    I found what I was looking for with “Random Words” plug-in.

    Since this plug-in can handle HTML in the “random words/quotes” it can insert; I can call a photo image –

    Best of all – the Random Words plug-in can handle multiple lists of “text” – so I can actually use this same plug-in to manage various random image+caption calls in both of my sidebars.

    You can see it in action as “Breaking News” (top of Column B) and “Girls Who Read LL-N” (mid Column A)

    I guess what I’m saying is taht I dont’ really need the images to appear anywhere else as a “Gallery” in terms of they may want to browse through all of them. I just want a random image with caption to appear on the sidebar. I merely want to pull a random single image at a time – so that people get a “fresh joke” with each refresh.

    Well – I don’t need to control the images much; in that I pre-select and size them from the beginning for the purpose of the “humorous” Breaking News item.

    If there would be a simple Gallery-type install, I could do it, but I find my limits pretty fast on tech stuff,

    I did my first site in PHP-Nuke, and it had “blocks” where I could put in text/HTML in strings separated by a delimiter. Made it fairly easy – as I can type better than I can think.

    I am unfamiliar with Picasa Web. Maybe I should start there.

    That so did it! I thought I needed to change some a:link code. I would never have thought to change an “img” code.

    If there were a button on WordPress.org to send a nice fruit basket, I would do it immediately.

    I did try the absolute URLs rather than the relative and it did not seem to change. I’ll review the coding of that Page.

    [Walks off, checks coding, cringes]

    I’m a nitwit – this is what I get for multiple pastes from one copy. Many of my “p align=left” needed their closing quotation marks. And – duh – now it works.

    You know – I even have the HTML Validator plug-in on Firefox, and I didn’t think to review it that way.

    Thanks for the quick help!

    Note: This is the first anything in WordPress that threw me – this software has worked like a charm – for a newbie like me.
