How do I insert an image into a widget?

Hi Ken,

To insert an image into a widget on your home page (or any other widgetized area on your site) first go to your WordPress dashboard, and navigate to the Media → Add New page.

First, upload and/or select the image file you wish to insert.

Then, hover over the image and click Edit.

Next, copy the File URL to your clipboard.

Now, go to: Appearance → Widgets

Select or create a new text widget.

Paste the File URL you copied earlier into this text widget.

Finally, wrap it inside an <img> tag, like so:

<img src="your-image-file-url.jpg" />

To use the image as a link, place the <img> code inside a link anchor tag, like so:

<a href="your-link.html"><img src="your-image-file-url.jpg" />

Hope this helps!
