in the widget but only the words ‘textalternative’ is showing
   in my sidebar with no image?
 * `<img src="url_of/www/public_html/wp-admin/images/sidebarimage1.jpg" width="140px"
   height="400px alt="textalternative" />`
 * what am i doing wrong?

 * You need to use the full address of the image that you want to display in place
   of `url_of/www/public_html/wp-admin/images/sidebarimage1.jpg`.

 * thanks esmi
    I have done this and ensured that the image is in the correct folder
   but i am still not getting the image on my website, this is what I have in the
   code exactly in the widget box
 * <img src=”url_of/www/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa342/images/sidebarimage1.
   jpg” width=”150″ height=”400 alt=”textalternative” />

 * You have the url wrong. It should look more like
    `<img src="http://www.example.
   com/images/sidebarimage1.jpg" width="150" height="400 alt="textalternative" /
   >`

 * tried that still not showing any picture, one interesting thing is though, when
   the page is loading you can see the outline of where the photo is meant to come
   up but then when the page loads it is not there, could there be something simple
   blocking it?

 * The url is not correct. You have:
 *     ```
       http://www.peacefulsilkworms.com.au/public_html/wp-content/themes/atahualpa342/images/sidebarimage1.jpg
       ```
   
 * but it should be
 *     ```
       http://www.peacefulsilkworms.com.au/wp-content/themes/atahualpa342/images/sidebarimage1.jpg
       ```
