Did you use an absolute image path?

http ://www.yourdomainname.com/path to images folder/nameofpiccy.jpg?

I’ve noticed sometimes that if you don’t use absolute path inside the Post, sometimes it doesn’t work. It will produce a red X in the tiny box to suggest that an image lives there.

Sometimes, though, it works with relative paths ie: /images/imagename.jpg

Here’s a suggestion. Type the absolute path that leads to your image in a browser window (try IE). By rights it should come up and show you the picture. If it doesn’t then you definately have the wrong path to the image.

Edit: Space deliberately left so the url doesn’t become a hyperlink (yes, it was wrapped in < code >and backticks used :0 )`

Isn’t Didactic already available to wordpress? I have something very similar, and called the same name already installed on my sandbox…

If you’re worried about messing things up to the point that you can’t get your design back to what it was originally – back up your file BEFORE you attempt to do anything. If things go wrong, you can always upload your saved copy of your sidebar.php and start again.

You don’t have to delete anything from your sidebar. Just <!--stuff here --> comment out what you don’t want to show. The comment will “hide” the code; in other words it will force it NOT to display.

What theme are you using? That’s always helpful to know so others can help you.

Edit: I type tooo slow 🙂

Put it wherever you want in the stylesheet, but it makes sense to put it with all image coding for ease of modifying, if necessary. Give it a header so you can locate it easily.

/**IMAGES
***********/
.alignleft {
width:150px;
border:none;
height:150px;
text-align:left;
margin:0 0 0 5px;
padding:0;
clear:all;
}

img a {border:none;}

A: yes, but you really won’t need to generate new code in the stylesheet for it. Just stipulate your image size in the img HTML like so

ie: <img src="yourdomain.com/path-to-image" width=300px" height="300px" border="0" alt="description of image" />

Don’t forget a ‘space’ and backslash to close the image tag.

Tried to look at your page, but it falls under the category “Sex”, so no looking…

In light of no looking (I’m not modifying my firewall settings) my suggestion is to read this: http://codex.wordpress.org/New_To_WordPress_-_Where_to_Start

You have this after your closing </html> tag

<!-- Suite101.com -->
<div class='widget'>
<a href= "http://www.suite101.com" alt="Suite101.com" class="widget"><img src= "http://www.suite101.com/graphics/gadget_logo.gif" class="widget"/></a>
<a href= "http://www.suite101.com/freelance_writers/" class="widget">Become a freelance writer!</a><br />
<h3 class="widget">Latest <a href= "http://childrenstv.suite101.com" class="widget">Children’s TV</a> Articles </h3>
<script type="text/javascript" src= "http://suite101.com/rss/widget.js?topic=childrenstv&type=articles" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
<!-- Suite101.com -->
<!-- Dynamic Page Served (once) in 1.476 seconds -->
<!-- Cached page served by WP-Cache -->

You need to move it so that it resides BEFORE the closing </html>

Also you have a bunch of <strong> tags in use WITHOUT the closing tag </strong> ie:

<div><strong /></div`>

just to name a few. You’ll need to clean them up.
