For best results, first make sure the pixel width of the image isn't larger than the maximum your sidebar can accomodate - see here:

If it's larger, better downsize it in an image editing application before using it; this guarantees no issues with IE, and it will give you better quality as well, because images downsized by WP lose some color and sharpness - see here:

Then upload the image from your computer to your blog via Media > Add New, copy the File URL you'll get and use that URL in the Image widget.

The photos are from photobucket.

1) There has to be a better host than photobucket that actually allows the photot to live on the site and not link into photobucket.

2) How can I get the photos into that widget?

Thanks so much!
