As you now know, Media > Add New is where you upload images if you don't want them to be associated with a post.

@noirciplume Thanks for this suggestion, but I tried it & tinypic didn't allow me to copy the URL.

To avoid issues with Explorer, make sure the image has the right pixel width for your sidebar - see here:

The image URL provided on the site where I found it does not work: when I paste the URL into the image widget, I get only the little blue box w/ a ? inside instead of the image.

I'd like to create my own image URL for this image, but don't know how to do that. I know I have to upload the image into a post to create a URL, but if I Publish it then I'd have a random post with just this image in it on my Homepage. I've also been told I don't have to publish it or can publish it privately, but I've tried both ways & the image still does not show up in the sidebar.

I'd like to know how to create my own image URL for this & future images. My theme is Twenty Eleven.

Thank you!
